One deal · Four controlled steps

A shared process, not a leap of faith.

Each step changes what either party can do. That is what keeps the transaction understandable and protected.

01

Agree

Define the price, delivery date, inspection period, and proof expected.

02

Fund

The buyer moves the full amount into protected escrow.

03

Deliver

The seller completes the work and marks the deal ready for review.

04

Release

The buyer approves delivery, or a dispute is reviewed before funds move.

Made for real transactions

Use escrow when the deal matters more than a promise.

From one-off purchases to ongoing professional work, both parties get one place to agree on the scope, protect payment, record delivery, and confirm release.

Business customer reviewing a payment
Business deals

Pay suppliers with confidence

Create a traceable transaction for equipment, digital work, inventory, or contract services before money moves.

Customer reviewing a secure online payment

One record from start to finish

Know what happened, who acted, and what comes next.

Every deal keeps the participants, agreement, protected amount, messages, delivery status, and activity history together.

Terms both sides can see

Price, description, deadline, and deliverables stay attached to the transaction.

Payment protected by status

The system controls when funds are available, held, or released.

A permanent activity trail

Important actions remain visible to the participants and platform administrator.

Seller receiving a protected online payment

Balanced for both sides

Buyer protection without leaving the seller guessing.

The buyer knows the money will not move before delivery is confirmed. The seller knows the agreed amount has been set aside before completing the work.

For buyers

  • Review terms before funding
  • See delivery progress
  • Release only after review

For sellers

  • Confirm funds are held
  • Keep proof with the deal
  • Receive payment on release

Funds stay locked

Held balances cannot be withdrawn by either party.

Terms stay attached

Agreement text, messages, and events form one deal record.

Known participants

Invitations are tied to the counterparty email.

Disputes pause payment

Admin resolution is required before held money moves.

Protection by design

The rules live in the transaction, not in promises.

Ownership checks and locked transaction states prevent a buyer, seller, or repeat request from moving the same money twice. If a deal is disputed, the balance remains protected until review.
