HOW IT WORKS

From first invoice to paid in 4 steps

Works however your clients pay upfront, milestone, or after delivery.

STEP 01

Create Invoice

Build a branded invoice with your services, rates, and payment terms. Takes 60 seconds.

STEP 02

Get Paid Your Way

Request a deposit before you start, bill in milestones, or invoice after delivery. Your workflow, your terms.

STEP 03

Track Every Payment

Whether clients pay upfront, in milestones, or after delivery every payment auto-updates the balance. See exactly what's paid and what's outstanding.

STEP 04

Get Paid

Settle invoices from the client's deposit balance instantly. No reminders, no chasing, no Excel.

Scope creep and rendering files delivered without payment security

Video editors spend hours rendering files only to wait months for payment. Manual time calculations for revisions cause billing disputes and cash flow gaps.

Prepaid video project deposits

Secure client commitments with upfront deposits loaded on their profile. Log editing, sound design, and rendering hours, and settle invoices instantly from their balance.
