Introduction

Ecommerce platforms have always been very beneficial in terms of wider access to goods. Despite its many advantages there exist challenges that plague online transactions which include data security, lack of trust and payment disputes. To confront these challenges, this study presents an application that leverages principles of blockchain technology and escrow services to create a secure, trustworthy ecommerce marketplace. Addressing the inherent challenges ultimately enhances user confidence and mitigates potential risks. The methodology involves designing an intuitive application that integrates escrow services, securely holding the buyer's payment until both parties reach an agreement. Smart contracts powered by blockchain which define the conditions for releasing the funds from escrow to the seller upon successful delivery and buyer approval; will also be developed.
