Accepting or declining a quote

Choose how to accept a quote response or move on to another provider....

When a provider responds to your quote request, you decide how to proceed.

Acceptance options

  • Accept & Pay — pay securely through DimePay. Funds for online jobs are held in platform escrow until work is completed.
  • Pay Later — accept now and pay within the reminder window. Unpaid acceptances can revert if payment is not completed in time.
  • Offline — arrange payment outside the platform when the provider allows it. Offline jobs have limited dispute protection and no platform service fees.
  • Escrow milestones — for larger quotes, milestone escrow may be available.

Declining or moving on

  • If a quote is not right, decline it and continue with other providers.
  • Use Compare Quotes in your dashboard to shortlist options before you decide.

Always confirm scope, timeline, and payment method in chat before work begins.
