This isHow it works
2. Buyer deposits the money on the escrow account
After your business partner has accepted your invitation or you have joined the escrow payment, the buyer deposits the agreed amount of money in the insolvency-protected escrow account by bank transfer, credit card (VISA / Mastercard) or SOFORT (Klarna). PAYLAX also supports deposits via transferwise.com.
3. Seller hands over the goods or service
PAYLAX informs the salesman about the safe receipt of money and he can arrange now carefree the delivery of the commodity or the contribution of the service.
4. Seller receives the money in real time after approval
After the buyer has received and verified the goods or service, the money is irrevocably transferred to the seller. The seller can now withdraw the amount free of charge by bank transfer or via transferwise.com to his bank account.
Buyer Protection
The seller does not receive the money until the buyer has received and verified the goods or service. The release must be made via the PAYLAX account of the buyer.
Seller Protection
The buyer cannot withdraw the money without the express consent of the seller. It is not necessary to pass on bank details to the buyer
