Your money doesn’t moveuntil the work does.
Four states.
One direction.
An order cannot skip a state and cannot run backwards. That is the whole guarantee — everything else is detail.
Typical settlement
T+1
after delivery is confirmed
Agree the scope
Price, deliverable and timeline are written into the order before any money is involved. Both sides sign off on the same thing, so there is nothing to argue about later.
Pay into custody
The buyer pays the full amount through a licensed payment aggregator. It lands in a regulated escrow account — not in DoorPay’s pocket, and no longer in the buyer’s.
Deliver the work
The seller can see the money is already secured before starting. No deposit chasing, no half-payments, no ghosting risk on either side.
Release the funds
Once delivery is confirmed, we release the amount to the seller’s bank account. If something goes wrong instead, the money is still sitting where it started.
Where your money actually sits
A single ₹42,000 order, from the buyer’s bank to the seller’s.
The buyer pays
The full amount is paid through a licensed payment aggregator — PhonePe or Cashfree. DoorPay never touches the card or UPI leg of the transaction.
DoorPay locks it
The amount settles into a regulated escrow account. From there it can only ever move to the seller. DoorPay cannot withdraw it, spend it or lend it out.
The seller delivers
Work is delivered against the scope both sides agreed to. The seller starts knowing the money already exists and is already committed.
DoorPay releases
On confirmation, the amount is released to the seller’s bank account. We decide when funds move. We never hold the funds themselves.
DoorPay is a controller of timing, not a holder of money
Licensed aggregators
Every rupee is collected by regulated entities authorised by the RBI to process payments. DoorPay is not in that path.
Regulated escrow account
Held funds sit in a dedicated escrow account. It is structurally incapable of paying anyone except the seller on the order.
We control flow, not funds
DoorPay’s only power is timing — whether the release condition has been met. The balance is never ours to move elsewhere.
Built around the hold
Custody is the core of the product. Everything here exists to make it something you can run a business on.
Bank-grade custody
Funds sit in a regulated escrow account behind 256-bit encryption. Nobody — including us — can move them anywhere except to the seller on the order.
Same-day release
Once delivery is confirmed, the release is queued immediately and settles T+1 to the seller’s bank. No manual ticket, no week of waiting.
Verified counterparties
KYC runs on both sides before an order can be created, so you know who is on the other end of the deal before your money is involved.
State notifications
Both parties are notified on every state change — paid, held, delivered, released. Nobody has to ask where things stand.
REST API & webhooks
Put custody inside your own product. Full API access, webhooks for every state change, sandbox keys and complete docs.
