    Deliver and get paid

    Deliver through the order page. Once the client approves, the amount goes to your earnings and you can withdraw it to your payout account.

    My earnings

Protected payments

You start working when the money is already there

The client pays when ordering, by CIB or Edahabia card or from their Tamam balance. Tamam holds the money during the work and releases it when the client approves the delivery. If something goes wrong, the order history shows everything that was agreed.

  1. Held The client pays. Tamam holds the money.
  2. Delivered The freelancer delivers the work.
  3. Approved The client approves. The payment is released.
