Invoice American Clients for CAD Work and Get Paid at Home

You deliver drawings and models to a US firm. They need a W-9 before they can pay a vendor line. PANORAMA payments gives you a US company that issues the invoice, so your client pays by ACH or wire like any domestic vendor, and you receive the money in your own country through your bank or digital assets, minus one platform fee.

Invoice American Clients for CAD Work and Get Paid at Home

What this looks like for you

As a CAD designer, you deliver drawings and models that become part of someone else's building or product. Your invoices list tracked hours, a fixed price for a defined piece, or a stage payment for a BIM model. PANORAMA payments turns those invoices into domestic US payments: the client gets a W-9 if they ask, pays by ACH or wire to a US bank, and you get paid at home in your own currency. No monthly fees, nothing charged until the client pays, and one platform fee deducted from the payment. You keep the client relationship and the design work; we handle the vendor paperwork.

What your client receives

An example line, not a real invoice. Your own wording, amounts and currency go on the document itself.

The W-9 Wall for Outside Drafting

You deliver a BIM model, a set of shop drawings, or a package for permits. The client likes the work and wants to pay. Then their accounts payable team sends you a vendor form and asks for a W-9. If you are outside the United States, you do not have one. The project budget has a line for outside drafting, but that line cannot be filled without the right tax paperwork.

PANORAMA payments changes that conversation. Instead of you trying to become a US vendor, the invoice comes from a US company. Your client deals with a domestic entity, pays by ACH or wire to a US bank, and can request a W-9 like they would from any American supplier. You stay focused on the next drawing set.

Invoicing with a US Company Behind You

To start, you register and verify your identity once. Then you describe the client and the work: a fixed price for a defined piece, a fixed price split across stages, or tracked hours billed weekly or monthly. That detail goes into the invoice just as you would write it yourself.

The invoice is issued by a US company, but the client does not have to be American. You can invoice a company or a private individual in any country that is not under sanctions. The invoice can be in US dollars, euros, pounds sterling, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, Swiss francs, or five other currencies. Whatever the currency on paper, the money is received by the US company and then paid out to you.

Getting Paid at Home, on Your Terms

After the client pays, PANORAMA deducts one platform fee. There is no monthly subscription and nothing is charged before the client has paid. You receive the rest in your own country through the method that works for you: a bank transfer, SWIFT, SEPA, Wise, a local account, or dollar-denominated digital assets, depending on where you live.

That means when you finish a stage of a BIM model or complete a set of manufacturing files, you are not waiting on an international wire that might get lost in compliance. The payment arrives the way you normally get paid at home, so you can move to the next project.

Your Taxes, Your Business

PANORAMA payments is not your employer and it does not give tax advice. Using a US company to collect the payment does not change your tax obligations at home. You remain responsible for reporting your income and paying whatever taxes apply in your country.

That separation keeps things simple. PANORAMA handles the invoicing and the payment collection. You handle the design work and your own accounting. No one is asking you to become a US taxpayer or to fill out forms meant for American residents.

How you get paid

  1. 1
    Register and verify once

    An identity document and a photograph. It is done once, and it has to be finished before the first payout rather than on the day you are waiting for money.

  2. 2
    Describe the client and the work

    Who they are, what was agreed, the amount and the currency. The client and their country are screened before anything is sent, so a payment is not refused after the work is delivered.

  3. 3
    The invoice goes out from a US company

    Your client receives an invoice from a United States supplier, with US banking details and IRS Form W-9 on request. They pay by ACH or wire, domestically.

  4. 4
    You are paid where you live

    One platform fee is deducted and the rest is sent to you by whichever route works in your country: bank transfer, SWIFT, SEPA, Wise, a local account, or dollar-denominated digital assets.

One platform fee of 10% is deducted when you are paid. No subscription, no signup fee, and nothing is charged until your client has paid.

Questions people in this trade ask

Do I need a US tax ID to work with American clients?

No. PANORAMA payments uses a US company to issue the invoice, so your client receives a standard domestic invoice and can request a W-9 if their accounts payable requires it. You do not need to register for a US tax ID or file anything in the United States.

Can I invoice in euros or pounds, not just dollars?

Yes. The invoice can be issued in eleven currencies, including US dollars, euros, pounds sterling, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, and Swiss francs. The client pays that amount, and PANORAMA receives the funds in the US before paying you in your own country.

How do I receive the money after the client pays?

After the client pays, PANORAMA deducts one platform fee and sends the rest to you through the method available in your country: bank transfer, SWIFT, SEPA, Wise, a local account, or dollar-denominated digital assets. You choose what works for you.

Does my client need to sign up for anything?

No. Your client simply receives an invoice from a US company and pays it by ACH or wire to a US bank, the same way they would pay any domestic vendor. They can request a W-9 if needed, but there is no onboarding or account creation for them.

What happens if my client pays late or the project changes scope?

PANORAMA does not get involved in your client relationship. You agree on the terms with your client: tracked hours, a fixed price, or stage payments. The invoice reflects what you and the client agreed. If the scope changes, you issue a new invoice for the additional work.
