End-to-End Operational Workflow & Transaction Lifecycle
From discovery and escrow commitment to tracked transit and settlement
Every transaction conducted on ePaisay follows a deterministic, 7-stage lifecycle engineered to eliminate counterparty risk, guarantee delivery verification, and maintain rigorous financial clarity.
Strategic Architecture & Pillars
- Stage 1: Discovery & Verification: Buyer explores validated catalog; product specifications, seller rating, and stock availability are cryptographically confirmed.
- Stage 2: Checkout & Escrow Lock: Buyer authorizes payment via fiat gateway or EPAY; funds are locked into programmatic escrow, insulating both parties.
- Stage 3: Dispatch & SLA Window: Seller receives automated dispatch manifest and must package and transfer parcel to integrated courier within the designated SLA.
- Stage 4: Real-Time Tracking: API telematics update order milestones from origin depot, customs clearance, to local distribution.
- Stage 5: Delivery & 48-Hour Inspection: Courier confirms physical delivery; buyer enters inspection window to verify item authenticity and condition.
- Stage 6: Settlement & Commission Split: Escrow automatically releases funds to vendor wallet; marketplace commission and agency splits are calculated instantly.
- Stage 7: Feedback & Archive: Parties exchange mutual verified reputation scores; transaction data is permanently archived for accounting.
