Getting Paid (For STUDENTS)

Everything you need to know about getting paid from GIGs. Once you get accepted to your first GIG, you will be prompted to connect your banking information through the Stripe platform in order to get paid.

⌚ How long does it take to get paid?

Within your GIG Workspace, you will see when you are scheduled to be paid.

Granted you complete all mandatory tasks and submit all content, that is the day the payment will be released. It can take up to 3-4 more business days for the payment to be reflected on your account depending on your financial institution.
