You're great at what you do. The business side is the part that drains you.
- Clients ghost on payments and you end up chasing invoices on Venmo.
- Contracts are a Word doc you keep meaning to update.
- January rolls around and tax forms are a scramble.
- You don't have one place to send people who want to book you.
PayWelly fixes the parts of running a business that you didn't sign up for — so you can focus on the work you actually want to do.
Your shareable profile.
Every pro on PayWelly gets a public page at paywelly.com/@yourname. List your services, set your rates, show your work. Then share the link wherever your clients already find you.
Instagram or TikTok bio — replace your generic link with one that actually books work.
DMs and texts — when someone asks "how much?", send the link instead of typing it out.
Email signature — every email becomes a soft sales pitch.
Word of mouth — referrals can book you without a phone call.
Your profile shows your services, rates, reviews, and a Send Contract button. Clients can book you in a few taps.
Up to 12 services. Each with its own price.
Photography, videography, event coverage, headshots — list each as a separate service with its own rate. Charge $200/hr for studio sessions, $1,500 flat for a wedding day, $50/hr for behind-the-scenes b-roll. Same profile. One booking flow.
Hourly or flat. Public or private. You decide what shows on your page. Clients tap the service they want, and the contract pre-fills with that rate.
From DM to deposit in five minutes.
Step 1: Someone clicks your link.
They land on your profile.
Step 2: They pick a service and send a contract.
Pre-filled with your rate, scope, and dates.
Step 3: You both sign.
The contract is per-engagement and stored in both your vaults.
Step 4: They fund the engagement.
The money sits in escrow — guaranteed before you start.
Step 5: You do the work.
Off-platform. Your way, your tools, your hours.
Step 6: You mark it complete.
Funds release same-day (or automatically in 24 hours).
You never ask for payment again. The contract and the money are handled before the first minute of work.
Charge what your hours are worth.
Friday night isn't Tuesday morning. Open your availability grid, mark peak hours, and PayWelly charges your surge rate automatically — no client conversation, no awkward invoice line. Set your peak. Get paid your peak.
Top row: weekdays. Bottom row: nights. Highlighted cells are your peak — $350/hr fires automatically when a client books Fri–Sun night.
Get paid the day you finish.
When the engagement is marked complete, your payout is on its way the same day. Need it faster? Same-day instant payout to an external debit card lands in under 30 minutes for a 3% contractor-side fee (Stripe Instant Payouts, passed through). Standard ACH (1–3 business days) is free.
No 30-day net terms. No chasing. No awkward follow-up texts.
W-9 once. 1099 at year-end. Done.
PayWelly collects your W-9 when you set up payouts (through Stripe).
At year-end, you get a Form 1099-NEC automatically for any year you earn $2,000 or more across all your engagements.
Your YTD earnings are right there in your dashboard so there are no surprises in January.
You always receive 100%. The client pays the fee.
The fee shape depends on where the booking came from. Either way, your paycheck is your full engagement pay — no deduction from the contractor side.
Booked from your public profile
15%
When a client lands on your paywelly.com/@yourname page and sends you a contract, PayWelly takes a 15% commission on the engagement pay. No platform fee.
Marketplace + corporate hires
$19.99 + 15%
When a business posts a contract on PayWelly and accepts you, a $19.99 platform fee plus 15% commission is charged to them. You still receive 100% of engagement pay.
