Getting Paid Shouldn’t Be the Hardest Part of the Job

Let’s be real: if you work in the service industry, you’ve probably been stiffed at least once.

The project’s done. The client’s thrilled. You send the invoice… and then? Crickets.

You follow up. Once. Twice. A third time, maybe with a slightly more annoyed tone. Still nothing. Suddenly, you’re not just out of money, you’re out of time, energy, and trust.

The Worst Part? It Happens Way Too Often

It’s not just the random clients off the internet either. I’ve had this happen with referrals, the “safe” ones, the ones people vouch for. And honestly, they’ve turned out to be some of the hardest to collect from.

I’d hear things like, “Don’t worry, they always pay.” Cool. But when? And why do I have to beg for it?

Eventually, I got tired of playing the polite follow-up game. I started taking prepayments through credit card just to protect myself. It worked… until it didn’t.

Suddenly, it’s tax season, I’m drowning in work, and I get slammed with chargebacks. Now I’m the one having to prove I actually did the job — while also trying to meet deadlines. It was exhausting, demoralizing, and made me question why I was even doing this in the first place.

And I know I’m not the only one. Designers. Developers. Consultants. Accountants. Marketers. We’ve all been there — doing solid work and crossing our fingers that the client actually follows through.

That’s not how a business should run.

So I Built Something Better

I created SafePay because I was done gambling on getting paid.

Here’s the deal:

• Clients fund the project upfront (before you start anything).

• That money sits in escrow — safe and untouched.

• Once the job’s done and both sides say so, the funds are released.

• Got a disagreement? No need for courtrooms. We have built-in dispute resolution that’s quick, fair, and doesn’t cost a fortune.

No more awkward follow-ups. No more chargeback headaches. Just clarity and confidence for both sides.

SafePay is for service providers who are serious about their work — and expect the same from their clients. It's not just a payment tool. It's a signal that says, "We’re professionals here."

If you’re tired of writing off invoices, chasing down payments, or hoping this time will be different — it’s time to stop hoping and start protecting yourself.

Let’s make getting paid the easiest part of doing great work.
