Adding a billing method is required before you can complete the hiring flow. ToptalExpert supports card payments and PayPal, with charges tied to the actual work logged on a contract.
Supported payment methods
- Verified PayPal accounts
- Visa and MasterCard
How charges are calculated
The platform bills according to the billable hours tracked on the contract.
If a weekly limit is set, the system uses that limit to define the maximum billable amount, but it charges only for the hours actually worked.
Why multiple billing methods help
Adding more than one billing method reduces the risk of failed payments caused by low balance, card issues, or a temporary verification problem.
You can also designate a primary payment method for your projects.
Practical example
If a contract is set at $10/hour with a 20-hour weekly limit, the maximum weekly bill is $200, but a week with only 10 tracked hours is billed at $100.
