Payment links · escrow on Stellar

USDC checkout.Escrow included.

Send your customer a payment link. They pay in USDC, the funds wait in a smart-contract escrow, and they release to you once the buyer approves. StableTrade never holds the money.

Approves once the order arrived as described.

Waiting for the buyer

Why not just ask for a crypto transfer?

A direct transfer gives the buyer no protection, so many of them won't pay that way. Escrow fixes that for both sides.
