Trust is the most scarce resource in online commerce. Buyers worry about paying for something they will never receive. Sellers worry about shipping product before payment clears. Escrow solves both problems simultaneously: a neutral third party holds the funds until delivery is confirmed, at which point payment is released to the seller. No risk for either party.
How Tailorte's Escrow System Works
When a buyer purchases a fashion product from a seller on Tailorte, their payment is held in escrow rather than transferred directly to the seller. The seller then fulfils the order — producing or shipping the garment — and confirms despatch on the platform. Once the buyer confirms receipt and is satisfied with the product, the funds are released to the seller's account.
If there is a dispute — the item does not match the description, arrives damaged, or is not received — Tailorte's resolution process begins before any funds are moved. This ensures that neither party is left exposed during a disagreement.
For Buyers: What You Are Protected Against
- Non-delivery: if your order never arrives, your payment is refunded
- Significantly not-as-described: if the garment materially differs from the listing, you are protected
- Seller non-response: if the seller stops communicating after payment, Tailorte steps in
- Damaged goods: if the item arrives damaged in transit, the dispute process supports you
For Sellers: How Escrow Protects You Too
Escrow protects sellers as much as buyers. The most common concern sellers have is chargebacks — clients who receive goods and then dispute the charge with their bank. In Tailorte's escrow system, funds are pre-committed at the point of purchase and cannot be unilaterally reversed by the buyer once delivery is confirmed.
Photograph your finished garments before despatch and document the packaging process. These records support your position in any dispute and are easy to upload to your Tailorte seller account.
