Single-release escrow
One payment held until delivery and acceptance. The simplest structure for cars, domains, merchandise, and one-shot services.
Best when price and deliverable are clear upfront.

How it works
From rules to release
Payment structure is part of the transaction — not a side spreadsheet after funds land.
Define payment rules
Set the total, who gets paid, milestone amounts or split shares, and what must happen before each release.
Buyer funds escrow
Payment moves into a segregated balance for that transaction — by wire, ACH, card, crypto, or another supported rail.
Conditions clear
Delivery, inspection, milestone acceptance, or platform signals mark each release gate as ready.
EscrowBolt releases
Funds pay out on the rules you set — one recipient or many — with the full path recorded on the deal.
Payment models
Structures for single deals and multi-party payouts
Choose the hold-and-release pattern that matches the economics of the deal. Availability depends on transaction type.
Milestone splits
Break a larger fee into stages. Release each tranche when that stage is accepted — design, deposit, delivery, go-live.
Common for freelancers, agencies, and staged projects.
Multi-party payouts
Fund once, pay several recipients by percentage or fixed amounts — broker, marketplace, seller, or partner share.
Rules are set before funds release so nobody is chasing side invoices.
Percentage splits
Define commission or revenue shares as part of the transaction. EscrowBolt calculates and routes on release.
Useful for brokers, platforms, and co-sellers.
Conditional branches
Release paths can depend on inspection, document checks, or dispute outcomes — not a single automatic wire.
Keeps edge cases inside the same transaction.
Platform-routed payments
Marketplaces and product teams plug EscrowBolt into checkout so escrow hold-and-split runs without custom treasury ops.
API and workflow-ready for recurring deal volume.
Why structure payments
Aligned payouts without side banks
Escrow hold and split release remove the usual scramble after delivery — who gets paid, how much, and whether funds were ever real.
Buyers know funds stay protected
Money does not land with the seller on day one. Release follows acceptance, milestones, or other conditions you agreed.
Sellers know the money is real
Verified funding sits in escrow before you ship, transfer, or finish work. Splits still respect that hold.
Brokers and platforms stop chasing wires
Commission and marketplace fees can release from the same funded deal — no side bank transfers after the fact.
Funding rails
How money enters escrow is separate from how it splits
Wire, ACH, card, international transfer, business funding, and crypto — choose the rail when you fund. Split and release rules still run on the same held balance.
