Use Case · Account Transfers

Change the password before money moves.

Selling a SaaS micro-app, a domain, or a Shopify store? Buyer rotates credentials and verifies metrics before funds release. Seller protected against chargebacks. 7-day inspection window.

Holdy supports transfers only where the underlying platform's terms allow it (e.g. SaaS account ownership transfers, domain transfers). Both parties are responsible for checking the platform's ToS before listing.

Inside a Commit Link

A micro-acquisition with a paper trail.

Every asset on the listing, Stripe account, repo, domain, customer list, becomes a hashed deliverable line. The buyer must accept every item before Stripe releases. No "I never got the analytics export" disputes.

  • Funds Stripe-held the moment the buyer accepts
  • Buyer rotates email + password + 2FA before payout
  • 7-day inspection, dispute or auto-release

Three things that go wrong

Why "just wire me" deals end in tears.

01

Account "recovered" three days after sale

You paid, got the login, started onboarding customers. On day three the seller hits "forgot password" with the old recovery email, locks you out and disappears with both your money and the asset.

Holdy fix: rotating email + password + 2FA is a hashed deliverable. Funds don't release until the buyer confirms ownership transfer is complete and irreversible.

02

The "real" MRR was 40% lower

Listing said £1,840 MRR. After login you see the actual subscribed seats, count failed renewals, and find 30% of customers are €1 grandfathered legacy users. You overpaid, but the seller is "happy to discuss after the wire clears."

Holdy fix: 7-day inspection window. You hold the Stripe dashboard for a week before accepting. Numbers off? File a dispute, funds stay frozen.

03

The buyer chargebacks after taking over

You transferred everything cleanly. Six weeks later your bank claws back €18k, the buyer told their card issuer it was "fraudulent" and you have no acceptance trail to defend with.

Holdy fix: the buyer signs an acceptance event in Stripe. Funds land in your account only after this. Chargeback risk drops to near-zero, and if it happens, Holdy has the signed evidence trail.

Any transfer-allowed asset

Holdy does not facilitate transfers of accounts on platforms whose terms prohibit account sales (e.g. most major social networks). Always check the platform's ToS before listing.

Sell the account. Keep the money.

Buyer rotates credentials and verifies metrics before Stripe releases funds. Zero chargeback exposure. Move €40k SaaS deals as safely as a €40 invoice.
