The money's
already there.

If the work is delivered as a file, OnceSwap holds the payment until it's approved.

Why OnceSwap
10%
Fee, capped

Charged to you, never your client — capped at 3300.00 SEK. Minimum project 550.00 SEK. Your client pays exactly the quoted amount.

72 hrs
Review clock

Silence releases your payment. Delay is no longer a negotiating tactic.

Every job
Recorded on completion

Every step is written to a hash-chained ledger that cannot be quietly revised — by us or anyone. Your track record becomes evidence.

Fraud and disputes

Both sides are protected. Both sides are accountable.

Holding the money is only half of it. A client who pays for work that never arrives needs a way out, and a freelancer who delivered properly needs to be paid without argument. So the rules are written down, applied the same way every time, and recorded permanently.

The preview and the final are compared

A dispute asks one narrow question: does what the client received match the preview files and the project description? That is a factual comparison, not an opinion about taste.

24 hours to answer

A freelancer whose work is disputed is asked to explain, and has 24 hours. An honest mistake has a route back: post a deposit, upload the correct files, and the client reviews them normally. Silence ends it — the client is refunded automatically.

Deliberate misdelivery ends the account

Where the delivered work does not match what was promised and no credible explanation is given, the client is refunded in full and the account is permanently suspended. The finding stays in the record.

The record cannot be quietly revised

Every step — delivery, file hashes, the dispute, the ruling — is written to a hash-chained ledger that neither party nor OnceSwap can alter after the fact. Both sides can download and verify their own copy.

Deposits exist to make disputes serious rather than free, and OnceSwap keeps none of them in either direction. The full rules are in the payment terms.
