What is Escrow?

Escrow is a financial arrangement where a trusted third party holds and regulates the payment of funds between two parties involved in a transaction. On DiGiFaMaR, our escrow system ensures that your money is safe until you receive your order in perfect condition.

Buyer Places Order

You browse the marketplace, find fresh produce from local farmers, and place your order. Payment is securely held in our escrow system.

The farmer receives your order, harvests fresh produce, and ships it directly to you with tracking information.
