Built for freelance deals
Freelance deals break when money, files, and proof split apart.
From yes to release, every step has a place.
Create the deal, send one client link, get payment state attached through Stripe, deliver a preview, and release final files after validation.
One client link. No platform to learn.
Your client reviews the terms, signs, pays through Stripe, inspects the preview, and validates the work from the same guided portal. It feels like a professional handoff, not another platform to explain.

Client reassurance
The client sees the same agreement, payment state, preview, and validation path in one calm workspace.
Ask for payment without making it awkward.
Dealokr frames payment as part of the project process. The client sees what to review, how to sign, where Stripe handles payment, and how preview validation will work.
A simple way to introduce the link
Freelancer
I use Dealokr so the agreement, payment status, preview, and validation stay in one place.
Client
So I sign, pay, and review the preview from this link?
Freelancer
Exactly. No marketplace account. You just follow the project steps.
Feels standard
Present it as your normal client process, not a special warning.
Less client friction
They open one secure link and follow the steps from there.
One obvious next step
Review, sign, pay through Stripe, then validate the preview.
One deal record beats ten scattered tools.
Without Dealokr, the agreement, payment state, delivery, and validation drift into separate places. With Dealokr, the whole flow stays attached to one record both sides can follow.
Use wording that makes Dealokr feel normal.
I use Dealokr for new projects so we both have the agreement, Stripe payment status, preview delivery, and validation in one place. You can review the terms, sign, pay, and approve the preview before final files are released.
New client
For this project I use Dealokr as my standard client flow. You will receive one secure link to review the terms, sign, pay through Stripe, and later validate the preview before final files are released.
Repeat client
I am moving new projects through Dealokr so the agreement, payment status, delivery preview, and validation stay in one clean record. It keeps the handoff simple for both of us.
Let clients review the work before they receive the final assets.
Dealokr gives clients a clean preview experience while production files stay gated until validation or an approved release state.
If a project gets questioned, your record is already built.
Contract versions, signature states, payment state, delivery access, validation, and important notes stay inside the same commercial record.

Questions freelancers ask before the first deal.
How does it work in practice?+
You create a deal: describe the mission, set the price, define the deliverables, and choose the validation rules. Dealokr generates the agreement and gives you one secure link to send.
Your client opens the link, reviews the terms, signs, and pays through Stripe. The payment state appears in the shared record before work moves forward.
When the work is ready, you deliver a preview first. The client validates or requests changes, then final files become available after validation or an approved release state.
If questions come up later, the agreement, payment state, delivery activity, and validation events are already in the proof timeline.
Does my client need to create an account?+
No. You send one secure link. They review the deal, sign, pay through Stripe, and later validate the preview without managing a marketplace account.
What if my client refuses to use Dealokr?+
Most clients just need to understand why the link exists. Present Dealokr as your standard project process: it keeps the terms, payment status, preview, and validation clear for both sides.
What happens if the client does not validate the delivery?+
The deal stays in validation pending with a record of preview access, delivery notes, requests, and activity. You are not trying to reconstruct the story from scattered messages.
What if the client disputes the payment with their bank?+
The proof timeline documents each step: signed terms, payment state, file access, delivery notes, and validation. Dealokr does not replace legal or payment-provider processes, but it gives you a clearer record to work from.
How is this different from a regular PDF contract?+
A PDF contract proves what was agreed. Dealokr also records what happened after that: signature, payment state, delivery, access, revision requests, and validation.
Does it work for small projects too?+
Yes. Small projects are often the ones freelancers leave informal, which makes them easier to misunderstand. A 200 EUR mission still deserves clear terms, visible payment status, and a clean delivery record.
How much does it really cost?+
Junior has no monthly subscription and includes a 5% Dealokr commission per deal, with a 1 EUR minimum. Pro is 29 EUR/month and removes Dealokr commission while active. A visible client checkout fee may still apply so service and payment-provider costs are shown before payment.
Where are my files stored?+
Files uploaded through protected delivery stay behind the deal access flow. Preview files can be reviewed first, while final-file access stays gated until the deal reaches validation or an approved release state.
