Escrow Policy

Last updated: January 2025 · Effective immediately upon registration

Blink Gigs uses an escrow system to protect both buyers and freelancers in every transaction.

How Escrow Works

💳

Payment Received

Buyer completes payment via Paystack or Flutterwave

🔒

Funds Secured

Payment is held securely in escrow — freelancer cannot access it yet

🔨

In Progress

Freelancer works on the order; buyer can communicate freely

📦

Delivered

Freelancer submits the completed work for buyer review

✅

Approved

Buyer approves the delivery

💸

Funds Released

Earnings (minus platform fee) are credited to the freelancer's balance

If a buyer does not approve or dispute within 7 days of delivery, funds are automatically released to the freelancer.

If a dispute is raised, funds remain locked in escrow until our team resolves the case (typically 3–5 business days).

Blink Gigs deducts a 15% platform service fee from the escrow amount before releasing earnings to the freelancer.
