Payment & Dispute Protection
LxCreators is currently in public beta. Unless the checkout explicitly states otherwise, displayed funding and payouts are simulations and no real money moves through those beta controls.
Planned commercial protection
Before live payments launch, the product should use a regulated payment provider, hold campaign funds before work starts, release creator payouts after approval, support refunds and disputes, maintain transaction records and complete required creator/client verification.
Current beta workflow
Clients select creators, creators accept offers, the client secures the budget in beta, creators deliver through the job room, and the client either approves or opens a dispute. Admin dispute resolution can release or refund the simulated payout state.
Do not send off-platform payment
Until live payment protection is enabled, users should not treat the beta funding indicator as proof that funds are held by LxCreators.
