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.

How does it work?

Step

Explanation

1. Submit inquiry

You send a request for the product you are interested in.

2. Choose payment

After accepting an offer, you choose between advance payment and escrow.

3. Make the transfer

You transfer the amount to SolarTraders’ escrow account at a German bank.

4. Seller ships goods

Once we confirm receipt of payment, the seller dispatches the goods.

5. Release payment

You confirm delivery – only then is the payment forwarded to the seller.
