Escrow ledger

Trust, priced in.

Every Threadline order moves through escrow. Designers fund the order, producers ship, and funds release on confirmation. We charge 4.0% on every transaction — that's how we underwrite buyer protection and how the platform earns.

Sourcing trust

Buyers know the producer is verified and the funds won't move until they sign off. No more 'pay 50% upfront, hope for the best'.

Selling certainty

Producers see the funds are real before they cut. They get paid on confirmation — no chargebacks, no chasing invoices.

Platform protection

Threadline mediates disputes, refunds the buyer if the fabric doesn't match, and keeps a 4% take to underwrite the guarantee.
