AtaraPay Network protects Buyer and Seller....

AtaraPay is an online escrow service that protects buyer and seller during a commercial transaction conducted online or offline using our suites of online tools and APIs. The MarketPlace by AtaraPay connects all types of online and offline merchants from social media sellers to car sale men in order to offer credible service to your customers. The marketplace operates only the AtaraPay payment method providing protection for both Buyer and Seller.

How AtaraPay Works

Buyer visits Marketplace by AtaraPay and purchases items. At checkout, Buyer makes payment to the escrow account using a card, bank transfer or cash. Seller is notified of payment and required to fulfill the service. At the point of delivery, Buyer accepts or rejects the service using SMS, web or interactive voice call. If Buyer rejects the service, the Buyer if refunded and if the Buyer accepts, then the Seller is credited. To learn more, visit Why Escrow? How Does Escrow Work?
