Your transaction, protected step by step.
Secuora is not a marketplace. Start a transaction wherever you found each other and use Secuora as the neutral transaction-protection layer.
- Step 01
Create the transaction
The Buyer or Seller creates a Secuora transaction and enters the agreed item or service, price, Buyer, Seller, transaction conditions, verification requirements and shipping requirements where applicable.
Turn an agreement into a structured transaction. Both parties can see exactly what has been agreed before money moves.
- Step 02
Buyer funds the transaction
The Buyer pays using an available payment method. Funds are protected according to the transaction's agreed conditions rather than immediately released to the Seller.
Secuora does not represent itself as independently holding escrow funds where a third-party escrow provider is responsible for holding them.
- Step 03
Transaction is funded
Once payment has been successfully received and confirmed, the transaction moves into its protected execution stage and the Seller can proceed according to the agreed conditions.
FUNDS RECEIVED
- Step 04
Seller provides the item
The Seller provides the item according to the transaction agreement, and may be required to provide item information, serial numbers, photographs, proof of ownership, receipts, condition information or other transaction evidence.
Sellers provide the agreed item and supporting evidence so the transaction can be properly documented.
- Step 05
Verification & evidence
Secuora creates a transaction record containing relevant evidence supplied by the parties — serial numbers, photographs, videos, documents and transaction communications.
!Verification tools do not automatically guarantee authenticity, ownership or condition. They provide structured evidence that can be used during the transaction and dispute process. - Step 06
Delivery / handover
Where delivery is required, the item is shipped or handed over using the agreed delivery method and delivery status can be associated with the transaction.
Where no shipping is required, the parties can complete the agreed handover process without requiring courier delivery.
- Step 07
Buyer inspection
The Buyer receives the item and has the applicable inspection period to determine whether it matches the transaction agreement. They can accept or raise a dispute.
Buyers should inspect the item promptly and compare it with the information and conditions agreed in the transaction.
- Step 08
Transaction completion
If the Buyer accepts, the transaction is completed and the applicable protected funds are released according to the transaction and escrow provider's rules.
TRANSACTION COMPLETED
- Step 09
Dispute
If there is a material problem, the Buyer can raise a dispute within the applicable transaction period. Relevant evidence can then be reviewed according to the dispute process.
Evidence may include original listing/item information, Seller and Buyer evidence, serial numbers, photographs, videos, messages, delivery records and payment records.
- Step 01
Create the transaction
The Customer or Provider creates a Secuora transaction, chooses Service and enters the agreed service, price, Customer, Provider, transaction conditions, completion requirements and delivery method.
Turn an agreement into a structured transaction. Both parties can see exactly what has been agreed before money moves.
- Step 02
Provider defines the service
The Provider sets out the scope, deliverables, completion criteria, delivery method, deadline, revisions allowance, cancellation terms and price.
The service definition is captured before any money moves, so both sides work from the same plan.
- Step 03
Both parties agree the terms
The Provider's definition goes to the Customer as a versioned service agreement. Either party can accept it or propose changes, and each proposal creates a new version that both sides must accept again.
!Terms are negotiable until both sides agree, and they are locked once the transaction is funded. - Step 04
Customer funds the transaction
The Customer pays using an available payment method. Funds are protected according to the transaction's agreed conditions rather than immediately released to the Provider.
Secuora does not represent itself as independently holding escrow funds where a third-party escrow provider is responsible for holding them.
- Step 05
Transaction is funded
Once payment has been successfully received and confirmed, the transaction moves into its protected execution stage and the Provider can begin the agreed work.
FUNDS RECEIVED
- Step 06
Service execution
The Provider works through the agreed scope, records progress on the timeline and uploads evidence against each milestone.
The Customer follows progress without chasing updates, and every record stays attached to the transaction.
- Step 07
Provider submits completion
The Provider submits a summary of the completed work, confirms the completion criteria and deliverables are met, and attaches the supporting evidence.
The submission moves the transaction into Customer review, where the Customer approves, requests a correction or opens a dispute.
- Step 08
Transaction completion
If the Customer accepts, the transaction is completed and the applicable protected funds are released according to the transaction and escrow provider's rules.
TRANSACTION COMPLETED
- Step 09
Dispute
If there is a material problem, the Customer can raise a dispute within the applicable transaction period. Relevant evidence can then be reviewed according to the dispute process.
Evidence may include the service agreement versions, messages, progress records, deliverable files and payment records.
