Payment protection

Payment protection with Lalaaji

Buying across borders means wiring money to a factory you have never visited, and selling means shipping to a buyer you have never met. We sit in the middle: the buyer pays Lalaaji, we hold the funds, and the supplier gets paid only when the order is fulfilled as agreed. Nobody carries the risk alone.

How does payment protection work on Lalaaji?

The buyer pays Lalaaji, we hold the funds, and the factory is paid once the delivered order matches what was agreed. Every buyer passes a KYC check before an order starts.

Buyer verification · Before any order begins, every buyer is fully verified through our Know Your Customer (KYC) process. Fraudsters do not get past the front door.
Secure payments · Once the order is confirmed, the buyer transfers the payment to Lalaaji. We hold the funds securely, protecting both buyer and supplier from risk.
Buyer protection · Funds remain safely in our custody until the supplier fulfills the order according to the agreed terms. Neither party needs to worry about upfront risk or payment delays.
Scheduled release · Payments are released in accordance with the payment schedule attached to the order. Whether it’s milestone-based or on delivery, money moves only when conditions are met.
