向卖家付款

Escrow.com 是 Exchange 的支付服务合作伙伴,它可在整个交易过程中为您提供最高级别的保护。您只应通过 Escrow.com 向卖家付款。这也为您提供了一个安全的时段,您可以在转账之前审查交易的各个方面。除了集成的 Escrow.com 付款流程之外,请勿让卖家使用任何其他付款流程。

以下是使用集成的 Escrow.com 支付流程的好处:

  • Escrow 将安全保留您的付款,直到您接受 Escrow 交易中的所有里程碑为止。在您接受所有里程碑后,Shopify 账户团队将收到通知,指示将您从员工转变为店主。

  • 使用 Escrow.com 进行 Exchange 销售时,您可以使用银行转账、PayPal 或信用卡付款。

Escrow 付款简介

如果您已对 Exchange 市场上的一个产品页面提交了报价并已被接受,则卖家将在 Exchange 应用内创建 Escrow 交易。随后,您将收到 Escrow.com 发送的电子邮件,其中包含有关如何开始处理付款的说明。

Exchange 不支持部分付款、付款时间表和分期付款。买家必须准备好全额资金才能在 Exchange 上购买商店。

由于销售本身是卖家和买家之间私下进行的,因此 Exchange 上的所有销售均为最终结果,我们无法在交易退款方面提供帮助。如果您在 Exchange 上购买了商店,并且您想将该商店退还给之前的所有者,则需要联系卖家就此问题进行沟通。

在您购买之前,请务必询问卖家您关于商店的任何问题,以确保它适合您。

注意

只能使用 Escrow 向商家付款。如果商家鼓动您通过其他方式付款,那么该销售可能具有欺诈性,您应该向 Exchange 举报该笔交易。

步骤 1:卖家接受了您的报价,交易开始

卖家接受您的报价后,系统会提示卖家在 Exchange 市场应用中创建 Escrow.com 交易。卖家负责制定交易条款并最终确定销售中包含的内容。

创建交易后,您将收到 Escrow.com 的电子邮件,询问您是否同意交易条款。

注意

请勿同意通过其他方法向卖家付款。Exchange 为买家提供保护并使您成为 Shopify 店主的唯一方法是通过 Escrow.com 进行付款。


步骤 2:同意条款并发送付款

收到来自 Escrow.com 的电子邮件后,请点击查看条款,以创建 Escrow 账户并查看卖家创建的最终销售条款。这些条款中应包含卖家同意转让给您的所有内容。

如果所有内容都没有问题,则同意条款并进入付款阶段。您将需要登录到 Escrow 账户以使用以下方法之一完成付款:

  • 信用卡

  • PayPal

  • 电汇

在您付款后,Escrow.com 将在信托账户中确认并保护您的资金。通过确保在卖家将资产转让给您之前保留资金,这可为您提供额外的安全保障。

备注

信用卡和 PayPal 付款最多需要 2 个工作日才能得到保障。电汇可能最多需要 10 个工作日。在资金得到保障之前,卖家不会开始转让资产。

步骤 3:从卖家处接收业务资产

当您的付款得到 Escrow.com 的保障后,卖家便会收到通知,开始向您转让资产。如果卖家确认已将所有内容递交给您时,Escrow.com 会向您发送电子邮件。

此时,Shopify 账户的所有权之外的所有内容都应已转让给您。在您确认接收到所有内容之后,您才能成为 Shopify 商店的所有者。但是,卖家必须将您添加为员工。用于以员工身份登录的电子邮件必须与您注册 Exchange 所用的 Facebook 或 Google 账号相关联的电子邮件地址相同。您不能要求卖家使用其他电子邮件地址。

您有责任接受员工邀请。您将收到来自 Shopify 的电子邮件,其中包含将您添加为员工的邀请。如果您没有收到此电子邮件,请在确认接收到所有内容之前将该情况告知卖家。

在您可以通过卖家为您设置的员工登录信息访问 Shopify 后台之前,请勿确认您已收到资产。通常,在您通过 Escrow.com 付款后,卖家需要将您添加为员工。为您创建的账户暂时对该商店的访问权限有限。

交易结束时,Exchange 会在三个工作日内将您设为店主。请务必在注册表单中提供准确信息,以便资产能够妥善发送给您。在您接受 Escrow.com 中的所有阶段之后,卖家才会收到付款。

备注

Exchange 市场支持部门不会强制要求提供售后支持。如果以资产形式提供售后支持,则建议与卖家签署协议。如果可能,您应咨询法律专业人士以草拟此协议。

步骤 4:在检验期间对企业进行检查

每笔 Escrow.com 交易都涉及详尽的检验期,这是给买家留出的一段时间,以便确保所有内容都如卖家所述。检验期限可为 3-30 天,具体取决于交易条款中的约定。

请务必检查以下内容:

  • 您可以访问您同意从卖家处购买的所有账户。

  • 您确认卖家报告的销售额有效。

  • 所有内容都与卖家描述相符。

步骤 5:在 Escrow.com 中接受资产

在您收到卖家的所有资产并对购买感到满意后,您需要在您的 Escrow 账户中将阶段标记为“已接受”以完成销售。

登录 Escrow.com 并前往您的交易选项卡,然后点击未结交易以接受阶段。

接受后,Escrow.com 将开始向卖家发放款项。Exchange 团队将在三个工作日内与您联系以进行确认,并让您知道您需要以新店主身份登录您的 Shopify 账户。

在购买过程中保护自己

从通过在线渠道认识的人处购买企业可能很复杂。但您可以遵循以下指南,帮助确保交易顺利进行。

始终通过 Escrow.com 向卖家付款

Exchange 与 Escrow.com 合作,旨在为您提供最安全的交易环境。您不必直接向卖家付款,而是首先向 Escrow.com 付款,Escrow.com 将保留您的资金,直到卖家将业务的所有权交给您。除非您收到所有已付款的内容,否则卖家不会获得付款。Paypal 等其他付款方式不会为销售 Shopify 账户等数字商品提供任何保护。所有付款必须全额付清,不能通过多个分期付款完成购买。

注意

如果交易在 Exchange 市场 Escrow.com 流程之外完成,Shopify 无法帮助您处理与此交易相关的任何问题,并且可能导致您被永久禁止使用 Exchange。在 Exchange 之外使用 Escrow.com 开始新的交易会被视为不符合授权的 Exchange 付款流程。所有官方 Exchange 交易都会在 Escrow.com 交易中将 exchange-payments@shopify.com 列为代理。

切勿让卖家向您提供其 Shopify 账户的密码

Exchange 支持团队会在三个工作日内将 Shopify 账户的所有权转让给您。他们会与您联系,表示已收到卖家发出的所有权转让请求。他们还会在您可以成为账户新所有者时告知您。

请千万不要允许卖家自行将所有权转让给您。账户转让操作始终由 Exchange 客服团队执行。

请务必完成您自己的尽职调查

询问卖家是确保接手企业时不出现意外的最佳方式。

虽然您可以相信 Exchange 产品页面上的销售数据图表是经过 Shopify 验证的,但向卖家求证任何有关数据的声明也绝无害处。

作为买家,当您通过 Escrow.com 付款时,您将始终拥有一个检验期。

Paying the seller

Escrow.com is Exchange's payment partner, and it offers you the highest level of protection throughout your transaction. You should only pay the seller through Escrow.com. This also gives you a safe window to review all aspects of the transaction before any money is transferred. Do not ask sellers to use anything other than the integrated Escrow.com payment process.

The following are benefits to using the integrated Escrow.com payment process:

  • Escrow will securely hold your payment until you accept all milestones in the Escrow transaction. After you accept all milestones, the Shopify Accounts team is notified to turn you from staff to a store owner.

  • When you use Escrow.com for an Exchange sale, you can pay using bank transfer, PayPal, or credit card.

  • Step 1: Your offer is accepted and the transaction begins

  • Step 2: Agree to terms and send payment

  • Step 3: Receive the business assets from the seller

  • Step 4: Review the business during your inspection period

  • Step 5: Accept the assets in Escrow.com

  • Protecting yourself during the buying process

Introduction to Escrow Payments

If you've submitted an offer for a listing on Exchange Marketplace and it's been accepted, then the seller will create the Escrow transaction within the Exchange app. You will then receive an email from Escrow.com containing instructions on how to get started with the payment.

Partial payment, payment plans, and payment through installments are not supported on Exchange. The buyer needs to have all funds available to purchase a business on Exchange.

Because the sale itself is arranged privately between sellers and buyers, all sales on Exchange are final and we cannot assist with refunds for transactions. If you've purchased a business on Exchange and you're looking to return it to the previous owner, you'll need to reach out to the seller to arrange this.

Before your purchase, always make sure to ask the seller any questions you might have about the business to ensure that it's the right fit for you.

Caution

Only use Escrow to pay a seller. If the seller is encouraging you to pay using another method, then the sale is likely fraudulent and should be reported to Exchange.

Step 1: Your offer is accepted and the transaction begins

As soon as your offer is accepted, the seller will be prompted to create an Escrow.com transaction within the Exchange Marketplace app. The seller is responsible for creating the terms of the transaction and finalizing what's going to be included in the sale.

Once the transaction is created, you will receive an email from Escrow.com asking you to agree to the transaction terms.

Caution

Don't agree to pay the seller through any other method. The only way for Exchange to offer buyer protection and make you the Shopify store owner is to pay through Escrow.com.

Step 2: Agree to terms and send payment

Once you've received the email from Escrow.com, click Review terms to create your Escrow account and review the final terms of the sale that the seller has created. Everything that the seller is agreeing to transfer to you should be included in these terms.

If everything looks good, then agree to the terms to proceed to the payment stage. You will need to be logged into your Escrow account to complete the payment using one of the following methods:

  • Credit card

  • PayPal

  • Wire transfer

After you've made the payment, Escrow.com will verify and secure your funds in a trust account. This provides an extra layer of security by making sure that the funds are held until the seller transfers assets to you.

Note

Credit card and PayPal payments take up to 2 business days to secure. Wire transfers can take up to 10 business days. The seller won't begin transferring assets until the funds are secured.

Step 3: Receive the business assets from the seller

The seller will be notified to begin transferring assets to you as soon as your payment has been secured by Escrow.com. You can expect an email from Escrow.com once the seller confirms that they've handed everything over to you.

Everything but ownership of the Shopify account should be transferred to you at this point. You won't be made the Shopify store owner until after you've confirmed that everything has been received. However, the seller must add you as staff. The email used to log in as staff must be the same email address linked to the Facebook or Google account that you used to sign up for Exchange. You cannot request that the seller uses an alternative email address.

It's your responsibility to accept the staff invitation. You'll receive an email from Shopify with an invite that you can use to add yourself as staff. If you don't receive this email, then let the seller know before you confirm that everything has been received.

Do not confirm that you've received the assets until you have access to the Shopify admin through the staff login the seller sets up for you. Normally, the seller is instructed to add you as staff after you pay Escrow.com. The account you are creating will have limited access to the shop for the time being.

At the end of the transaction, you will be made the store owner by Exchange within three business days. It's important that you provide accurate information in the sign-up form so that the assets are properly sent to you. The seller won't receive the payment until you have accepted all milestones in Escrow.com.

Note

Exchange Marketplace Support does not enforce post-sale support. If post-sale support is being offered as an asset, then signing an agreement with the seller is recommended. If possible, you should consult with a legal professional to draft this agreement.


Step 4: Review the business during your inspection period

Every Escrow.com transaction involves an detailed inspection period, which is a period of time given to you as the buyer to make sure that everything is as described by the seller. The inspection period can be anywhere from 3-30 days depending on what was agreed to in the terms of the transaction.

It's most important to check the following:

  • You can access all the accounts you've agreed to purchase from the seller.

  • You confirm that the sales reported by the seller are valid.

  • Everything matches what was described by the seller.

Step 5: Accept the assets in Escrow.com

After you've received everything from the seller and you are satisfied with the purchase, you need to accept mark the milestones as accepted in your Escrow account to finalize the sale.

Log into Escrow.com and go to your Transactions tab, then click on the open transaction to accept the milestones.

As soon as you accept, Escrow.com will begin issuing the payment to the seller. The Exchange team will contact you within three business days to confirm and let you know that it's time to log in to your Shopify account as the new business owner.

Protecting yourself during the buying process

Buying a business from someone you've met online can be complicated. But you can follow these guidelines to help makes sure that your transaction goes smoothly.

Always pay the seller through Escrow.com

Exchange has partnered with Escrow.com to provide you with the safest possible trading environment. Instead of paying the seller directly, you'll first pay Escrow.com, who will hold your money until the seller hands ownership of the business over to you. The seller won't be paid unless you get everything you paid for. Other payment methods like PayPal don't offer any protection for the sale of digital goods, such as a Shopify account. All payments must be made in full and can't be completed through multiple installments.

Caution

If a transaction is completed outside of the Exchange Marketplace Escrow.com flow, then Shopify can't help you with any issues that involve that transaction, and it can result in you being permanently banned from using Exchange. Using Escrow.com outside of Exchange to begin a new transaction is considered outside of the authorized Exchange payment flow. All official Exchange transactions have exchange-payments@shopify.com listed as the broker in the Escrow.com transaction.

Never let the seller give you the password to their Shopify account

The Exchange support team transfers ownership of the Shopify account to you within three business days. They'll contact you to let you know that they've received an ownership transfer request from the seller. They'll also let you know when the account is ready for you to be made the new owner.

You should never allow a seller to transfer ownership to you themselves. Account transfers are always done by Exchange support.

Be sure to do your own due diligence

Asking the seller questions is the best way to make sure that there are no surprises once you become the new owner of the business.

Even though you can trust that the sales data charts on Exchange listings are verified by Shopify, it never hurts to ask the seller to validate any claims about numbers as well.

As a buyer, you'll always have an inspection period when paying through Escrow.com.
