--- title: Paying a Creator for an Already Completed Project description: This article explains how to pay a creator for a project that has already been completed outside the typical workflow. Clients can quickly submit payment by creating a new project via the +New → Project option, available only for creators they’ve previously worked with. The process includes entering key project details (title, services, deliverables, and location), selecting whether expenses or add-ons are included, categorizing with cost and story codes, and providing feedback for the creator. Once submitted, the creator reviews and marks the project as complete, triggering payment through Kaynuna’s secure system. --- [Skip to content](https://help.kaynuna.me/paying-a-creator-for-an-already-completed-project#main-content) ![](https://help.kaynuna.me/hs-fs/hubfs/KAYNUNA-Wordmark-White-transparency-NO-padding.png?width=200&height=32&name=KAYNUNA-Wordmark-White-transparency-NO-padding.png) Open main navigation Close main navigation How can we help you today? - There are no suggestions because the search field is empty. 1.

You can do this by selecting **+New** and choosing **Project.** **NOTE:** This is only possible if you have worked with this creator in the past. #### **Overview** ![](https://help.kaynuna.me/hs-fs/hubfs/Rich%20Text%20Pasting/google-1752264857596-2.png?width=624&height=605&name=google-1752264857596-2.png) A new window will open which will take you through our New Project workflow. This will allow you to outline your already completed project by providing the title, services, project location, deliverables and any key dates that were relevant to your project. You can also tie this project to a Team if you have access to that feature. #### **Describe Your Project** ![](https://help.kaynuna.me/hs-fs/hubfs/Rich%20Text%20Pasting/google-1752264857596-1.png?width=624&height=401&name=google-1752264857596-1.png) This section lets you describe the project to provide your freelancer with a project overview. This message will be memorialized on the project page once it has been created. Once you’ve provided a well thought out description you can choose whether or not you’re ready to make an offer. Since this is for an already completed project, we’ll select that you’re **ready to make an offer.** #### **Add-ons & Your Offer** ![](https://help.kaynuna.me/hs-fs/hubfs/Rich%20Text%20Pasting/google-1752264857596-3.png?width=624&height=727&name=google-1752264857596-3.png) This section will prompt you to attach any project add-ons, so make sure to select these if you have agreed to cover things like creator expenses or fees. They will be reflected in your final payment to your creator, displayed after you type in your agreed upon offer. #### **Cost & Story Codes** ![](https://help.kaynuna.me/hs-fs/hubfs/Rich%20Text%20Pasting/google-1752264857596.png?width=624&height=319&name=google-1752264857596.png) Cost and Story codes allow you to categorize your projects. This can help ease the burdens of accounting, or make your projects generally easier to find for recordkeeping purposes. Cost Codes with Credits attached to them can also be used to pay for your project, which you can learn more about here. #### Creator Feedback ![](https://help.kaynuna.me/hs-fs/hubfs/Rich%20Text%20Pasting/google-1752264857596-4.png?width=624&height=372&name=google-1752264857596-4.png) Your final step involves leaving feedback for the creator involved in your project. It’s important to note that many clients consider this feedback in their hiring decisions, so please be honest and as thorough as possible. You might land someone a job because of it! Once you click submit project, your creator will receive a notification that a project with you has been created. They will have the option to review it and mark it as complete, in which payment will be rendered through Kaynuna. - [For Creators](https://help.kaynuna.me/for-creators?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Applying to Postings and Projects](https://help.kaynuna.me/for-creators?hsLang=en#applying-to-postings-and-projects) - [Creator Profile](https://help.kaynuna.me/for-creators?hsLang=en#creator-profile) - [Payments](https://help.kaynuna.me/for-creators?hsLang=en#payments) - [Translated Articles](https://help.kaynuna.me/for-creators?hsLang=en#translated-articles) - [Helpful Tips](https://help.kaynuna.me/for-creators?hsLang=en#helpful-tips) - [For Brands](https://help.kaynuna.me/for-brands?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Billing](https://help.kaynuna.me/for-brands?hsLang=en#billing) - [Creator Management](https://help.kaynuna.me/for-brands?hsLang=en#creator-management) - [Helpful Tips](https://help.kaynuna.me/for-brands?hsLang=en#helpful-tips) - [Working on Kaynuna](https://help.kaynuna.me/for-brands?hsLang=en#working-on-kaynuna) - [Platform Features](https://help.kaynuna.me/for-brands?hsLang=en#platform-features) - [Projects](https://help.kaynuna.me/for-brands?hsLang=en#projects) - [Postings](https://help.kaynuna.me/for-brands?hsLang=en#postings) - [Legal](https://help.kaynuna.me/legal?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Contracts, Insurance, and Legal](https://help.kaynuna.me/legal?hsLang=en#contracts-insurance-and-legal) [![KAYNUNA-Wordmark-Black-transparency-NO-padding](https://help.kaynuna.me/hs-fs/hubfs/KAYNUNA-Wordmark-Black-transparency-NO-padding.png?width=200&height=32&name=KAYNUNA-Wordmark-Black-transparency-NO-padding.png "KAYNUNA-Wordmark-Black-transparency-NO-padding")](http://Kaynuna.me) [Visit us at Kaynuna.me](http://Kaynuna.me) [mailto:support@kaynuna.me](mailto:support@kaynuna.me) Copyright © 2025,
