From the world, to work in Nepal — every order protected by escrow
One country's talent, one marketplace. Escrow holds your money until you approve the work.

Held by Nepal Will Do until you approve the delivery. It releases to Sabin 6h later — never before.
A condensed view of the order workspace — the same stages, chips and escrow panel clients work in.
A client and a freelancer who have never met still have to exchange money and work. Escrow, a written scope, brief-based dispute resolution and verification you can't hand yourself are what make that trade safe — for both of them, on the very first order.
What gets posted

A vague sentence becomes a structured request freelancers can price.
Nepal Will Do reads the brief, drafts a real title, a deliverables checklist, and a budget range pulled from what the category actually charges. You edit every line before it posts.

The client pays into escrow up front — it releases when they approve.
The freelancer can see the money is real before starting; the client keeps it until the delivery is accepted. Neither side has to trust the other first.

Staff, on the brief
Three layers of protection, resolved on the written scope — not on volume.
Layer 0 locks the accepted scope. Layer 1 opens structured resolution between the two sides. Layer 2 is a staff verdict read against the brief and the delivery history.

“animate” never appears in the first title. Meaning found it.
Semantic matching finds the right gig even when your words don't match its title.
Every gig carries a meaning vector alongside the keyword index. When a result is found by meaning alone it is labelled an AI match, so you always know why it surfaced — and queries that find nothing are captured as real, unmet demand.

The verified phone is identity only — never a payout number, never public.
A one-time SMS check for freelancers, a gateway check on the payout number.
The SMS number proves identity and is never shown publicly or used for payouts. The payout number is verified by Hamro Pay itself. The Verified Company badge is issued by staff, by hand — no account can set it on itself.
Earnings

In escrow, cleared, paid out — three honest buckets, computed on the server.
The dashboard shows what is still held against the order, what has been released and is in flight to the gateway, and what actually landed. Withdrawals go to a Hamro Pay number you verified, or Western Union if you're working from outside Nepal.
How this marketplace runs
Most marketplaces try to be everyone's supply and everyone's demand at once. This one runs in a single direction on purpose — and that direction is the product, not a limitation we're working around.
Post a request or buy a fixed-price gig from wherever you are. Requirements, revisions, files and messages all live in the order workspace, so the work survives the time-zone gap instead of dying in an inbox.
Not an infinite global pool — one country's, on purpose. It stays legible: you are hiring from a market you can actually get to know. Every freelancer clears a one-time SMS identity check before they can publish a gig or place a bid.
A gig can be priced and quoted in USD as well as rupees, with the exchange rate locked at checkout so the number you agree to is the number you pay. Whatever the currency, it is held in escrow until you approve — and cleared earnings land in Nepal.
Checkout settles through Hamro Pay today, so paying from outside Nepal needs a Hamro Pay account. Card checkout for international clients is in progress — we'd rather tell you here than at the payment screen.
Both sides of the deal
Most people on Nepal Will Do eventually do both — hire for what they can't do, sell what they can.
Post a request or order a gig
Describe the job and take bids, or buy a fixed-price gig outright.
Fund the order
Pay once with Hamro Pay. The money sits in escrow, not in the freelancer's account.
Review the delivery
Ask for revisions if the brief was missed. Approve when it's right.
Release and rate
Approval pays the freelancer and posts your review to their profile.
Verify your phone
A one-time SMS check. It keeps throwaway accounts off the marketplace.
List gigs or bid on requests
Package your skills at a fixed price, or pitch on the request board.
Start knowing you'll be paid
You only begin once the client's money is already sitting in escrow.
Withdraw to Hamro Pay
Cleared earnings go to your verified Hamro Pay number, or Western Union.
For freelancers
You've done the unpaid version of this job before: deliver, then chase — and it gets worse the further away the client is. On Nepal Will Do the client funds escrow before you start, wherever in the world they are, so the only question left is whether you do the work — not whether you'll see the money.
How escrow works
Freelancing goes wrong at the same two moments: paying before the work exists, or working before the money exists. Escrow removes both.
Payment goes to Nepal Will Do through Hamro Pay — never straight to the freelancer. The freelancer can see the money is there before starting, so nobody works on a promise.
Requirements, revisions, files and messages all live in the order workspace. If anything is ever contested, the full history already exists.
Funds move only when the client approves. If the work misses the brief, either side opens a dispute and we mediate against what was actually agreed.
Disputes are mediated against the written brief and the delivery history — not against whoever complains loudest.
Request composer
Knowing what to ask for is half the job — and it's the half clients don't have. Type the brief however it comes out. Nepal Will Do turns it into a request freelancers can actually quote against: a real title, a deliverables checklist, and a budget range drawn from what that category actually charges.

When it goes wrong
Every marketplace can hold money. What decides whether you get treated fairly is what happens when two people disagree about whether the work is done.
It sits with Nepal Will Do from checkout until you approve. That's what makes every layer below enforceable — there's always something to give back.
Released on your approval
Nobody at Nepal Will Do can push it through for them.
Auto-approves after 3 days
So freelancers aren't held hostage by silence.
Frozen the moment you dispute
The clock stops and nothing moves until there's a verdict.
Most disputes are really scope arguments. So before the delivery clock starts, the freelancer has to press "I accept these requirements" — or bounce them back for clarification. Every later disagreement is judged against that one artifact.
If something's off, either side proposes a settlement — a partial refund, an extra revision, a deadline extension. One tap to accept. Most disagreements never need to go further than this.
The last resort, not the first move. Both sides file evidence against fixed deadlines, AI triages the file against the scope contract, and a human issues the verdict with a written rationale you can appeal.
Verdicts are written against the scope contract both sides accepted — and every one of them comes with a rationale you can appeal.
No scam, no leap of faith
The oldest freelancing scam is the one where the work gets delivered and the money never arrives. It works because the money never existed. Here it exists first, sits with Nepal Will Do, and moves on rules that neither side can quietly rewrite.
The order is paid into escrow first. Only then is the freelancer asked to accept the scope — so the work never begins on a promise, on either side.
Approval is the buying account's action. The order API refuses it from anyone else — not the freelancer, not support. Every staff override needs a written reason and lands in the order's own timeline.
If a client neither approves nor disputes, the platform approves for them after 3 days. Nobody gets to hold a freelancer's money hostage by going quiet.
The moment either side opens a dispute the order leaves the payout path entirely. Nothing moves until a written verdict lands — and the verdict is appealable.
It doesn't, and a payout speed you can't verify is the first thing a scam offers you. Approval starts a hold window, the hold releases the payout, and the gateway settles the transfer on its own clock. Slower than what you'll be promised elsewhere — and it is the actual behaviour, printed here, which you can watch happen step by step on the order page.
The hold and auto-approve windows are platform settings, and these figures are read live from the same config the order engine uses.
The real clock, end to end
You approve the delivery
T+0The only thing that starts the clock. Nothing before this moves a rupee.
The 6-hour hold window
T+6hA dispute filed inside this window stops the release outright.
Payout queued to Hamro Pay
T+1The transfer is handed to the gateway and settles on its clock — often same-day, up to T+1.
Before any of it: the money was already in escrow, and the freelancer could see it was. That is the part that stops the scam — not the speed of the last hop.
Fees
Clients pay a service fee on top of the freelancer's price. Freelancers are charged nothing and keep their full quote. There is no listing fee, no subscription, and no cut taken quietly at payout.
A worked example
The full quote, with 0% deducted. Checkout shows you this exact breakdown before you pay.
Escrow custody
We hold and reconcile the money through Hamro Pay for the life of the order.
Dispute adjudication
A human reads the file and writes a verdict when you can't agree. That costs real money to staff.
The request composer
AI turns rough briefs into quotable specs and prices them against real category data.
Verification
SMS identity checks and gateway-verified payout numbers, so the person you hire is a person.
Rates shown are today's platform defaults. Any change applies to future orders only, and the breakdown is always on the checkout screen before you pay.
For companies
A company account works both directions. Staff up for a sprint without a payroll line, or trade as a verified agency and let the escrow record do your sales for you.
Post one request, compare bids side by side, and chat before you commit. Every order is escrow-backed and every delivery is on the record — so procurement has a paper trail without you building one.
Trade under your company name with your logo, team size and website on the profile. Verified companies carry a badge we issue by hand — it can't be self-assigned, which is exactly why clients trust it.
Illustrative
Nepal Will Do is early. The accounts below are illustrative examples of the outcomes the escrow model is built to produce — not quotes from named customers.

“Payouts land in my Hamro Pay without me chasing anyone. I've been through one dispute and the mediation actually read the brief before deciding.”

FAQ
Still unsure about something? The answer is usually “the money stays in escrow until you say otherwise” — but here are the specifics.
When you order, you pay Nepal Will Do — not the freelancer. We hold the money while the work happens. It's released to the freelancer only when you approve the delivery. If you never approve and never dispute, the order auto-approves after 3 days so freelancers aren't left hanging indefinitely.
On approval. The funds move from escrow to the freelancer's Nepal Will Do balance, clear a short hold window, and then become withdrawable to their Hamro Pay number. Freelancers can see the money exists in escrow before they start work — that's the entire point.
Request a revision first — gigs include a set number. If that doesn't resolve it, open the Resolution Center and propose a settlement, like a partial refund. If you still can't agree, escalate to a formal dispute: both sides file evidence and a human issues a verdict against the scope contract you both accepted. Your money stays frozen in escrow the whole time.
Clients pay a 20% service fee on top of the freelancer's price. Freelancers are charged 0% — they keep their full quoted amount. The exact breakdown is always shown at checkout before you pay anything.
Yes — that's the whole design. The demand side is global and the freelancer side is Nepal. A gig can be priced and quoted in USD as well as rupees, with the exchange rate locked at checkout so the figure you agree to is the figure you pay, and every order is escrow-held either way. One thing we'd rather say here than at the payment screen: checkout currently settles through Hamro Pay, so funding an order needs a Hamro Pay account. Card checkout for international clients is in progress.
Cleared earnings withdraw to a Hamro Pay number you've verified through the gateway. Western Union is available as an alternative payout rail, with the fee and minimum shown upfront before you request it.
Only freelancers, and only once. A single SMS check is required before you can publish a gig or bid on a request — it's what keeps throwaway accounts from undercutting real freelancers. Clients can hire without it. The number you verify is used for identity only: never for payouts, and never shown on your public profile.
Post what you need from wherever you are and take bids from Nepal, or list your skills and get paid to your Hamro Pay. Either way, escrow holds the money until the work is approved.
