VultPay for marketplaces

Escrow for every order on your marketplace.

Your buyers pay into VultPay escrow. You release each payment to your seller by API when the order is done, and take your commission at the same time. You never hold the money.

How it works

Three steps to escrow on your platform.

Add your sellers

Create a seller for each merchant on your marketplace, with their payout account. They never need a VultPay login.

Create deals by API

Your server creates the deal and sends the buyer to VultPay checkout. The money is held in escrow, never by you.

Release by instruction

When the order is done, release, refund or split it with one call. Your commission is paid to you at release.

Built for platforms

You run the marketplace. VultPay holds the money.

You decide, inside clear limits

Release, refund or split each deal by instruction. If a deal waits past your hold cap (30 days unless you set longer), VultPay steps in and decides it, so money never sits forever.

Disputes come to you first

A buyer's dispute gives you a response window to settle it. If you don't, VultPay's reviewers take it, with evidence from both sides.

Your commission, paid at release

Add a fixed amount or a rate to each deal. It comes out of your seller's share, after VultPay's fee, and is paid to your account.

Optional seller checks

Verify a seller by BVN, NIN or CAC lookup, or send them a verification link. Charged only when a check succeeds, from the seller's first payout.

Webhooks for every step

Signed webhooks for funding, release, refunds, disputes, the buyer's confirmation and the hold cap, with retries and a delivery log.

Sandbox first

Test keys create test deals that move only simulated money, so you can build the whole flow before going live.

Pricing

2% per deal, capped at ₦10,000.

No monthly fee and no setup fee. VultPay's fee comes out of your seller's share at release, never from your buyer or your commission. Buyers pay the card or transfer processing fee at checkout. Larger volumes can agree a lower rate with us.
