Ask How do freelance platforms handle payment when the job currency is different from the freelancer country currency?

[Edward22]

This is something that affects a lot of freelancers who work with clients from different parts of the world. A job might be priced in dollars or euros, but the freelancer lives in a country where the local currency is very different in value. The platform usually handles conversion, but it is not always clear what rate they use or how much gets lost in the process. Some freelancers feel they are losing money through conversion fees without fully understanding how it works. How do platforms explain this in their payment terms?
