How Does Escrow Work?

A simple 5-step process to protect your money

💳
Step 1

Customer pays Afrikabizz

Your payment is securely collected by Afrikabizz. The vendor receives nothing yet.

🔒
Step 2

Funds held in escrow

Money is held in a secure account. Neither you nor the vendor can access it before validation.

📦
Step 3

Vendor delivers the order

The vendor prepares and delivers your order, knowing payment is guaranteed if they fulfill their commitment.

✅
Step 4

Customer approves

You confirm receipt of your order. If you take no action within 7 days, release is automatic.

💰
Step 5

Vendor gets paid

Funds are released to the vendor after platform fee deduction. Transaction complete!

🛡 Buyer Protection

You have rights — and we enforce them

Secure Escrow

Your money is never directly paid to the vendor. It's held in our secure system until your approval.

Dispute Process

If a problem occurs, open a dispute. Submit evidence (photos, messages). Our team decides within 48 business hours.

Full Refund

If the dispute is resolved in your favor, you receive a full refund (100% of escrow amount) within 24 business hours.

Vendor Verification

Every vendor goes through a verification process: identity, business, and history before accessing the platform.

🏪 Vendor Protection

Sell with confidence — your payment is guaranteed

Payment Guaranteed Before Delivery

Even before preparing the order, funds are already locked in escrow. You know you'll be paid if you fulfill your commitment.

Fair Review Process

In case of a dispute, you can submit your delivery proofs. Our team reviews both parties fairly.
