When will I get paid if I choose ‘waiting for client payment’?
When you use the services of Finqle for your freelance shift, both your invoicing and your payment are handled by them. The client pays the invoice to Finqle, and Finqle then pays you. If you choose the “wait for client payment” option at the checkout, you’ll be paid automatically once the client has paid the invoice.
Payment term
Clients have up to 14, 30, 45 of 60 days to pay the invoice after they’ve received it. You can always find the relevant payment term for your shift in your shift's assignment agreement.
Do keep in mind that the invoice date is defined by the date the client received the invoice, and not by the date you have worked. Clients receive a collective invoice from Finqle every Monday and Thursday. These collective invoices include the invoices of all flex workers whose checkouts have been approved before.
What if my invoice has expired?
If payment has not been received by the due date, Finqle will send payment reminders to your client. It’s common to give the client a little extra time to pay after the payment term has passed.
Keep in mind that business payments can sometimes take longer than expected. Delayed payments are a normal part of the credit risk that comes with working as a freelancer or self-employed professional.
How do I make sure, I get paid in time in the future?
We recommend you to choose DirectPay. With this payment option you will get paid within minutes after your checkout has been confirmed by the client. This option costs 2.9% of your invoice.
