Wallet, funding and escrow

Topping up your wallet, what escrow means for your money, and paying by wallet versus by card.

You can pay for creator work two ways: card, UPI or net banking at checkout, or from a pre-funded Elev8or wallet. Either way, the money is held in escrow until you approve the work.

Escrow, plainly

  1. 1

    You pay

    The funds leave your account and sit with Elev8or.

  2. 2

    The creator cannot touch it

    It is not in their balance yet, so they have a real reason to deliver.

  3. 3

    You approve and release

    Once the live URL is submitted and you release, it moves to the creator’s balance.
