Per-word rates undersell your real expertise
Present translation services as packaged tiers -- not penny-per-word quotes. Clients see the full value of your work, approve, and pay in one place.

Sound familiar?
Clients fixate on per-word cost
They compare your rate to Google Translate and machine translation services. At $0.12/word, you're competing with tools that charge $0.00. The per-word model makes your expertise invisible.
Scope changes after the brief is set
The client sends a 2,000-word document. You quote it. Then they add three more pages and say 'it's mostly the same content.' It's not. Each page requires context, research, and formatting.
Revision requests that are really rewrites
The client's in-house reviewer changes the tone of the entire document. They call it a 'revision.' You know it's a retranslation. But you already quoted a flat fee that assumed one round of edits.
The solution
How SendScope helps
Translation packages that reflect your process
Offer Standard Translation, Certified Translation, and Localization Package as tiers. Each lists word count range, language pair, turnaround, and what's included -- glossary creation, formatting, review rounds.
Scope documented before you start
The approved tier specifies word count, file format, revision rounds, and delivery timeline. When the client adds pages, you reference the agreement and offer an add-on deal.
Payment before delivery
Clients pay through Stripe when they approve. You start the translation knowing you'll be compensated. No more delivering final files and waiting weeks for payment.
Professional invoicing included
Every approval generates a clean invoice. Useful for corporate clients who need documentation for their accounts payable process.
How it works
Three steps to getting paid
Create your deal page
Set up your translation services as tiers. Define language pairs, word count ranges, turnaround times, and what each level includes (proofreading, formatting, certification).
Share with your client
Send one link with your package options. Your client sees a professional page and picks the tier that matches their project requirements.
Get paid and start translating
Your client approves and pays. You get notified, download their source files, and begin the translation with scope and payment confirmed.
