Mercury Pro

Our startup is actively developing an educational platform and attracting numerous practicing experts to create content and conduct webinars. Our audience is diverse: some work as freelancers, some are individual entrepreneurs, and some are foreigners. Building a legally and tax-compliant yet flexible and fast payment process has become a real challenge. Manual calculations and individual contracts for hundreds of people each month threatened to paralyze our growth. Mercury Pro offered exactly what we needed: a single contract-offer for all types of contractors. This significantly simplified our legal routine. Now we simply add an expert to the system, they choose their status, and all further interactions occur according to clear and predictable schemes for our accounting. The functionality for task setting and control has also proven to be very useful. We formalized the lesson creation process: from plan approval to final video submission. All stages, edits, and deadlines are recorded in the personal account, which eliminates disputes and phrases like "I didn't see the email." When the work is completed, we conduct mass payments to the entire group of contractors in just a few minutes, having previously received a clear financial forecast from the calculator. For a business that works with a large number of external contributors in different jurisdictions, Mercury Pro is a strategic solution. The platform not only saves dozens of working hours each month but also minimizes risks associated with compliance and personnel documentation. We have gained control, scalability, and peace of mind, which is invaluable in the dynamic EdTech environment.

Our agency regularly interacts with numerous freelancers: designers, copywriters, and targeting specialists. Previously, managing this process was a real chaos. Various contracts (civil law contracts, self-employed, individual entrepreneurs), confusion in tasks, endless email and messenger correspondence to clarify details, manual calculation of payments including taxes, and, most unpleasantly, the preparation of a huge amount of documents for accounting. We spent an enormous amount of time and nerves on operational activities instead of focusing on creativity. The implementation of Mercury Pro has been a true breakthrough for us. Now the entire process is centralized on one platform. We set tasks in the personal account, attach briefs, and set deadlines. The performer sees all the information there, updates the status, and uploads results. But the most important part is the financial block. The platform automatically takes into account the tax status of each performer. The built-in payment calculator is a real find: we can immediately see how much the work will cost us, considering all deductions, and can choose the optimal cooperation scheme. After accepting the work, payment and all closing documents are generated automatically, in just a few clicks. The accounting department received an organized package of electronic documents for each performer, which minimized errors. We significantly reduced the time spent on payment administration, increased transparency for all participants in the process, and finally managed to scale without increasing the number of operational managers. Mercury Pro is not just a payment service, but a full-fledged ecosystem for managing remote teams that has returned our ability to focus on our core business.

For our company, this solution has been exactly what we have been looking for a long time. The main task was to coordinate the work of numerous freelancers and self-employed individuals on various projects, which previously required enormous resources. We faced chaos in communication, manual report compilation, and constant calculation errors. With the implementation of this platform, all processes have been streamlined. The key advantage is centralized control. We formalized task assignments directly in the personal account, where each performer sees a clear technical assignment, deadlines, and the amount of compensation. This immediately reduced the number of clarifying questions and misunderstandings. Performers note that the work has become more transparent, and for us as clients, we no longer need to search for who promised what and at what stage the work is — all statuses are recorded in the system. But the real find has been the automation of payments and document flow. Our accountant was thrilled when we switched to Mercury Pro. A single contract with all performers of various statuses freed us from paperwork. The platform itself prepares the necessary documents for closing the period electronically, which meets the requirements of the tax authority. We save dozens of hours every month that we used to spend on routine administrative work. The service reliably solves our problems and allows us to focus on the quality of projects rather than on managing processes.

Working with external contractors used to be a real challenge for our project department. There was constant confusion: one was a freelancer, another was on a civil law contract, and a third was from abroad. A bunch of scattered contracts, manual tax calculations, waiting for paper documents, and constant questions from accounting. With the implementation of Mercury Pro, we finally managed to establish a clear and transparent process. Now all interactions are centralized. We set tasks directly in the personal account, contractors see deadlines and requirements, and we monitor statuses in real time. This disciplines everyone and eliminates the back-and-forth of "where's the task?" and "what's the deadline?". But the most important thing is the payments and documents. The ability to work under a single contract with contractors of any status is a real lifesaver. The platform automatically takes into account the tax regime and prepares all the necessary electronic documents for closure. No more manual calculations or worrying about possible errors in the details. For us, as a company with dozens of regular contractors on various projects, Mercury Pro has become a system that has freed up a huge amount of resources. We save time, reduce legal and tax risks, and the contractors are satisfied with the speed and predictability of payments. The service truly addresses a complex issue, rather than just being "another payment gateway."

From a financial and administrative standpoint, the Mercury Pro platform provides order and predictability when working with freelancers. When the number of project participants exceeds several dozen and the geography spans different regions and countries, manual management leads to constant errors and financial losses. We were particularly impressed by the built-in payment calculator and the ability to model various collaboration schemes. This is not just a tool for transferring money, but an analytical instrument that helps choose the most financially optimal working model with each specialist, whether it's a self-employed individual in Russia or a contracted freelancer from another country. All calculations, including taxes and fees, are transparent and clear even before the work begins. Managing the balance and instantly receiving a complete set of electronic closing documents for all transactions is the level of document automation we were striving for. The platform completely frees us from the need to check the accuracy of invoices, acts, or UTDs from numerous different people. Everything is generated centrally, in accordance with current legal requirements. As a result, Mercury Pro has become a reliable foundation for scaling our project activities. The service reduces administrative costs, eliminates "paper" bureaucracy, and allows the finance department to focus on strategic tasks rather than on the routine management of mass payments.

Our agency had long struggled with order in our interactions with freelancers. One-off projects, numerous contractors every month, and various tax statuses (individual entrepreneurs, self-employed, individuals) led to chaos in accounting, a pile of paper contracts and acts, as well as constant delays in payments. Mercury Pro has been a real solution for us. The main advantage is the single contract-offer. There is no longer a need to agree on and sign multiple separate documents. We simply add a contractor to the system, they accept the offer, and that's it — legally correct cooperation has begun. The second important advantage is the automatic calculation of payments taking taxes into account. The built-in calculator instantly shows how much the contractor will receive "net" in different modes. This saves hours on negotiations and calculations in Excel. Through the personal account, we set tasks, accept completed work, and immediately initiate payment. This provides us with complete control over the process and deadlines, and for the contractors — a guarantee of quick payment. All closing documents are generated automatically and stored in the system. The accounting department breathed a sigh of relief, and we stopped losing qualified specialists due to organizational problems. The service paid for itself in the first two months thanks to the time saved for managers and accountants. I recommend it to everyone who works with freelancers.

We launched a large project involving hundreds of expert reviewers across the country. The main tasks were quick onboarding, regular mass payments, and creating a clear process for the performers. We chose Mercury Pro, and it fully met our expectations. The platform effectively handled all stages of interaction from "task — execution — payment." We were able to create task templates in just a few clicks, and the experts see a clear list of necessary checks and deadlines in their personal accounts. There's no need to communicate in messengers and lose track of tasks anymore. The acceptance of work and its payment became seamlessly connected — as soon as we confirm completion, the payment process begins. It was important for us that the system automatically determined the tax status of each expert (we had both self-employed individuals and regular individuals). All calculations were accurate, and we received a complete set of documents for accounting. Balance management helps plan finances, and transparent reports allow us to analyze activity and workload. The service has become not just a tool for payments but a full-fledged ecosystem for managing remote performers. It freed the team from a huge amount of routine work, allowing us to focus on product quality. The performers are also pleased with the simplicity and speed of payments. This is a rare case where the solution is convenient for both the client and the performer. If your business is growing with the help of freelancers, this is a must-use.

In search of an automated payment solution for our numerous freelancers and self-employed specialists, we chose Mercury Pro. This service has significantly changed our approach to working with freelancers, turning a chaotic process into an organized system. Previously, accounting and managers spent a huge amount of time coordinating tasks, calculating rewards considering various tax statuses (self-employed, individual entrepreneurs, individuals), preparing documents, and executing hundreds of payments. Now everything is concentrated in one personal account. We set a task, the freelancer accepts it, records the result — and the system already knows how much and to whom to pay. The built-in payment calculator is a real lifesaver for the finance department: we instantly see the final cost of services under various registration options, which helps us choose the optimal model. The main advantage is in centralization and control. We can see the status of all projects, deadlines, budgets, and the history of interactions with each freelancer in one place. The generation of acts and invoices in electronic form happens automatically, which solves document flow issues. Mercury Pro has become not just a payment gateway for us, but a full-fledged ecosystem for managing freelance resources. The service is reliable, saves dozens of working hours every month, and minimizes human errors, which is extremely important with large volumes. We recommend it to any company that seriously works with remote teams.

The platform is convenient for interacting with individuals, self-employed workers, and freelancers, especially when it comes to projects with multiple regular payments. The service offers the ability to centrally manage collaboration with contractors of various tax statuses under a single agreement, which significantly simplifies operational processes. I liked that the system integrates tasks, monitoring their completion, calculations, and the creation of closing documents in electronic format. The entire history of interactions is saved in the personal account: assignments, statuses, and results of work — this reduces risks and increases transparency. It's also worth noting the built-in payment calculator, which takes into account the company's tax regime and the format of collaboration. It allows for comparing different payment models and choosing the most suitable one. The tools for maintaining a database of contractors, managing balances, and obtaining reporting documents are also useful. Overall, Mercury Pro is excellent for companies that value scalability, process control, and formalized document flow when working with a large number of contractors, including those abroad.

Our company spent a long time looking for a way to organize work with a large number of freelancers — designers, copywriters, and testers. The main difficulties were the chaos in task management, manual calculations of payments considering various tax statuses (self-employed, individual entrepreneurs, individuals), and a lot of paperwork. Mercury Pro became a comprehensive solution for us that eliminated all these problems. Now all interactions happen through the platform's personal account. It's convenient and transparent: the contractor sees tasks, deadlines, and rewards, completes the work, and uploads the results. We can monitor statuses in real-time. But the real find is the payment stage. The built-in calculator allows us to immediately see how different models (for example, working with a self-employed person through "Assistant") affect the final amount of payment "in hand" and our costs. This enables us to plan the budget and offer better conditions to contractors. A single contract for all contractors significantly eases the workload of the legal department. The automatic generation of closing documents in electronic format has eliminated the previous paperwork hassle. The platform is perfect for projects with regular mass payments. We save dozens of working hours every month, minimize calculation errors, and have gained full control over finances. Mercury Pro is not just a payment service, but an infrastructure for safe and effective scaling of outsourcing business.
