We design this platform to promote transparent and straightforward hiring process, we prioritise direct visibility and communication over algorithm-driven matching
Do I need to pay to use the platform?
For details about any applicable fees, please refer to our Terms & Conditions, where all pricing and usage policies are clearly outlined.
Can I work with international clients?
Yes, VirtualMasst allows users to post jobs from anywhere in the world, so you can work with international clients if you meet their requirements. However, our primary focus is on connecting freelancers and companies with local clients to simplify the payment process and ensure smoother transactions; especially in Europe.
How do I get paid?VirtualMasst enables secure payment collection via Stripe Connect Express, acting solely on behalf of Independent freelancers.
To receive payments, every independent freelancer must first complete their Stripe Connect onboarding, which includes a mandatory Know Your Customer (KYC) verification. This is a legal requirement to ensure secure, compliant payments within the EU and beyond. For full details on payout timelines, conditions, and responsibilities, please refer to our Terms & Conditions
💡 You must complete the Stripe KYC process before you can receive any funds. Delays or incomplete details may prevent payouts.
Is there a commission fee on my earnings?
For details about any applicable fees, please refer to our Terms & Conditions, where all pricing and usage policies are clearly outlined.
What happens if a client doesn’t pay?
All payments are made upfront through our escrow-like structure, powered by Stripe. Enterprises must fund the full project—or each milestone—before any work begins. This eliminates late payments and protects Independent freelancers from unpaid work. Funds are held and released by Stripe, a regulated payment institution. VirtualMasst does not hold or control funds at any point.
It is extremely important to never accept contracts or payments outside of the VirtualMasst platform. Doing so bypasses our escrow system and eliminates all protections we provide. If you're hired outside the platform as a freelancer, you do so at your own risk, especially if there’s no formal agreement or secured payment in place. In such cases, VirtualMasst cannot guarantee payment.
How do I build my reputation on the platform?
To establish yourself as a trusted professional, consistently deliver high-quality work that meets or exceeds client expectations. Be proactive in asking satisfied clients to leave honest reviews, as positive feedback enhances your visibility and credibility. Maintain clear, professional, and timely communication throughout each project—this shows reliability and builds client trust. Meet deadlines, be open to constructive feedback, and handle revisions gracefully. Over time, your commitment to excellence and professionalism will help you stand out and get you hired.
Do I need to send an invoice for payment?
No, you don't need to send an invoice directly to the client via email or outside the platform. vMasst platform is powered by Stripe Connect, and all payments are handled securely through our system.
Once a job is completed, approved and fund released by the hiring person, Stripe automatically triggers the payout to your connected account, based on your completed profile and KYC verification.
However, you are responsible for your own accounting and taxation as an independent freelancer, so you may still need to generate your own records for tax authorities.
Please refer to our Terms & Conditions for full details on payments and invoicing requirements.

What types of working arrangements can I have with freelancers?
You can choose from several working arrangements depending on your project requirements and operational setup. If you're open to collaborating with independent freelancers across borders or prefer local professionals for in-person work, vMasst accommodates both.
Remote work: this arrangement allows freelancers to contribute from any location. It's well-suited for businesses seeking flexibility, specialised skills, or support beyond their immediate area.
On-site engagements: If your business has a physical office, you can connect with freelancers in your region who are open to working on-site. This is ideal for roles that benefit from direct collaboration or access to in-house resources.
Hybrid arrangements: a combination of remote and in-person work, suitable when proximity allows. Hybrid setups work well for businesses that value occasional face-to-face interaction while maintaining flexibility.
One-time projects are best for short-term assignments with clearly defined outcomes. This option is efficient for businesses needing focused input without long-term commitment.
Ongoing or long-term collaborations: are recommended for sustained support or evolving projects. This arrangement fosters continuity and deeper integration with your team.
How do I pay freelancers?
All payments are made upfront through our escrow-like structure, powered by Stripe. Enterprises must fund the full project—or each milestone—before any work begins. This eliminates late payments and protects Independent freelancers from unpaid work. Funds are held and released by Stripe, a regulated payment institution. VirtualMasst does not hold or control funds at any point.
Once you select a freelancer and both parties agree to the terms (hourly or fixed rate), you’ll be required to fund the mission upfront. The funds are held safely in escrow until the work is completed and approved.
Only then is the payment released to the freelancer.
Key points:
-
You do not pay the freelancer directly.
-
You fund the mission via the platform using a valid payment method.
-
All transactions are securely handled through Stripe and fully transparent.
-
You will receive a payment confirmation and invoice for your own accounting records.
-
For full payment procedures, including refunds and processing times, refer to our Terms & Conditions
What if I'm not satisfied with the work?
If you're dissatisfied with the outcome of a mission, we encourage both parties to first resolve the issue through direct, respectful communication. Clients should document specific concerns—such as missed deliverables, delays, or quality issues—and share them with the freelancer to allow for correction before milestone approval.
If no resolution is reached and the milestone remains unapproved, the client may:
Request a refund (partial or full), depending on the progress made and the nature of the issue
Reassign the task to another freelancer at their discretion
Refunds are not automatic. Each request is reviewed by VirtualMasst on a case-by-case basis. As outlined in our Terms of Use, we reserve the right to determine refund eligibility and amount after reviewing the context, communication history, and supporting materials from both parties.
⚠️ Important Notes:
-
Funds are held in escrow by Stripe, a regulated payment institution. VirtualMasst does not hold or control funds.
-
In case of a dispute, funds remain in escrow until both parties reach an agreement.
-
If no agreement is reached within three (3) months after the freelancer has completed or stopped their services, the funds will be released to the Enterprise—unless an advance payment was agreed, in which case the advance is paid to the freelancer.
-
Once a milestone is approved, the funds are released and cannot be reversed.
-
VirtualMasst is not liable for any arrangements or outcomes that occur outside the platform.
