How payment system for micro jobs between employer and freelancer work in WorkScout?

Each order is tracked in WordPress Dashboard → Commissions, showing how much to transfer to the listing owner. As the admin, you receive payments from employers on behalf of freelancers unless you configure Stripe Split Payments.

As an site administrator you can take fee from each micro job.
For an example: If an employer posts a micro job like “WordPress Theme Installation” for $100 and hires a freelancer, a commission e.g. 10% fee ($10) goes to you. The remaining $90 is paid to the freelancer upon completion of the job/service.

You can set commissions rate in Dashboard → WorkScout Core → Projects and Wallets 

Payouts can be managed in Dashboard → Commissions.

By clicking “Make Payout” button you will be redirected to the page with unpaid orders summary. After making payout orders you will be redirected to next page with payout summary/withdrawal details. All orders will be marked as “processed” in listing owner’s “Wallet” page and his “Withdrawable Balance” counter will be reset.

You browse payouts history and check details of each payout in Commissions → Payouts History

Payment method chosen by listing owner will be visible above commissions table. Money transfer has to be done manually by the site administrator.


Freelancers have an additional “Wallet” page in the dashboard where they can check summary of their earnings from micro jobs, payouts history and set payout method.
If you don’t see “Wallet” page make sure it’s created with [wallet] shortcode and assigned in WorkScout Core → Pages.

Custom Commission

You can individually modify commission for each user by editing user details in WordPress Admin → Users
