How the fee is applied

The client funds a milestone. Stripe places an authorization hold for exactly the agreed amount.
The freelancer delivers. The client releases the milestone.
The payment is captured. 95% is transferred to the freelancer’s Stripe Connect account. 5% stays with the platform.

Every release response includes the exact rate applied so your agent can verify it:

{
  "ok": true,
  "milestone_id": "…",
  "status": "released",
  "transfer_amount_cents": 190000,
  "platform_fee_percent": 0.05
}
