Getting Paid at a P2P Meetup
From Propose Meetup to handing over the item: agreeing on terms, the payment QR, and when it's safe to let go.
Updated Oct 15, 2026
1. Agree on the terms
Tap Propose Meetup on a listing or in a chat. Pick a date, time, and public place, plus the price and coin. The other person can accept the terms or send back different ones (negotiate) until you both agree.
Choose a busy, well-lit public spot. Many police stations and stores have safe-exchange zones.
2. At the meetup
- The seller opens the meetup and shows the payment QR. It already includes the address, the coin, and the exact amount.
- The buyer scans it with their wallet and sends.
- If part of the price is paid in cash, the seller logs the cash first so the QR only asks for what's left.
3. Wait for the app, not a screenshot
The app watches the blockchain and updates the payment status: received, how much, and how many . If the buyer sent too little, it shows the amount short so it can be topped up.
Hand over the item only after the app shows the payment. A "sent" screen on someone's phone is not proof.
If something goes wrong
Once a payment is in progress, the meetup can't simply be cancelled, because money may already be moving. Instead you can open a dispute. The app flags the trade, notifies the other person, and sends a report to support.
Key takeaways
- Agree on price, coin, time, and place in the app first.
- The payment QR has the exact amount; cash is logged first.
- Wait for the app to show the payment before handing over anything.
