Fantastic work! I have the following questions.. Does it work only by converting the currency or does it take care of the taxes and other things? Does it work for all the currencies? Which API do you use for currency conversion?

Thanks! At the moment it does the conversion for the total price and the price minus Upwork fees but due to the complexity of understanding different tax codes it doesn't do any of that. There will be some unknown banking fees in the transfer which we also don't take account of for now.

150+ currencies are supported and for now we use this simple API: https://apilayer.com/marketplace/currency_data-api
