Core value
One workflow for proof, approval and payment clarity.
Connect Every Payment to the Work
Attach files, links, notes and completed deliverables to each milestone, so clients can clearly understand what has been delivered, what they are approving and what the payment covers.
Keep Clients Out of Internal Tools
Your team can work in Jira, Azure DevOps, Trello, ClickUp, Figma or any internal system. Clients only see the review page they need, without access to internal tools or sensitive information.
Turn Approval Into Payment Clarity
Once a milestone is approved, the payment request becomes clear, traceable and easy to follow, giving both you and your client confidence in what has been approved and when payment is due.
Spend Less Time Chasing Updates
Give clients one clear place to see progress, review deliverables and understand what comes next, reducing repetitive status emails, follow-ups and unnecessary meetings throughout delivery.
Project payments should not depend on messy emails.
Too often, clients receive invoices without a clear view of what was completed. Teams then chase approval through emails, chats and screenshots. StageDue brings the milestone, proof of work, client approval and payment status into one simple workflow.
WORKFLOW

Why milestone-based payments?
Know exactly what you're paying for, before you pay.
Agile breaks work into small pieces delivered in short cycles with checkpoints. It helps all teams and clients stay aligned. Linking payment to milestones protects both sides: clients get reviewable value, and teams get predictable funding.
Incremental Delivery
Small, usable pieces of work delivered regularly.
Regular Check-ins
Short reviews to confirm progress and align next steps.
Pay Per Milestone
Funding tied to completed work you can review and approve.
Everyone stays informed and involved.Keep the client at the centre of delivery.
Payment
Payment tracking without holding client funds.
The platform can show PayID instructions, bank transfer details, Stripe payment links or Xero invoice links. Payments go directly through the nominated bank account or payment provider. The platform only tracks the payment request and status.
No wallet. No escrow. No held funds. Just milestone review, invoice clarity and payment tracking.
