Send money to anyone you're chatting with for tips, bonuses, or quick reimbursements. In an unfunded bounty chat, the same flow switches to escrow-protected payment for the bounty work.
Tip someone for great work, or send a bonus after a task is done
Pay for something small without creating a bounty or escrow
Split costs, reimburse expenses, or send money for any reason
Send Money vs Escrow: Send Money is instant and simple for direct transfers: no hold period, no disputes, no delivery confirmation. Use bounties with escrow when you need payment protection for larger tasks.
Sending money takes about 30 seconds. Here's how.
Go to Messages and open the conversation with the person you want to send money to. This can be any conversation, whether from a bounty, a service booking, or a direct message.
In the Details panel on the right side of the conversation, click the 💸 Send Money button. In a funded bounty conversation this may say 💸 Send Additional Money in the details panel; in an unfunded bounty conversation it creates an escrow-protected payment instead of a direct transfer.
On mobile, tap the "Details" icon in the top-right of the conversation to open the panel.
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.
Credit card, debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and more: whatever Stripe supports in your country.
No platform fee. 100% of the amount you send goes to the recipient. Standard Stripe processing fees apply.
After payment, you're redirected back to the conversation. A system message appears in the chat confirming the transfer:
Both you and the recipient see the message and can view transfer history in the Details panel.
Anyone can receive money, even if they haven't set up a bank account yet.
If Stripe can pay your linked bank immediately, the transfer is sent automatically. Otherwise it appears in Account → Earnings as withdrawable balance, and you can click Withdraw. Bank deposits typically arrive within 1-2 business days, depending on your bank.
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.
Go to your Account → Earnings and click "set up bank account". You'll be taken to Stripe to enter your bank details. This only takes a minute.
Once your bank is linked, go to Account → Earnings and click "Withdraw". All held funds (from transfers and escrows) are sent to your bank in one batch.
View your current balance (both held transfers and escrow earnings) on your Account → Earnings tab. Your balance includes:
Funds ready to withdraw (from completed transfers and released escrows)
Escrow funds still in the 4-day review window (not yet available)
Between $1 and $10,000 per transfer. There's no limit on the number of transfers you can send.
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.
Yes! Either person in the conversation can send money to the other. The direction is automatic based on who clicks "Send Money."
The funds are held securely on the platform. The recipient can withdraw once they link a bank account from Account → Earnings. There's no expiration — funds are held until withdrawn.
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.
Yes. Escrow holds funds until task completion, with dispute resolution and a review window. Direct Send Money transfers are instant — once you pay, the recipient gets the funds or a withdrawable balance. Use escrow for larger tasks where you need payment protection.
Yes. Send Money works in bounty chats, service booking chats, and direct messages. If the bounty is not funded yet, it becomes an escrow-protected payment; if the bounty is already funded, it sends additional money outside escrow.
Open any conversation and click "Details" (right panel). Your recent transfers for that conversation are shown below the Send Money button.
