Cash purchase confirmation

Cash purchase confirmation lets buyers and sellers verify an in-person cash deal after it happens. The confirmation code links the transaction to the correct listing so the buyer can leave a review and the seller can keep the transaction history accurate.

​
What the confirmation code does

A confirmation code is a short, one-time code tied to a specific listing and seller. When a buyer redeems it:
  • the cash purchase is marked as confirmed
  • the buyer can continue to the review flow
  • the transaction can count toward trust and reputation systems

​
For buyers

​
How to confirm a cash purchase

  1. Ask the seller for their confirmation code or QR code after the sale is completed
  2. Open Confirm Purchase
  3. Sign in if prompted
  4. Enter the code manually or open the shared confirmation link
  5. Confirm the purchase
  6. Leave a review right away, or come back later by opening that seller’s profile and using the Reviews and feedback section to enter the seller’s confirmation code
The code is meant for completed cash transactions only. If you do not leave a review right away, you can go to the seller’s profile page later and use the Reviews and feedback section to enter that seller’s confirmation code. This entry point is available on both seller organization profiles and individual user profiles.

​
Where to start

You can confirm from places such as:
  • a shared confirmation link or QR code from the seller
  • the Have a confirmation code? prompt on a seller or member profile
  • the Confirm Purchase screen in the app

​
For sellers

​
When to generate a code

Generate a code only after the cash transaction is complete and you are ready for the buyer to confirm it. The code can be shared as:
  • a short code
  • a QR code
  • a deep link that opens the confirmation screen

​
What happens after the buyer redeems it

After redemption:
  • the buyer can leave a seller review
  • the confirmed transaction can support trust and reputation updates
  • seller-side buyer feedback can be tied to a verified transaction path where applicable

​
Important details

  • Codes are tied to one listing and one seller
  • Codes are intended for a single buyer claim
  • Codes expire, so old codes may stop working
  • You must be signed in to redeem a code
  • Sellers cannot redeem their own code

​
If the code does not work

The most common reasons are:
  • the code was typed incorrectly
  • the code expired
  • the code was already claimed
  • you are signed in with the wrong account
If that happens, ask the seller to verify the listing and provide a current code if the transaction is eligible.

​
After confirmation

Once the purchase is confirmed, you can continue to Reviews & reputation to leave a review.
