Pay a talent and release funds
Escrow on the recruiter side: lock, deliverable validation, release, and disputes.
Meyandy locks your payment in escrow until you validate delivery. The talent is reassured; you stay in control.
When you accept an application, the mission budget + applicable Meyandy commission is calculated. Example:
- Mission budget: 100,000 FCFA
- Commission (10%): already included — you pay 100,000 FCFA, talent gets 90,000 FCFA
You're redirected to Swychr to pay via Mobile Money or card. The amount is locked on a Meyandy escrow account.
During execution, you can:
- Chat
- Request checkpoints
- Cancel by mutual agreement (refund after 10% deduction)
Visible statuses:
- In progress: talent is working
- Awaiting validation: deliverable sent
- Validated: funds released
When the talent clicks Deliver, you get a notification + email. On the mission page:
- Review the attached deliverables (files, URLs, messages)
- If compliant → click Validate delivery
- If adjustments needed → click Request changes with a precise comment
You have 7 days to validate. Past that, the mission is auto-validated (talent protection).
After validation, you're invited to leave a rating (1 to 5 stars) + an optional public comment.
Your rating contributes to the talent's reputation and helps them land more missions. Talents rated 4.5+ get a Top talent badge.
If the deliverable is far from the brief and the talent refuses to fix:
- Click Open dispute (bottom of the mission page)
- Precisely describe the gaps with evidence (screenshots, messages)
- A Meyandy moderator reviews within 72h
Possible outcomes: full release, partial, or refund. The decision is final.
