💰Understanding Payment Processes at Apshan

At Apshan, our focus is on building and nurturing connections within the fashion industry. We bring together top talents and clients, facilitating opportunities for collaboration. It's important to note that payment transactions are not handled directly through our platform. Here's what you need to know:

Payment Handling: Outside the Platform

WE DO NOT HANDLE PAYMENTS

Apshan does not directly manage payment transactions between clients and talents. All financial agreements and transactions are to be conducted independently outside our platform.

Best Practices for Payment

As a talent on Apshan, it is crucial to establish clear payment terms with clients.

Here are some recommended methods:

• Milestones: Agree on payments upon completing specific milestones. This method ensures regular payment and aligns with project progress.

• Periodic Payments: Set up a schedule for periodic payments (e.g., weekly, bi-weekly, monthly) especially for long-term projects.

• Project Completion: For shorter projects, consider full payment upon project completion.

• Advance Payment: Negotiate an advance payment before starting the project, with the balance due upon completion.

Payment Functionality Coming Soon

We are exploring the development of an integrated payment functionality on our platform. This will streamline the payment process, making transactions smoother and more secure. However, due to technical and operational considerations, this feature will take some time to implement.

Staying Informed and Secure

• Clear Contracts: Always have a written agreement or contract outlining the payment terms.

• Payment Verification: Use trusted payment methods and verify all transactions.

• Stay Alert: Be cautious of any unusual payment requests or methods.

While Apshan is committed to creating valuable connections in the fashion industry, we remind our talents and clients to exercise due diligence in handling payments. We look forward to bringing more functionalities to our platform in the future to enhance your experience.
