Automatic weekly billing works well for most hourly projects, but some engagements need more flexibility. Manual payment mode is built for those cases.
What manual payment mode changes
- Automatic weekly billing is turned off for that contract.
- You and the freelancer agree on how and when payments will be made.
- Hours or deliverables still need to be tracked clearly so both sides know what is owed.
When manual payments are useful
- Milestone-based projects
- Custom enterprise billing arrangements
- Situations where the team wants to approve work manually before each payment
How to enable manual payment mode
- Open the contract details page for the project.
- Choose the edit contract option.
- Find the payment settings section and switch the contract to manual payment mode.
- Save the change.
