Please click on the link to open the sign-up page and enter your email:

→ Create a Freelancer’s Personal Account

Our service will email you your confirmation URL. Click on it and set your password in the form that pops up.

As soon as you save the password, your personal account page will open. Please input your details. To open the details page, click on the line with your email.

In the new window that opens, go to the Details tab, click Edit in the upper right corner, and enter your data.

The mandatory fields are marked with red asterisks. Once you enter all the details, click Save in the upper right corner.

Next, you need to validate your details in the system. Click on the Verification tab and choose where you want to continue—your phone or PC.

Once you select an appropriate verification option, the service will automatically fetch your profile details to the next window—Personal Data. If not, please refresh the page.

Have your identity document ready for verification, read the rules carefully, and click OK, I got it.

An internal or international passport will work, as well as any other document from the list.

The service will offer 2 options for you to submit your passport: take a photo or upload its scan. If you have a passport photo on your PC, click on Upload photo and select the file.

Once the system accepts the photo, it will notify you that the verification has been successfully completed. Please wait for our service to complete the verification of your profile. It can take up to 24 hours. You will see your status changed to Verified in your personal account.

Caution! If your passport is dog-eared, hard-to-scan, or hand-written, please use another identity document such as driver’s license or foreign passport to undergo the verification.

You can add details of your customer into the system while your account is not verified. However, you will not be able to issue an invoice until your account is Verified.

Once your personal account is successfully verified, the upper menu will show the new tab—Customers. Click on this tab, it is empty yet. To add a customer, click Add New.

A form will open where you need to fill in information about your customer. Save the data and the customer will be added.

You may add all the customers you have business with. Please note that your customers must be legal entities: an individual entrepreneur or an incorporated company. Otherwise, the system will not issue an invoice. Also please note that if your invoice details differ from those of the payers, the payment will be canceled and the funds will be returned.

Go to the Invoices section, click Add New.

A form opens for you to select a customer and service. Fill in all the fields, select the currency of the transfer, and click Save.

Once you save your new invoice, the order information appears in the Invoices section. It will show the amount to be paid by the customer and the amount you will ultimately receive.

Here is an example of the invoice that a freelancer sends to their customer's email:

A freelancer's fee is composed of two parts. The basic part is the commission that our service charges: 6% of the billed amount. Additional fees depend on the method you choose to withdraw your money—it is the one you specify in the Fees section. For example, if you choose to transfer your money to your MDL card, the charges will amount to 1.5% of the billed amount + EUR 0.5. You can see the final amount after subtracting all the charges in the AmountNet column.

Example: your customer pays your invoice of EUR 1,000. The service will subtract the basic commission of 6%, the additional charges of 1.5% of the billed amount, and the fee of EUR 0.5 (if you choose to be paid through MC\VISA). The resulting total will amount to EUR 924.5 converted to MDL.

Сlick Send to customer in the upper right corner to email your invoice to your customer.

Once your customer receives your invoice and pays, it may take up to 3 days for the money to be transferred to our EasyStaff account. After that your account balance with us will be topped up.

Your request for funds will stay in Operations -> Fund Requests tab until our service receives the payment.

Once it is received, the invoice moves to the Fundings tab.

Our service creates closing documents for your billed services. You can download the PDF file and use it for whatever (e.g. tax) purposes.

Here's an example of a freelancer's closing document:

Go to My profile. Here you will see the actual amount on your account balance with our service. To withdraw it, click Balance payout.

Our service will verify the request to transfer money to your card, account, or wallet. Until verified, the request can be found on the Operations -> Payout Requests tab in the Request status.

Once the transfer is made to your account, you will see it on the Payouts tab.

When your request changes its status to Payouts, it means that our service has withdrawn your payment.

We apply the rate offered by Profinance to convert funds before withdrawing them to cards, without conversion fees.
