How payments are handled
Crypto and Fiat projects use separate payment processes. For crypto payments, users control their wallets and DEELO does not hold user crypto funds. Fiat means provider-processed payments in ordinary currency, such as supported credit or debit card payments and, where available, supported bank-payment methods. DEELO is not a bank, payroll provider, or crypto exchange.
Client workflow
- Create the Project and define the Vendor, Project Reviewer, Project Phases, and Milestone Deliverables.
- Choose Pre-funded Project or Fund as You Go before confirming the Project Phase structure.
- Review the cost estimate and identify whether the selected path uses wallet and network actions or provider-handled Fiat actions.
- For Crypto payments, connect the correct wallet and check the network before signing.
- For Fiat payments, use the verified email workspace and wait until the Vendor payment-provider setup is ready.
- Before funding a Pre-funded Project Phase, wait for the applicable Crypto deployment or Fiat provider-readiness confirmation.
- Review submitted Milestone Deliverables and approve release only when the work is accepted.
Pre-funded Project versus Fund as You Go
A Pre-funded Project is funded before Milestone Deliverable work proceeds through the applicable Crypto or Fiat payment process. Fund as You Go lets the Client take supported payment actions closer to approved work, depending on the Project Phase state and applicable payment process.
Fund as You Go still requires clear scope, Milestone Deliverable evidence, review discipline, and careful wallet or payment-provider confirmation.
Before approving a payment action
- Confirm the Project Phase title, Vendor, amount, and selected Crypto or Fiat payment path.
- Check whether the action is deployment, token approval, provider checkout, funding, release, refund, or another supported lifecycle action.
- For Crypto, read the wallet network-fee estimate. For Fiat, review the provider payment screen and amount before confirming.
- Do not proceed if the Project Phase status, amount, token, payment method, or recipient looks wrong.
