Price, invoice, and receive money
The best payment route depends on your country, the client or platform, the currencies involved, and how you withdraw the money. Agree on the currency and payment method before work begins. Then compare the full cost, including receiving, conversion, withdrawal, and recurring fees, on the provider’s current pricing page.
