What is the difference between a proposal and a contract?
A proposal is a decision document that explains the work and investment. A contract is the more detailed agreement that records obligations, protections, conditions, and signatures.
Paymarka contracts
Turn approved work into clear contractual obligations.
Paymarka helps businesses create detailed service contracts from approved deal terms, including scope, responsibilities, payment terms, acceptance, conditions, and signatures.
The proposal explains and sells the work. The contract records the obligations, protections, and evidence needed after both sides agree.
Why it helps
Keep the commercial record clear from the beginning.
Carry client, scope, value, payment structure, milestones, and timeline details forward from the deal.
Separate the commercial summary from the more detailed contractual obligations.
Capture signatures and consent evidence with the contract record.
Protect accepted contract terms from casual in-place editing after signing.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Can Paymarka provide legal advice?
No. Paymarka helps organize and record contract terms, but businesses should obtain independent legal advice for their jurisdiction and type of work.
Can contract terms be changed after signing?
Signed contract terms are protected from casual editing. A correction or new version should be created when the parties need to change an accepted agreement.
