Invoice
You deliver before getting paid.
Your client pays after delivery.
MILESTONE PAYMENTS · COMING SOONUp to 12 months of Pro free
Secure payment. Fair release.
The budget for each stage is secured. Your client reviews the delivery before payout. Both in one link.
How it works
One project. Two sides. A better start.
- 01
Agree clearly
Set scope, budget and the review period in one payment link.
- 02
Secure the budget
The client pays the stage upfront through the link — without signing up.
- 03
Deliver & approve
The client reviews the delivery, requests changes or approves the payout.
Stipme organises approval. Stripe moves the money. Stipme never holds customer funds.
The difference
Upfront payment for you, control for your client — both in one link.
Prepayment
Your budget is secured.
Your client pays before delivery without approval rights.
Payment link
Payment becomes easier.
A shared milestone approval flow is missing.
With Stipme
Stipme organises upfront payment for each stage.
Your client reviews, requests changes or approves — without signing up.

Less back-and-forth, more agreement
So you both agree – before money moves.
The AI helps you write and understand – from the same agreement that decides when a payout is released.
Stipme AI
In Stipme the AI only answers from your agreement.
The AI never decides who is right and never moves money. It only answers from your agreement.
Provider
Start with the budget secured.
Freelancers and agencies know the agreed scope and start each stage once it is paid. After approval, the money goes to their bank account.
Client
Pay upfront. Stay in control.
Clients review each delivery before approval and can request changes. For non-delivery, a refund is available under the agreed rule.
Frequently asked questions
What both sides want to know before starting.
How is Stipme different from invoicing, prepayment, and a standard payment link?
Stipme combines a secured budget and client approval in one payment link. With an invoice, the provider carries the payment risk; with prepayment, the client gives up control before delivery; and a standard payment link has no shared milestone approval. With Stipme, the client secures each stage upfront and can review the delivery, request changes, or approve it.
Does my client need to sign up?
No, your client does not need to sign up. They open the payment link, review the project, milestones, and rules agreed in advance, and pay directly. They can then review each delivery, request changes, or approve it.
What happens if nothing is delivered?
The client can reclaim the full amount if nothing is submitted by the agreed delivery date plus seven days. This protection applies to every milestone and is accepted by both sides before payment. Stipme organises the agreed rule but does not decide disputes.
Who moves the money — and does Stipme hold it?
No, Stipme never holds the money itself. Stipme organises milestones, review periods, and approvals; the licensed payment partner accepts the payment, reserves it until the agreed approval, and then pays it to the provider's bank account.
