# Escrow

Initiate, and Fetch details of active, pending, or completed escrow transactions.

# 🤝 Escrow

The **Escrow** resource powers the core of Pandascrow — secure, conditional payments between two or more parties.

Escrow holds funds safely until pre-agreed conditions are met (e.g., delivery of service, completion of milestones), then releases the funds automatically or manually depending on your setup.

***

## 🧾 Types of Escrow We Support

* **One-Time Escrow** – A single payment held and released after a condition is met.
* **Milestone Escrow** – Funds are split and released in phases as work progresses.
* **Split Payment Escrow** – Funds are distributed to multiple parties from a single transaction.

Each escrow-type comes with configurable release logic, roles (payer, payee, observer), timelines, and attached metadata like disputes, wallet history, and notes.

***

## 💡 Common Use Cases

* Freelance marketplaces hold funds until job completion
* E-commerce platforms verifying delivery before payout
* B2B deals with phased deliverables or shared beneficiaries
* Agencies managing secure payouts between clients and vendors

***

## 🔐 Security & Audit Trail

All escrows are traceable, dispute-ready, and logged with full audit data — including when funds were held, who approved releases, and wallet impact per party.

You can also attach files, notes, or tags to escrows for clarity and automation.
