What are the benefits of using Cashfree to accept freelancer payments?

1. Easier Collection of Payments

Most freelancers in India are accepting payments via bank transfers. This is suboptimal because bank transfers are difficult and susceptible to manual input errors and delays. Using our Payment Links or Payment Forms products, you can set up reminders and a payments experience that is bound to make your business seem more professional and desirable.

2. Wider Selection of Methods

Many businesses and individuals using freelancers would like to pay via instruments such as corporate credit cards. As individuals, collecting these payments is impossible on such instruments. With Cashfree Payments, you can now collect payments from your customers using 150+ methods, including those favoured by international businesses.

3. Safety, Security, and Compliance

Our fully-secured checkout ensures complete safety and security for your customers, and they needn't be worried about their privacy. Additionally, for international payments, we will share an FIRC for compliance purposes.

4. Convenience and Customer Experience

Freelancers can configure terms and conditions as well as automated invoices to their customers to make the entire process convenient for themselves and for their customers.

Do I need to handle currency conversion?

No, you do not. With Cashfree Payments, you will receive your payments in INR in your settlement account with no additional charges or effort for currency conversion.

How long does settlement take?

With Cashfree Payments, you can have complete control over your settlements. While the default settlement cycle is 2 days, you can request instant or on-demand settlements to get your pending settlements deposited 15 minutes after the payment, or at the end of the day.
