Ask HN: Does anyone know of a robust escrow API?
We're looking to do online escrow for a site connecting freelance developers and entrepreneurs (matchist.com). Haven't been able to find anything that allows for credit card payments (escrow.com only does wire).
- pdenya 14y agoThis question is asked here regularly and I've never seen a satisfactory answer. Feel free to dig through though: http://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/all&q=escrow&start=0 http://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/all&q=escrow&...
- ig1 14y agoI believe Amazon's payment service lets you ice a payment (i.e. put a hold on the money) which can then be released/paid on a further signal (I think it's what Kickstarter uses). However you should realize that any payment made with a credit card can be reversed, and there's no-way around that.
