Hand over the work. Get it signed off. Get paid.
Handoff is the transmittal slip for freelance work: deliver files, collect approvals with comments, and invoice through Stripe, all in one portal your client actually opens.

How a handoff moves
Like a routing slip: every project passes the same four desks, and everyone can see whose desk it is on.
| Stage | From | To | What happens |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deliver | You | Client | Upload the files to the project. Your client gets an email with a private link, not an attachment. |
| Review | Client | You | They approve, or request changes with a comment pinned to the exact file. |
| Invoice | You | Client | Bill from the same project. Stripe takes the card; nobody hunts for bank details. |
| Paid | Stripe | Both | The invoice stamps itself paid. Overdue ones get a polite reminder every morning. |

The invoice lives next to the work it bills for.
Your client approves the files, then pays from the same page. Stripe handles the card, the invoice marks itself paid, and late ones get a reminder at 9am without you writing the awkward email.
- Clients see only their own work
- Each client signs in to a portal scoped to their projects. Nothing else is visible to them.
- Files stay private
- Deliverables are stored privately and opened through short-lived signed links.
- A status line that answers itself
- Your client can ask “where are we?” and get an answer built only from their own project data.
