Money Protection
Your Money Stays Safe Until Equipment Arrives
Every A-Shopper purchase is protected by built-in Money Protection. You never pay a vendor directly, funds are held until you confirm delivery, and vendors ship knowing payment is locked in.
Locked until you confirm
Funds stay protected from payment to release.
- Never pay a vendor directly
- Payment locked until delivery confirmation
