What is the commission fee that I must pay as an advisor?

Upon the completion of a consultation session, we deduct 14% of the advisor’s payment as a commission. The commission is set based on the gross consultation fee.

I’m a client. Do I have to pay directly to iadwise too?

Nope. As a client, you only pay the advisor.

How do I get my advisor’s fee?

Upon the completion of a consultation session, the amount will be deducted immediately from the client, and the allocation and crediting of the payment to the advisor’s bank account will be made within 10 working days, without any additional intervention. In order to safeguard against possible misconduct, iadwise reserves the right to postpone the start of the transfer for 3 working days.

What do I need to know about payments?

Your payments, the bank card details and the information you have provided are secure.

Our partner is one of the largest online payment service providers in the US.

Any amounts that you have specified to cover consultation fees will only be placed under an authorization hold on your card. When requested to do so, we ask that you specify an amount that you think is sufficient for covering the fee of the consultation. Please provide an amount no less than the advisor’s minimum fee, if there is one.

At the end of the consultation session, only the actual fee of the consultation will be charged to your card. Any amount remaining under the authorization hold will be released.

Is my personal data handled safely in your application?

Our website is SSL certified. Your personal information, credit card transactions, data transfer and logins are not visible to third parties.

How does a consultation work?

After the first 30 seconds, the consultation fee (minimum fee or fee per minute) will be charged. The first 30 seconds is a grace period; if the advisor takes the call instead of refusing it (just to inform the client that they are currently unavailable) and only uses the first 30 seconds, then no money will be charged. This protects the clients.

The consultation can last as long as the parties wish, some of the available features are: camera, microphone muting, screen sharing, chat and file upload.

What is the Minimum fee?

It is set by the advisor for their consultation, charged from second 31 of the consultation session. This fee will be valid until the period proportional to the hourly fee is ended; it does not matter how long the conversation lasts. After this fee is exceeded, the hourly fee will apply.

For example: Hourly fee $60, Minimum fee: $10. In this case the minimum fee is enough for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, $1 will be charged.

What are special rates?

Special rate is a feature for the advisors during the consultation session. It can be used during the consultation session, if a specific issue comes up, or a process that requires a longer time investment from the advisor. The advisor can set a custom rate, which must be higher than the consultation fee. The custom rate is not added to the previous profit but it is the difference of the two sums.

The client can accept or refuse the special rate. When the client accepts it, the timer stops and the consultation session can last as long as the parties wish with no further costs involved for the client.

As a consultant, how do I set a price when responding to questions multiple times outside of a consultation?

The client's problem may not be resolved during the consultation or requires additional follow-up. If that is the case, then there is a solution.

It is possible to add a one-time fee for a given task.

You can discuss the cost of the consultation with your customer depending on the nature of the issue. For a follow-up session, you can provide a one-time price prior to the session.

It must be accepted by the customer and paid immediately as the responses to the questions asked will not be given separately. This allows you to give advice on complex cases that require further sessions.

Do I have to register as a company or as an individual?

That's up to you. When registering as an individual or as a company, you have to enter your details in the Bank Details section. It is up to the account owner to determine where the fees will be paid to.

What are tags used for?

Tags are important keywords that summarize your qualification and experience. They help customers to find you easier. Tags are keywords about your expertise and advisory fields. We strongly recommend to add them as they are an important part of your profile.

Am I required to sign a separate contract with iadwise as an advisor?

No, it is not required. Simply register, create your profile, and agree to the Terms of Use upon registration.

Does iadwise require a professional certificate, degree, or other similar documents to register?

It is not necessary to upload a professional certificate, diploma, or other sensitive info for registering a public profile, but for an attractive profile, some information is necessary and useful for gaining customer confidence.
