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.
