How Open Source Maintainers get paid (in practice)

Most payment delays aren’t about the work quality—they’re about unclear payment steps. A clean workflow makes “pay now” the default next action.

The old workflow

  1. Deliver
  2. Invoice
  3. Wait
  4. Follow up

The modern workflow (payment requests)

  1. Deliver the milestone
  2. Send a payment request link
  3. Client pays (or forwards internally)

Example deliverables

  • Sponsorship / recurring support
  • Paid support contract
  • Security fix / patch bounty
  • Priority issue resolution

Using Gitpay

Create a payment request, share the link, and receive payment online:
