How does it work?
In-person handover uses a secure system that helps secure the transaction.
For the buyer
- Meet the seller at the agreed location
- Check the item before confirming
- Open the order in the app
- Tap "Confirm receipt"
- A 4-digit PIN code appears — share it with the seller
For the seller
- Bring the item to the agreed location
- The buyer checks the item
- The buyer gives you their PIN code
- Enter the code in the app to confirm the handover
- You get paid
Why a PIN code?
The PIN code allows confirmation that:
- The buyer has actually received the item
- The seller has actually handed over the item
- This helps secure the transaction
Safety tips
- Choose a public place (train station, shopping center, cafe)
- Check the item before confirming in the app
- Only share the PIN code after you've checked the item
- If in doubt, don't confirm and contact support@covy.app
