What are bonuses?

Bonuses are optional payments clients can send to freelancers to recognize exceptional work.

How do I receive a bonus?

After a project is completed, clients receive an email reminder and an in-app notification prompting them to leave a recommendation. At that time, they can also choose to send a bonus.

If a client sends you a bonus, the amount is added directly to your Contra wallet once processed. You’ll also receive an email notification.

Important details about bonuses

  • Bonuses are optional. Clients are not required to send one.

  • Contra does not take a commission on bonuses. You receive the full amount sent.

  • Payment processing fees from our third-party provider may apply.

  • Bonuses can only be sent for completed projects. You cannot receive bonuses for one-off invoices, digital products, or payment links.
