Questions freelancers ask before the first deal.
Where is my client’s payment kept?+
For a fixed-price project, your client pays 100% upfront through Stripe. Funds remain in the Dealokr platform’s Stripe balance, pending transfer to your connected account through Stripe Connect.
When do I receive my payment?+
Once your client approves the preview, you trigger the transfer from your Dealokr workspace. Final files unlock once the transfer is confirmed; the money then reaches your bank account according to your Stripe payout schedule.
The first payout generally takes 7 to 14 days, partly due to security checks; subsequent payouts may be faster depending on your account.
What if my client does not approve or stops replying?+
The review period lasts five days from the delivery notification. When it ends, you can trigger the release from your workspace if there is no open dispute and your account is ready. The deadline alone does not trigger an automatic transfer.
What if they request changes?+
Your client requests a revision from the same link and describes the changes they need. You then share a new preview; your agreement sets the number of included revisions.
Does my client need to create an account?+
No. You send a secure link, and your client verifies access with a code sent to their email. They can then sign, pay, message you and approve the work through the interface they can access.
Can they access the final files before approval?+
Your client reviews the preview. Final files hosted in Dealokr become accessible after release and transfer confirmation. External links remain subject to the external provider’s sharing permissions.
What if they dispute the payment with their bank?+
A bank dispute is still possible after a confirmed payment. Dealokr keeps the agreement, messages and delivery history to support your response; the client’s bank decides the outcome.
What fees apply to my project?+
Junior: €0/month and a 5% commission per deal, with a €1 minimum. Pro: €29/month and 0% Dealokr commission while your subscription is active. Client-side service and payment fees are shown before payment.
