How does payment work at IQX Solutions?
IQX provides a quote or estimate, confirms scope, collects the agreed deposit or starting payment, uses milestone payments where suitable, and completes final delivery after the required final payment is cleared.
Quotes are based on project scope and complexity
Payment schedules are confirmed before active work begins
Extra requests may require a revised quote or approval
