Handling Verification Issues as a Buyer

Understanding the Verification Process

When you buy USDC or crypto through ZKP2P, Peer tries to automatically verify your payment. Sometimes verification can fail due to various reasons:

  • You were logged out of the payment provider
  • The payment you selected does not match the order amount, recipient, currency, or timestamp
  • Technical issues with the payment platform

Step-by-Step: What to Do When Verification Fails

Try Again First

  1. Click the retry button shown in the order flow
  2. Wait 30 seconds for another verification attempt
  3. Sometimes a simple retry solves the issue

Check Your Payment Provider

  1. Make sure you are logged in to the payment provider you used
  2. Confirm the payment is visible in your provider account
  3. If prompted, select the exact payment that matches your ZKP2P order
  4. For PayPal, make sure you chose the correct account type: Personal or Business

Contact Support

If verification continues to fail after multiple attempts:

Send the following info to support:

  • Your order ID or transaction details
  • Screenshot of your payment receipt/confirmation
  • Your wallet address
  • How much you are expected to pay and receive

Be Patient

  • The seller may not respond immediately
  • Do not cancel your payment through your payment platform while waiting

What to Expect When Contacting a Seller

  • The seller will ask you to verify details about your payment
  • They may request additional screenshots or information
  • Once they confirm your payment, they'll manually release the funds
  • The process can take some time, depending on the seller's availability
