Escrow mode explained
In Escrow mode, Keepface holds campaign budget between acceptance and approval. Structured dispute window protects both sides. Mid-fee, mid-friction.
Mechanics
- Money, locked from your wallet at influencer acceptance
- Approval, you approve → escrow releases. Or auto-releases after 7 days of silence
- Dispute, structured 7-day window, Keepface mediates per the dispute resolution policy
- Fees, mid-tier (typically 10-15%)
Best for
- New influencer relationships
- Higher-budget campaigns where escrow’s protection is worth the fee
- Multi-deliverable campaigns
- Brands needing audit-friendly proof of payment for internal accounting
Trade-offs
- You pre-fund the wallet (escrow lock requires balance)
- Slightly slower than Self because of the structured approval step
- Mediation timeline if disputes happen (5 business days typical)
