Biddaro Help Center

Biddaro operates on a bidding model — job posters publish their requirements and contractors compete by submitting their best bid. This drives competitive pricing and gives posters access to the right talent for every job.

6. 6You're ready to use the platform!

1. 1Go to Contracts in the sidebar to see all active and past contracts.
2. 2Click a contract to open its detail view — you'll see the agreed price, milestones, timeline, and contractor info.
3. 3As work progresses, the contractor will mark milestones as complete and upload proof of work.
4. 4You review the milestone evidence and either approve it (which releases payment) or request changes.
5. 5Once all milestones are approved, the contract is marked as complete and you can leave a review.

Instead of paying the full amount upfront, milestones let you split the project into deliverable stages. Each stage has its own payment amount. You only release payment after reviewing and approving the completed work for that stage.

• Why use milestones? They prevent disputes by tying payment to verified, completed work.
• Who sets milestones? Either party can propose milestones when setting up the contract.
• Can I add milestones mid-contract? Yes, both parties can agree to modify the milestone structure.
• What if I dispute a milestone? Use the Dispute feature to escalate to Biddaro's review team.
