How it works

Five steps from agreement to registrar control

A transparent domain escrow flow — both parties track transfer progress from funding through ownership verification to payment release.

Step 1

Agree on domain terms

Record the exact domain name(s), sale price, transfer method, registrar, and any website assets included before funding.

List every domain with correct spelling and extension
Specify push transfer or auth-code method upfront

Step 2

Buyer funds escrow

Payment is verified and held in a secured escrow account. The seller is notified that funds are secured before initiating transfer.

Both parties see the same transaction status
Seller proceeds only after funding is confirmed

Step 3

Seller initiates transfer

The seller pushes the domain or provides an auth code for transfer. Trustners tracks transfer status throughout the process.

Registrar push or EPP auth-code transfer
Timeline aligned with your inspection period

Step 4

Buyer verifies ownership

The buyer confirms registrar control, WHOIS accuracy, and — if applicable — website and DNS handoff during the inspection period.

WHOIS reflects buyer ownership before acceptance
Hosting and DNS verified for website sales

Step 5

Release payment

Once ownership is verified and accepted, Trustners releases funds to the seller. Every step is logged with a clear audit trail.

Buyer accepts or inspection period expires
Disputes pause release until terms are resolved
