Step 7: Prepare for Payment Verification​

After you send the payment, Peer will guide you through a secure verification step.

  • Follow the prompts shown in the order flow
  • Stay on the page until verification finishes

Step 8: Make and Confirm the Payment​

  • You'll see a QR code or payment instructions
  • Send the exact amount to the specified recipient through your payment platform
  • Make sure to use the correct currency (e.g., USD, EUR)
  • Do not perform cross-currency swaps (e.g., in Revolut), as this can cause verification issues and you may lose your money
  • Return to ZKP2P and click I have completed payment

Onramp Step 8

Step 9: Payment Verification Process​

  • You may be redirected to log in to the payment provider you chose
  • Follow the prompts so Peer can securely verify the payment
  • After verification, you will be redirected back to ZKP2P
PayPal: Pick your account type

If you paid with PayPal, before logging in you'll see a "PayPal account type" selector. Pick Personal or Business to match the account you used to send the payment. Picking the wrong type will cause verification to fail because Personal and Business PayPal use different login pages and payment data formats. Remember your choice so you can pick the same type if you re-verify.

Step 10: Select Your Payment for Verification​

If you have multiple payments in your payment platform:

  • The system will show your recent payments
  • Select the correct payment that matches your ZKP2P order
  • Click Verify Payment to continue
