The rule

What “paid in full” proves

Paid in full

Here is how the paid in full stamp is earned:

  1. 01

    A contract was accepted here

    A written contract, with a fixed total and a stage schedule, accepted by both sides on the platform.

  2. 02

    Every stage was paid here

    Every stage of the contract is paid in full.

  3. 03

    Every stage was approved and released

    The client signed off on each stage's work, and the money moved to the writer.

  4. 04

    Nothing was refunded or disputed

    A contract that ended in a refund or an open dispute does not earn the paid in full stamp.

  5. Then a person reads it

    Our team looks over the work to make sure it was real before approving the review.

Why so strict

A review you can get any other way is worthless. Tying a review to money that actually moved through us makes it expensive to fake.

Every new contract has to travel the same four checkpoints, and a writer's record can only grow one finished book at a time.

If anyone asks you to pay outside the platform, that contract can never earn a review. You also lose the holding feature, so we can't freeze the money if something goes wrong.
