SolarTraders currently offers two established payment methods:
Advance payment and our free escrow service.
Advance payment
You transfer the invoice amount directly to the seller before the goods are shipped.
This method is fast, straightforward, and widely used by experienced sellers.
Escrow service – secure & free of charge
Our escrow service provides additional payment security for orders starting from €2,500 – at no extra cost to you.
