Every payment on PropertyScan is processed via Stripe — the world's most trusted payment infrastructure. Funds are captured securely and only released to verified sourcers once payment is fully confirmed.
From reservation to payout, every step of the payment process is handled by Stripe's regulated payment infrastructure.
When an investor clicks 'Reserve This Deal', they are taken to a secure Stripe Checkout page. At this point, no money has left their account.
The investor completes payment via Stripe. Funds are captured by Stripe's secure payment infrastructure — not stored by PropertyScan. Stripe holds the payment in the platform account.
Stripe sends a verified webhook event to PropertyScan confirming the payment was successful. Only at this point is the deal marked as sold and the deal pack made available.
Once confirmed, PropertyScan automatically initiates a Stripe Connect transfer of the net sourcing fee (80%) directly to the sourcer's verified bank account. This typically arrives within 2–3 business days.
Every investor payment is backed by Stripe's PCI DSS Level 1 payment security — and our own verification and dispute resolution systems.
All payments are processed by Stripe, which is PCI DSS Level 1 compliant — the highest level of payment security certification. Your card details are never stored by PropertyScan.
Deal packs and full property details are only unlocked after payment is fully confirmed. There is no scenario where you pay and receive nothing.
If a deal cannot complete after payment, you can request a refund through PropertyScan. Stripe's payment dispute process provides an additional layer of protection.
You can only pay sourcers who have passed our full AML and PRS verification. You are never sending money to an unverified or anonymous party.
The exact amount you pay — including sourcing fee, buyer protection fee, and VAT — is displayed before you confirm payment. No hidden charges.
Every payment generates a Stripe payment reference that appears in your purchases dashboard. Full transaction history is always available.
When a deal completes, your payout is triggered automatically and sent directly to your verified bank account — no chasing, no delays, no risk.
When a deal completes, your payout is triggered automatically via Stripe Connect — no chasing invoices, no waiting for manual bank transfers.
Your net payout (80% of the sourcing fee) is transferred directly to the bank account connected to your Stripe Express account. PropertyScan does not hold your funds.
Your bank account details are held securely by Stripe, not PropertyScan. Stripe's Express onboarding verifies your identity before any payouts are enabled.
Once a deal is reserved and payment initiated, the deal is locked and cannot be reserved by another investor — protecting your sourcing fee from double-reservation.
Payment Infrastructure
Stripe processes hundreds of billions of dollars annually for millions of businesses worldwide. As a Stripe partner, PropertyScan leverages the same payment infrastructure used by Amazon, Google, and Shopify.
PropertyScan uses Stripe's payment infrastructure which captures and holds funds in a manner functionally similar to escrow during the payment confirmation window. Funds are not released to the sourcer until the payment is fully confirmed by Stripe's webhook system. We describe this as 'escrow-protected' to reflect the security model, though it is technically a Stripe platform payment rather than a formal escrow arrangement.
In the rare event that a deal is reserved by another investor at the same moment your payment processes, you will be issued a full refund. Our system uses atomic database locks to prevent this, but if it occurs, Stripe's refund process is initiated immediately.
Stripe Connect payouts typically arrive in the sourcer's bank account within 2–3 business days of payment confirmation. The exact timing depends on the sourcer's bank and Stripe's payout schedule.
No. Card details are handled entirely by Stripe's PCI-compliant infrastructure. PropertyScan only sees a Stripe payment intent ID — never your card number, expiry, or CVV.
Stripe Connect is Stripe's multi-party payment platform that allows marketplaces to facilitate payments between buyers and sellers. It handles KYC verification of sourcers, payment splitting, and direct payouts — all within Stripe's regulated infrastructure.
The 5% buyer protection fee covers PropertyScan's compliance infrastructure, deal verification processes, Stripe payment processing costs, messaging and dispute resolution systems, and customer support. It ensures the marketplace remains sustainable and trusted.
Every deal on PropertyScan is backed by Stripe's secure payment infrastructure and our buyer protection framework.
PropertyScan uses Stripe for payment processing. 'Escrow Protected' refers to the secure capture and controlled release of funds via Stripe's platform payment infrastructure. This is not a regulated escrow or client money arrangement.
