How to Send Money
Sending money takes about 30 seconds. Here's how.
1
Open a Conversation
Go to Messages and open the conversation with the person you want to send money to. This can be any conversation — from a bounty, a service booking, or a direct message.
2
Click "Send Money"
In the Details panel on the right side of the conversation, click the 💸 Send Money button.
On mobile, tap the "Details" icon in the top-right of the conversation to open the panel.
3
Enter Amount & Pay
Enter the dollar amount you want to send (between $1 and $10,000) and click Send. You'll be redirected to Stripe's secure checkout page.
Accepted payment methods
Credit card, debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and more — whatever Stripe supports in your country.
Fees
No platform fee. 100% of the amount you send goes to the recipient. Standard Stripe processing fees apply.
4
Done!
After payment, you're redirected back to the conversation. A system message appears in the chat confirming the transfer:
System:💸 Alex sent $25.00
Both you and the recipient see the message and can view transfer history in the Details panel.
Receiving Money
Anyone can receive money — even if they haven't set up a bank account yet.
If you have a bank account linked
Funds are transferred to your bank account automatically via Stripe. You'll typically see the money in your account within 2-3 business days, depending on your bank.
If you haven't linked a bank account yet
No problem — the money is held securely on the platform until you're ready to withdraw. Your balance accumulates and you can withdraw everything at once.
1
Set up payouts
Go to your Dashboard → Payouts and click "Set up payouts". You'll be taken to Stripe to enter your bank details. This only takes a minute.
2
Withdraw your balance
Once your bank is linked, go to Dashboard → Payouts and click "Withdraw". All held funds (from transfers and escrows) are sent to your bank in one batch.
Checking Your Balance
View your current balance (both held transfers and escrow earnings) on your Dashboard → Payouts tab. Your balance includes:
- Available
Funds ready to withdraw (from completed transfers and released escrows) - On Hold
Escrow funds still in the 4-day review window (not yet available)
FAQ
How much can I send?
Between $1 and $10,000 per transfer. There's no limit on the number of transfers you can send.
Are there any fees?
No platform fee — 100% of what you send goes to the recipient. Standard Stripe payment processing fees (around 2.9% + 30¢) are charged on top of your amount at checkout.
Can both sides send money?
Yes! Either person in the conversation can send money to the other. The direction is automatic based on who clicks "Send Money."
What if I send money to someone without a bank account?
The funds are held securely on the platform. The recipient can withdraw once they link a bank account via Dashboard → Payouts. There's no expiration — funds are held until withdrawn.
Can I get a refund?
Send Money transfers are instant and non-reversible. If you sent money by mistake, contact the recipient directly through the conversation to arrange a return transfer.
Is this different from escrow?
Yes. Escrow holds funds until both parties confirm task completion, with dispute resolution and a review window. Send Money is instant — once you pay, the recipient gets the funds. Use escrow for larger tasks where you need payment protection.
Can I send money from a bounty conversation?
Yes. Send Money works in any conversation — bounty chats, service booking chats, or direct messages. It's independent of the bounty/escrow system.
Where can I see my transfer history?
Open any conversation and click "Details" (right panel). Your recent transfers for that conversation are shown below the Send Money button.
