Create the escrow around the money and return a signed receipt.
seller and nominal_buyer may be wallet addresses OR EMAIL ADDRESSES, exactly as inprepare_escrow_payment; an email converts to the same wallet it did there.
Works both ways, and which one runs is decided by whether you pass a signature:
**Already transferred it yourself** — omit authorization and signature. We check the
address holds the amount and build the escrow around what is there. If the transfer has not
arrived it says so, and nothing is spent finding out.
**Want us to relay it** — pass the payer's authorization and signature. We broadcast it
and pay the gas, so the payer needs none. This process holds no key and signs nothing; it
is handed a signature and carries it.
Pass the terms exactly as they were prepared. They ARE the escrow's address, so a single
altered figure moves it — and with a signature, stops matching what the payer signed.
seller and nominal_buyer may be wallet addresses or email addresses, as inprepare_escrow_payment; an email resolves to the same wallet it did there.
⚠️ external_id MUST BE THE ONE prepare_escrow_payment RETURNED. It generates one when
you leave it out, and that generated value is only knowable from its result — send a
different one and this derives a different address, while the money is at the first.
⚠️ The receipt reports what the seller will actually RECEIVE in token_amount, with the
platform fee named beside it. That is less than the amount authorised, and the two
reconcile: token_amount + creator_fee = amount.
Input schema
| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| seller | string | yes | Who gets paid: a wallet address (0x…) OR an email address. An email is converted to the wallet that person owns, created for them if they have never signed in; the same email always gives the same wallet. |
| amount | integer | yes | |
| expiry_timestamp | integer | yes | |
| external_id | string | yes | |
| nominal_buyer | string | yes | Who may dispute and receives any refund — the PERSON, not the agent: a wallet address (0x…) OR an email address. An email is converted to that person's wallet, created for them if they have never signed in. |
| authorization | any | no | |
| signature | any | no | |
| token_symbol | string | no | |
| description | string | no |
