Payments and Invoicing on Youdji
Discover the different payment options available on Youdji, tailored to the needs of businesses, agencies, and brands.
How an Order Works on Youdji
Regardless of the payment method chosen, the payment process on Youdji follows a simple and secure flow:
- Receive a personalized offer: A creator sends you an offer tailored to your needs.
- Secure prepayment: You pay the offer upfront, but the funds are not immediately transferred to the creator. They are placed in a virtual escrow managed by Youdji. This step secures the collaboration by ensuring you have the necessary funds. If the creator fails to deliver the content, you can be reimbursed.
- Immediate invoicing: Once the payment is made, your invoice is generated. It will be sent by email and will also be available from your order.
- Content delivery: The creator delivers the content directly on the platform.
- Approval or request for revisions: You can approve the delivered content or request adjustments if necessary.
- Payment to the creator: Once the content is approved, the funds are released and paid to the creator.
