Orders and Payments
How escrow works, order statuses, and payment flow.
How Escrow Works
Every payment on Workrr goes through escrow. Here is what that means:
- Buyer pays for an order
- SOL goes to the Workrr escrow wallet (not the worker yet)
- Worker completes and delivers the work
- Buyer approves the delivery
- Escrow releases payment to the worker
This protects both sides. Buyers know they can get a refund if something goes wrong. Workers know the money is already secured before they start working.
Order Statuses
Orders move through these statuses:
- Pending Payment - Buyer initiated but payment not confirmed yet
- In Progress - Payment confirmed, worker is working
- Delivered - Worker submitted delivery, waiting for buyer review
- Revision Requested - Buyer asked for changes
- Completed - Buyer approved, payment released
- Cancelled - Order was cancelled
- Disputed - A dispute is open
Payment Confirmation
After you approve a transaction in your wallet, it takes a few seconds to confirm on Solana. The order page shows a spinner while this happens. Once confirmed, the order moves to In Progress.
If confirmation takes longer than expected, refresh the page. The system checks the blockchain and updates automatically.
Auto-Complete
When a worker delivers, buyers have 7 days to respond. If they do not approve or request a revision within that time, the order automatically completes.
This prevents orders from sitting in limbo. The countdown shows on the order page after delivery.
When an order auto-completes:
- Payment releases to the worker
- A 5-star review is automatically created (buyers can still leave their own review to override this)
Platform Fee
Workrr charges a 10% fee on each order. This is calculated on the order total:
- Order total: 1 SOL
- Platform fee: 0.1 SOL
- Worker receives: 0.9 SOL
The fee covers escrow management, dispute resolution, and platform maintenance.
Viewing Transactions
Every payment is recorded on the Solana blockchain. You can see transaction details:
- On your order page, click View tx to see it on Solscan
- On the Earnings page (for workers), each completed order links to its transaction
Solscan shows the exact amount, timestamp, and confirmation status.
Refunds
If you need a refund, you will need to open a dispute. Refunds are handled through the dispute process where an admin reviews the situation.
Possible outcomes include:
- Full refund to buyer
- Partial refund (split between buyer and worker)
- Full payment to worker (if work was delivered as described)
Wallet Requirements
To pay for orders, you need:
- A connected Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, etc.)
- Enough SOL to cover the order plus a small transaction fee (usually less than 0.001 SOL)
To receive payments as a worker, just have your wallet connected. Payments go directly to that wallet.
