Clients/companies first need to sign up for HireGlobal to make payments via TopTracker.

For clients:

1. Set up HireGlobal payments

• Start by providing your contact and billing details and your preferred payment method (ACH, Debit/credit card or Bank Wire transfer).

2. Enable HireGlobal payments on your projects

• On any new or existing TopTracker project, enable HireGlobal payments. Workers will track time directly in TopTracker.

3. Approve timesheets and pay one invoice

• Once you approve your workers timesheets, you will pay them via HireGlobal payments for a 2% fee, all from one invoice.

Invoicing occurs within one business day after the timesheets are approved, and HireGlobal issues payments to freelancers within 48 hours after HireGlobal receives payment from clients.

For freelancers:


Simply submit your timesheets in TopTracker for approval. Payment is processed within 48 hours of when the client pays the platform, and arrival is dependent on individual payment methods.

As an integrated global payments service, you never have to leave the platform. Process payments confidently in 180+ countries and track them, with an overview of budget and actual spend across everyone you hire. It is built on Toptal's payroll and payments infrastructure, refined over a decade, which has processed over $5 billion.

You will pay just 2% when sending money globally, plus any credit card or other fees depending on your bank or card provider.

Once you have enabled HireGlobal payments, you invite freelancers to HireGlobal and create a project in TopTracker. Freelancers submit timesheets for approval and HireGlobal notifies you to approve them. An invoice is issued within one business day of approval, and freelancers are paid within 48 hours of HireGlobal receiving your payment.
