About Dealokr
Protect every freelance deal.
Dealokr was created so freelancers do not have to start work on a promise, chase payment after delivery or hand over final files before a client has validated the work.
Why Dealokr exists
Freelancers should not carry all the risk while clients are asked to trust a delivery they cannot yet see.
A deal often begins with a promise: the freelancer starts, the client says payment will follow, and the final work is expected before the payment path and approval rules are clear. That is where late payments, misunderstandings and difficult handovers begin.
Dealokr turns this fragile sequence into a protected deal. Terms are set first, the Stripe Connect payment journey is visible, the client can review a preview, and the final release follows the agreed validation path. Both sides know what must happen next.
The operating principle
Protect the payment, the delivery and the trust between both sides.
Confirm payment
Keep the Stripe Connect payment state visible in the deal before the work moves forward.
Protect final files
Let the client review a preview while final files or access stay protected until the agreed stage.
Release with clarity
Connect client validation and the release workflow in one record both parties can follow.
Clear responsibilities
A protected payment journey, with clear responsibilities.
Dealokr protects the deal around the payment: clear terms, a Stripe Connect payment journey, protected delivery and client validation stay connected. Stripe Connect processes payments and connected-account payouts; Dealokr does not hold client funds or present itself as a bank, regulated escrow agent, legal adviser or tax adviser.
