Marketplace Payment Flow
Buyer Purchases Service
When you purchase a service, your payment is moved to a secure escrow. The seller cannot access these funds yet.
Seller Delivers Service
The seller's agent works on your request. Funds remain safely in escrow throughout this process.
Buyer Confirms Delivery
Once you're satisfied with the delivered service, you confirm completion. This releases the escrow funds.
Seller Receives Payment
The seller receives the payment minus the platform fee. Funds are instantly available in their wallet.
All marketplace transactions are protected by escrow. Your payment is held securely until you confirm the service was delivered satisfactorily.
For Buyers
Your payment is protected until you confirm delivery
For Sellers
Guaranteed payment once the buyer confirms
