Hello everyone - my first post here.

You've been asking for a slicker and more simple integration of Escrow.com. Today we launched Escrow Pay, which is a streamlined checkout payments system in one line of code.

Apologies for attaching a press release but I thought some people might appreciate the detail. More information is at http://www.escrow.com/pay

Myself and the team are happy to answer any questions.

Escrow.com introduces Escrow Pay, secure online payment processing for cars, boats, airplanes, domains & anything of value, in one line of code.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 6th 2018: Escrow.com, the world’s most secure online payment system from a counterparty risk perspective, today announced the launch of Escrow Pay™ , a streamlined checkout payment system for buying and selling cars, boats, airplanes, domains and anything of value, in one line of code.


7f6_s6oO9llsCJYMZA_2nZFXfSItcKl7SzgAhLeLWTG-IHJCxOWz6xiA0gYjC19oy-2XKIJY0RUA5_G8AUPquOSXuI-rlIgU_OuxnrF6LqW_Tt8RCGEmChDDpqcyvGbHGmFwFyB6


With no minimum fee and prices as low as 0.89%, Escrow Pay is the ideal solution for any website, mobile app, online store, classified site or marketplace that needs to take payments for any product or service of value. Escrow.com is ideal for transaction sizes from $100 to $10,000,000 or more.


Escrow Pay can be implemented with a single line of code and provides an integration of Escrow.com’s payment system for those customers that prefer a quick and easy solution over and above the powerful and fully featured Escrow.com API that was launched in December 2017.

Escrow.com is used to secure a wide range of transaction types​


Escrow.com protects both the buyer and the seller by acting as a trusted thirty party holding the funds, allowing the goods to be shipped and inspected prior to funds being released. This means that valuable items can ship across state or country lines before the transaction completes, improving liquidity and access to global markets safely. Greater liquidity means sellers can access more buyers and buyers more sellers, resulting in better choice, pricing and transaction completion rates. For sellers, Escrow.com greatly increases trust & safety and reduces fraud and with no chargebacks, ever.

Escrow.com is perfect for buying and selling cars, boats, airplanes, domain names, IP address blocks, websites, computer equipment, heavy machinery, jewelry, antiques, services, intellectual property and for import/export. The Aurora Space Station, the world’s first luxury space hotel launching in 2021 uses Escrow.com for taking deposits for the $10 million experience.

Escrow Pay integrations are straight forward. With a single call to the Escrow Pay API, a partner may create a transaction and retrieve a link to the Escrow Pay checkout flow, which the buyer then may use to complete their transaction in a few easy steps. On completing this, the buyer is returned to a page on the partner’s site. This means that an Escrow Pay button can be added to any type of page or application, including shopping cart checkout pages, classified listing pages, domain parking pages, and mobile apps. The Escrow Pay API may be used on its own or in conjunction with the fully featured Escrow Platform API.

Escrow Pay is a streamlined payment system for any website​

Recent transactions secured by Escrow.com include the sale of the premium domain names crypto.com by famed cryptographer Matt Blaze, and ice.com to the Intercontinental Exchange, the owner of the New York Stock Exchange. Escrow.com is also the payment system powering a wide variety of e-Commerce businesses including Shopify Exchange, Shopify’s marketplace to buy and sell businesses built on the Shopify platform, and Wingform, a marketplace for airplanes.

The views expressed on this page by users and staff are their own, not those of NamePros.
Is this form script code for the button secure? I haven't used form code for quite a while since I use Google forms now.

But, it looks like I can copy someones code onto my site. Change the code price and buy the domain name. Or does the value come from saved data in the Escrow database? If this is the case why pass the parameters in from the form?

<input type="hidden" name="price" value="2300">

I am probably wrong. Any coders out there that can correct my fears.

Thanks.

This would be the same as someone randomly setting up a transaction with you for a certain price manually. With the buy it now buttons you still need to accept the offer.

Thanks. I have not followed through with an Escrow buy transaction yet and can only see the buy now page showing the Escrow Create an Account with item description page. The item description data comes from my website buy now button form passed parameters. Once buyer creates an account do I the seller get a notification?? I still don't like the button form passing the buy price value. Someone could copy my code and have some fun sending me $2 buyers for a $10,000 domain name.

The seller will get an email once the transaction has been setup.

@Matt Barrie I'm playing around with Escrow API + Wordpress plugin. Do we need to have Tier 2 or 3 verification to use API, even in sandbox mode? It returns 401 error (user requires to be authenticated).
Many thanks

It looks like you don't need to create a button on escrow.com (I may be wrong) and can simply edit your own or anyone else's html code (which you can get by viewing source on your browser) and change the price, domain name and even sellers email address. Anyone can do this using Notepad, and then copy code to your webpage. Is this a secure way to do it? I did it and changed email address and domain name to example.com but could have been Crypto.com etc. and a price of just $10 (value="10") See below:
Code:
<form action="[URL]https://www.escrow.com/checkout[/URL]" method="post"><input type="hidden" name="type" value="domain_name"><input type="hidden" name="non_initiator_email" value="[EMAIL][email protected][/EMAIL]"><input type="hidden" name="non_initiator_id" value="123456"><input type="hidden" name="non_initiator_role" value="seller"><input type="hidden" name="title" value="Example.com domain"><input type="hidden" name="currency" value="USD"><input type="hidden" name="domain" value="Example.com"><input type="hidden" name="price" value="10"><input type="hidden" name="concierge" value="false"><input type="hidden" name="with_content" value="false"><input type="hidden" name="inspection_period" value="1"><input type="hidden" name="fee_payer" value="split"><style>@import url([URL]https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:600);.EscrowButtonPrimary.EscrowButtonPrimary[/URL]{background-image:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAG8AAAALCAMAAABGfiMeAAAAolBMVEUAAAD///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////.....

P.S. End area of escrow pay code was not copied so code should not work if used (I assume)..

What are the legal challenges of someone selling my domain name for value=100. Buyer is sent to the Escrow web page with my domain name itemized for sale. Buyer a fortune 500 company with lots of lawyers commits to buy my domain name but I do not accept since I did not publish my domain for sale at value=100? Can I prove that the fake code doesn't come from my website but the fake website?

Quick question about this - am I able to use the concierge service for a domain transaction for a better chance of it being completed without issues with this new button option? I assume yes but it's always better to ask first.
Thanks.

In the event someone copied your buttons and changed the price, we would email you asking to agree to the transaction. If the price does not match the price you set on your buttons, you wouldn't agree the transaction and it would get cancelled.

But what stops someone from replacing email in the code with their own email address who may also have escrow.com account under that email, so you then send transaction agreement to the altered email which goes to the 3rd party, who then agrees to the transaction? The price, domain and email should be hidden from view in the public accessible code, imo.

Is this open to all countries or is it still restricted to select countries like Nigeria?
Nigeria was among the accepted countries right before escrow was sold to freelancer. It was reversed after the acquisition. I almost lost a sale due to this, thanks to @promo who made sure everything went fine.

I still wonder why they can't review their policy on that considering the fact that there is a verification process. I don't know about the Freelancer angle though, since Freelancer allows Nigerians on their platform. But again, Freelancer projects are usually low-cost, mostly ranging from $10-$1000.

Thanks for launching Escrow Pay. It has excellent usage potential and is very easy to implement.

This thread is about Escrow Pay not about Nigeria and other nations with high online fraud and scams. P.S. "I am the wife of the deposed Nigerian President and sister of the Oil Minister and I am also related to the Prince. I have 20 million USD I need to get out of Nigeria fast and asking you if I can send these funds direct to your US Bank account. When you get the $20,000,000 USD just wire $19,000,000 back to my account and keep $1,000,000 USD for your kind help. All you need to do is first send your US bank account info and $3,000 by Wire or Bitcoin to show your good faith."

Anyone today can just go to the main escrow.com website and try to set up a transaction with you for anything, you would still need to accept and decide to ship the merchandise before any transaction would be binding.

Then they are trying to transact with someone else and not you!

Yes for certain transactions you need to be verified in tier 2 and tier 3 even in sandbox. The benefits of each verification level are displayed when a logged-in user clicks the 'Get Verified' tab on our site. In order to get verified in sandbox, please go to our integration helper in the sandbox API documentation and follow the instructions: https://www.escrow-sandbox.com/integration-helper/docs/verification.

Please message me if there are still issues after following my directions above.

I disagree with you. This thread is for everyone, not just for US members. Nobody force you to do business with other nations.

Sorry it was not clear, of course it's for everyone I never said thread was not for all but was referring to the subject being escrow pay.

Thanks for sharing!
Adding a button is very simple with the instructions on escrow.com
I added the button to some of my domain-landingpages.
Example: www.strongblockchain.com
