Frequently asked questions

When does the other side see who I am?

Your legal name is shared at the proforma invoice stage, and full contact details only after the deal is confirmed. Before that, both sides stay masked.

When is payment released to the seller?

Only after delivery is confirmed and the four release checkpoints clear (documents, shipment, the dispute window, and compliance), followed by an administrator authorisation.

How is domestic trade different?

It follows a shorter flow built for India-to-India trade, with GST invoicing, e-Way Bills, and challan-signed delivery, on the same verified, payment-protected rails. Use the toggle above to see it.
