Protected Payment · Planned option
Protection when the work calls for it.
For eligible projects, Protected Payment is intended to help clients and independent professionals agree on a clear payment and release process. It is not available yet, and its terms are pending legal review.
A shared view from funding to release.
The client pays for an eligible project and the payment provider processes and settles it in the normal way. The amount is not credited to the seller until the client releases it. After delivery the client can release payment, request changes or open a dispute, which SW Global Pay reviews. Card chargeback rights still apply.
Protected Payment is not live. It is a workflow within SW Global Pay, not a separate account held by a payment provider. Read the Protected Payment Terms.
Choose the right path for the project.
