Handshake

How payment works

Trusted partners for payment and shipping — never processed inside Handshake.

Why third-party

Discovery here. Money and transport elsewhere.

Handshake is for listings and connection. When you're ready to pay or ship, we point you to specialists who already do that well.

Escrow and payment platforms are built for secure fund holding — we stay out of the transaction.

Shipping partners handle quotes, carriers, insurance, and delivery schedules on their sites.

Affiliate partners are managed by admins and can update without redeploying the marketplace.

Payment partners

Continue on the partner site to start escrow or payment — Handshake never holds funds.

Escrow.com

Warranty partners

Extended warranties and protection plans are sold by third parties — Handshake never sells or underwrites coverage.

Endurance

Explore third-party vehicle protection plans. You will be redirected to learn about coverage and purchase on their site — we never sell warranties.

Shipping partners

Request quotes and book transport directly with shipping specialists.

uShip

Compare auto transport quotes and book shipping with trusted carriers. You will be redirected to arrange shipping on their site.

Find a car first — payment and shipping come when you and the seller are ready.
