Algorithmic Matchmaking
All audit trails, timestamps, and milestone criteria are signed cryptographically and persisted to your audit ledger.
The 4 Pillars of Shiperfly Protection
Eliminating counterparty default, quality disputes, and logistics blind spots.
Stripe-Backed Escrow Custody
Buyer funds and supplier disbursements are held in secure, institutional-grade custody accounts. Zero risk of upfront capital loss.
Physical Factory Audits
We verify corporate registry, physical machinery, and export licenses on the ground. No paper trading middlemen or phantom factories.
Satellite AIS Telemetry
Direct integration with 2M, Ocean Alliance, and air carriers for real-time cargo tracking from container loading to customs clearance.
ICC Incoterms 2026 Compliant
Standardized contract rules (FOB, CIF, DDP) legally eliminate ambiguity in cargo insurance, export duties, and transfer of title.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our sourcing, escrow protection, and logistics workflows.
When an order is created, the buyer deposits funds into a Stripe-powered segregated escrow account. The funds are locked and can neither be withdrawn by the buyer arbitrarily nor pocketed by the supplier. Funds are only disbursed according to contractually verified milestones: typically 30% upon raw materials procurement, and 70% only after a certified pre-shipment AQL 2.5 inspection pass and verified bill-of-lading issuance.
