What is the best payment service for escrow type payments?

We are building a service that will allow users to pay each other and we get a percentage. So we need to store the money until service is rendered and then distribute the money.

If you are familiar with airbnb, its a similar payment model but not the same industry.

What is the best service to integrate with for this?



You're going to need to be PCI compliant either way, so you might as well store the payment in escrow internally. At least make a few cents of interest.


If we pass the card over to a service and let them do everything we wont have to be, will we?

At least thats the type of service i'm looking for.
