KNOWLEDGE BASE

new – the subscription is yet to be activated.

pending – there was an activation attempt, but the payment did not go through or is being processed.

active – you’re good to go!

This is done from your app.lemon.io dashboard by making an initial payment for 1 month/week of work within the agreed-upon estimated workload.

The estimated weekly/monthly number of hours is discussed and agreed upon during the hiring process. For developers employed full-time, it is 40/160 hours; for part-time work, it is 20/80 hours or more. Please get in touch with your personal Customer Success Manager via email if you wish to change the estimate.

Onboarding may begin as soon as you activate the developer’s subscription from your app.lemon.io dashboard. Once it is done, you will receive an intro email with their contact information and can start the ball rolling!

After making the initial payment, which both activates your subscription and is credited in full to your account balance, subsequent charges are based on the developer’s reported hours. Monthly billing occurs every first Tuesday, and weekly billing every Tuesday. Any unused balance will be refunded at the project’s conclusion

Report – the number of completed work hours logged in by your developer. Click on the speech bubble icon on the right for a detailed breakdown of work/hours.

No extra steps are needed. We will include the extra hours in tuesday’s charge.

We will charge your card just for the number of hours reported.

Nope, since nothing was reported – the subscription balance remains intact, and thus you will not be charged on the upcoming tuesday.

You are only paying for the number of hours the developer worked for. Since time off and sick days are not reported as work completed – they do not need to be compensated—just another bonus for going the freelance route.

The optimal payment method is our subscription. It is processed via Stripe, and all you need for it is a credit card. You are charged every tuesday, based on the number of hours completed by the developer. You have total control and are free to add/delete/change the card you would like to use from your app.lemon.io dashboard “Settings” section. An alternative method is pre-paying for one month via bank transfer. Your monthly invoices will be determined by the estimated weekly number of hours multiplied by 4.

You can contact your Customer Success buddy to discuss changing the payment method at any time.

Each charge is followed by an email receipt from Stripe, including the number of hours you are paying for. You can also access receipts from your app.lemon.io dashboard (the download icon is on the right of every transaction). Detailed developer reports can be found and downloaded as an editable file from your dashboard’s activity log (a useful tool to keep all the accounts in order).

With the activation of each subscription, you are assigned a personal Customer Success Specialist, your liaison with the developer and with Lemon.io. Think of them as a mix of a fairy godmother and Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers. They watch over each subscription to ensure things are going smoothly and are ready to help with any issues that may arise:

• They can answer any Lemon.io-related questions you have. Seriously, feel free to contact them if something is not clear or if you have any concerns.

• They will find you new developers to hire – Lemon.io way is the best way! Every second customer prefers to do future hires via our platform once they see the advantages and simplicity of the Lemon.io model. Your personal CS specialist knows your needs, expectations, and style, so they are sure to connect you with the crème de la crème of the developers for the newly open positions.

• They are here to fix any issues you have with your current developer. Issues like replacements, heart-to-heart discussions, and settling magic of forwarding your requests and critiques to the developers are all within the range of Customer Success responsibilities.

• They are here for your feedback. Lemon.io became so awesome and easy to use because our customers always loved to share their experiences. Letting your Customer Success buddy know what works or does not work for you gives us new tools to craft service and experience that exceeds all expectations.

To contact your personal CS manager, you can send them an email:
Malky – m@lemon.io
Andrew – abondar@lemon.io
Olha – o.ivasiuk@lemon.io

You can request to pause an active subscription from your Lemon.io dashboard by clicking “Request to pause” in the top right corner. Your Customer Success Specialist will then email you for confirmation.

Although we do prefer to be the connecting force between the developer and you, OptOut can be considered. Please book a call with your Customer Success Manager for more details.

It would be preferable to have at least a two-week notice for subscription termination sent to your personal Customer Success Specialist. Once the work end date is set, we ensure that the developer has reported all completed work hours. If there is any outstanding balance on the subscription – it needs to be covered. If there are hours still remaining – they will be refunded. Once these matters are handled – the subscription will be closed.
