2. Transactions

The Transactions tab allows you to monitor and manage all your active and completed domain sales directly from the WordPress admin panel — without needing to log in to your Escrow.com account repeatedly.

This feature integrates securely with your connected Escrow.com account, automatically fetching and displaying your transaction data in real-time.

Overview #

Each transaction entry includes key information such as:

• ID – The unique Escrow.com transaction ID.
• Title – The domain name involved in the sale.
• Created – The date and time the transaction was created.
• Amount – The total transaction amount (in your account’s currency).
• Status – Current transaction stage (e.g., Awaiting Payment Arrival, Awaiting Delivery, Inspection, Closed).

When you click on a transaction, detailed information will appear below, including:

1. Transaction Summary
   • Displays the domain name, transaction ID, buyer’s email, total amount, and inspection period.
   • Shows a clear status tracker with the five Escrow process stages:

     3. Domain Transfer
     4. Inspection
     5. Closed
2. Status Tracker Bar
   • Highlights the current phase of your transaction.

Filters and Navigation #

• All / Action Required / Open / Closed Tabs – Quickly switch between transaction types.
• Search Bar – Search by transaction ID, domain name, or buyer email.
• Pagination & Per Page Control – Easily navigate through multiple pages of transactions.

Why This Matters #

The Transactions page makes it easy to:

• View all domain sales handled via Escrow.com in one central location.
• Track buyer payments and transfer progress without leaving WordPress.
• Save time by eliminating frequent Escrow.com logins.
• Maintain transparency for accounting and reporting purposes.

💼 Admin Workflow Example #

Here’s a typical workflow for managing transactions efficiently:

1. Check for New or Pending Transactions
   • Go to Domain for Sale → Transactions and review the latest entries.
   • Focus first on items marked Requires Your Action or Awaiting Delivery.
2. Resend Payment Confirmation (if delayed)
   • If a buyer’s payment is pending longer than expected, verify on Escrow.com or contact the buyer if necessary.
3. Complete Domain Transfer
   • Once payment is confirmed, initiate domain transfer from your registrar.
   • Update the transaction to reflect delivery (Escrow.com updates this automatically).
4. Monitor Inspection Period
   • Allow the buyer’s inspection period to complete (typically 3–7 days).
   • If any issues arise, coordinate directly through Escrow.com.
5. Verify Closure
   • Once the inspection is complete and Escrow releases funds, the transaction will automatically move to Closed.

✅ Tip: Always verify that your Escrow.com API credentials are correctly configured in
Domain for Sale → Settings → Payments to ensure transactions sync automatically.
