Industry playbook
Secure your development billing. Load the client's upfront milestone payment into their wallet. When you complete a sprint, create the invoice and pay it using the wallet balance. This secures your time and keeps project delivery moving.
Load upfront retainers into the client's wallet. Settle hourly or sprint invoices using the wallet at checkout to ensure zero unpaid work.
Taxes are recorded dynamically when you generate and pay the invoice using the client's wallet balance.
