Unlike a normal transfer, an escrow transfer specifies some additional fields. An escrow payment facilitates trade among two or more parties with the potential for dispute resolution. When a user makes a payment via escrow the escrow agent receives a fee regardless of whether or not a dispute was raised. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
