One of my main clients very recently updated their portal for handling translations. Among other features, you no longer need to submit an invoice. Once you click on a button saying that you "accept" the job and the terms offered, payment is triggered by delivery of the job.

Poorly devised question

This question requires selecting more than one choice among the answers. Since the system does not allow it, it's not answerable.
