PayPal Braintree handles checkout, refunds, and disputes. Its sales and merchant deposits show client money. Wingspan manages worker records, required checks, and pay.
A worker record holds the worker type: Contractor or W-2. Contractors use invoices and payables. W-2 employees use pay statements and employee pay runs. Their pay includes tax withholding. Their costs belong in payroll totals.
Service fees link a sale to a contractor assignment. An engagement is a shared work template. An assignment is one worker's job under that template. It holds the dates and agreed rates. Orders and buyer profiles add context. They do not create workers or bills on their own.
Workers record tasks or hours in work logs. Work approval creates one amount owed for contractor work. The worker sees an invoice. Your team sees the same amount as a payable. Finance approves payment in a separate step. Agreed fees also support direct payables. Use one path for each amount owed.
Braintree tracks client receipts. Wingspan tracks worker pay. Deposit confirmed means the sending bank or provider has processed the transfer. The receiving bank still handles posting the funds. Your team tracks returns as a separate status.
