Like Alibaba Trade Assurance Payments for Global Clients
Duolan provides step-by-step escrow services for new clients or high-value orders, ensuring secure, transparent, and milestone-aligned payments. The process integrates seamlessly into production workflows, giving both parties financial security and production accountability.
Operational Workflow:

- Sample Approval: Once Duolan produces the first sample batch, it is sent for client review. Upon approval, the escrow releases the next 30–40% of funds.
- Material Sourcing & Production: After materials are sourced and bulk production is underway, the client can verify QC logs and photos before releasing next payment.
- Pre-Shipment Confirmation: Before final shipping, Duolan provides photos, QC reports, and FBA-ready packaging documentation. Client confirms compliance, and escrow releases the final balance.
- Transaction Records: Every step is logged with transaction IDs, date/time stamps, and milestone completion notes, ensuring full traceability and audit readiness.
