02
Provide service after receipt of money
Your customer joins the escrow payment and deposits the agreed amount of money by credit card (VISA / MasterCard), SOFORT (Klarna) or bank transfer on the escrow account. PAYLAX will inform you of the receipt of the money, whereupon you can provide your service.
03
Receive money safely
After you have provided the service, your customer releases the money in real time via PAYLAX. You immediately receive confirmation of the release and the money is irrevocably forwarded to you. You can now initiate a free withdrawal to your bank account.
With PAYLAX, craftsmen and service providers can do business safely - even internationally! Deposits and advance payments can be easily and cashlessly requested with our escrow service.

Your
Benefits
Simple and inexpensive payment method
With PAYLAX, you can create a link in a few seconds to request or send money securely and cost-effectively. Escrow protection offers maximum security and is particularly suitable for transactions concluded between two parties via the Internet.
Reduced risk
Existing payment service providers usually do not offer sufficient protection. The risk of fraud increases especially in transactions with unknown persons and in cross-border shipments. PAYLAX's step-by-step processing reduces the risk and allows you to act without worries. The willingness alone to handle the purchase transaction via an escrow service underlines the seriousness and integrity of the parties involved.
Protection for both parties
PAYLAX's aim is to protect both buyer and seller from fraud and to make the payment secure and fair for both parties. The deposited funds are kept safely in an insolvency-proof escrow account until the transaction is concluded. The buyer is given the opportunity to inspect the goods or service before the funds are released. The seller delivers only after receipt of payment and is protected against unexpected chargebacks.
Suitable for goods, services and deposits
There are no limits to the purchase transaction via PAYLAX. In addition to buying and selling goods such as cars, boats, jewellery, watches, furniture, electronic goods, PAYLAX can also be used for services and deposits.
