About PaidPromise
PaidPromise is a web-based escrow payment tool for freelancers who already have a client and want to collect project funds before starting work. A freelancer creates a single payment link for a job, and the client funds the agreed amount upfront. Funds are held in a smart contract on Base rather than a company account, then released after the client approves the work or a selected 3-, 7-, or 14-day review window expires without a response. The freelancer can share a watermarked preview first; clean deliverables become available when payment is released. PaidPromise charges a flat 1.75% fee only upon release, with refunds carrying no fee. It is not a freelancer marketplace and has no subscription requirement. Jobs are capped at $500. The service is intended for independent freelancers and their clients handling direct project payments.
