The delivery is finished. The payment is not.
You've posted the content, replied to the community, and sent the monthly report. The work is done and delivered. Now the invoice has to cross a border, and that is where a simple monthly retainer becomes a recurring problem.
Your client in the US wants to pay a domestic invoice. Their accounts payable team expects a W-9, an ACH transfer, and a bank account in the United States. You are outside the US, so you either set up a US entity, use a marketplace that takes a cut, or ask your client to send an international wire each month.
For a social media manager, the same invoice repeats every month. If the payment route is awkward once, it is awkward twelve times a year.
The invoice that looks local to your client
PANORAMA payments changes where the invoice comes from. You register, verify your identity once, and describe the client and the work. Then the invoice is issued by a US company on your behalf.
Your client pays that invoice like any other domestic bill: by ACH or wire, in US dollars, to a US bank. If their finance team asks, a W-9 is available. The client does not need to know anything about international payments.
The client does not have to be in the United States. The invoice can be issued in eleven currencies, and the US company receives the payment from a payer in any country that is not under sanctions. But the payment is always received as a domestic US payment.
What you hand over, and how you get paid
Your work does not change. You still deliver the content plan, the scheduled posts and stories, the community replies, and the monthly report. You set your own prices and your own schedule.
After the client pays, PANORAMA payments deducts one platform fee and sends the rest to you. Depending on your country, you can receive the money by bank transfer, SWIFT, SEPA, Wise, a local account, or in dollar-denominated digital assets. There is no monthly subscription, and nothing is charged before the client has paid.
You remain responsible for your own taxes. PANORAMA payments does not give tax advice and is not your employer. The money that reaches you is yours to report according to the rules where you live.
The monthly retainer problem, solved
Social media work is often billed as a monthly retainer: the same amount every month for continuing work. That means the same invoice twelve times a year. If your payment route requires your client to do something unusual, they have to do it twelve times.
With PANORAMA payments, the client's finance team sees the same kind of invoice they get from any US vendor. They can set up a recurring ACH payment and never think about it again. You receive the money in your own country, and the fee is only taken once, after the payment arrives.
For a fixed price project, the process is the same: issue the invoice through PANORAMA payments, and the client pays a US company. You then receive your payment at home.
