When you’re ready to hire an expert for a fixed price job, you’ll need to fund the project before your offer can be sent. Depending on your account type and whether your offer has milestones, the funding steps will be slightly different.

Let’s walk through each case.

If You’re a Subscriber (Expert on the Platform)

You’re Offering a Milestone-Based Project

  1. Click Send Offer.
  2. A pop-up titled “Fund this contract” will appear.
  3. You’ll see the option to fund the first milestone (this is selected by default).
  4. Your saved payment method (credit/debit card) will appear.
  5. Click Fund & Send Offer to confirm.

✅ Your offer is sent, and the first milestone is funded.

You’re Offering a One-Time Project (No Milestones)

  1. Click Send Offer.
  2. A pop-up titled “Verify billing method” will appear.
  3. You’ll see the full project price and your saved payment method.
  4. Click Fund & Send Offer to confirm.
