Why We Use Escrow Holds
Custom woodworking takes time. Traditional storefronts demand full payment upfront, leaving buyers exposed to risk if a shop faces backlogs, quality degradation, or supply issues. Similarly, makers face unpaid custom invoices if buyers change their minds mid-build.
FURRT resolves this. The hold confirms to the maker that funds are locked, while guaranteeing the buyer that their money will not leave escrow until the piece is delivered and verified.
