If your contract is a milestone contract, your pay is tied to delivering specific outcomes. You submit each milestone when the work is done, your employer reviews it, and once approved, the payment credits to your Shor account.

​
Where Milestones Live

Milestones are part of the contract itself, not a standalone tab. To see or submit one:
  1. Go to Contracts on your dashboard
  2. Open the contract in question
  3. Scroll to the Milestones section
Each milestone shows its title, description, deliverable, amount, target date (if set), and current status.

Milestone Statuses

​
Submitting a Milestone

1

Open the Milestone

From the contract page, find the milestone you want to submit and click into it.
2

Attach Your Deliverables

Add anything that proves the work is done: files, links, notes, screenshots. Be specific so the employer can review quickly.
3

Click Submit for Review

The milestone moves to Submitted and your employer gets a notification. You’ll see the status change in real time.

​
What Happens After Submission

Your employer reviews the deliverable and either:
  • Approves it: the milestone moves to approved, the payment is queued, and credits to your Shor account once processed.
  • Rejects it: the milestone comes back with a rejection reason. You can update the deliverable based on the feedback and resubmit without any penalty or delay.
You’ll get an email either way.

​
If a Milestone Is Rejected

Rejection isn’t a failure; it’s just “not done yet.” The rejection note from your employer tells you what’s missing. Revise the deliverable, replace the attachments, and click Submit for Review again. The status moves back to Submitted and review starts over.

​
Getting Paid

Once the milestone is Approved, the payment follows the contract’s payment terms. It shows up in:
  • Finance → Payments: with status Processing then Completed
  • Finance → Accounts: your balance goes up in the contract’s currency
  • Finance → Transactions: the full record of money movement
From there, you withdraw to your bank like any other payment. See Your Shor Account & Withdrawals.

​
Tips

The faster your employer can confirm “yes, this is done,” the faster you get paid. Links to finished work, before/after screenshots, or a short summary of what changed all help.
If a milestone is defined as “Phase 1 complete with signoff from the team,” don’t submit when only you think it’s done. Wait for the team’s signoff; otherwise it bounces back.
If anything about the deliverable needs explanation (scope changes, dependencies, anything unusual) add it as a note when you submit. Saves a back-and-forth.
If the scope has shifted and the original milestone doesn’t quite apply anymore, message your employer from the contract page. Adding or amending a milestone requires a contract amendment both sides sign.
