Trustap can be accessed online by visiting the website or can be downloaded straight to your device from the App Store or Google Play Store.
To create a transaction you must first register for a Trustap account. You can register or login here and select ‘Create Transaction’ from the navigation panel. You will be prompted to answer two questions and fill out all transaction details. Once created, the other party is invited to join via a shared link.
The buyer then inputs their payment details, depositing the agreed amount into the Trustap Hold. The seller will see the funds have been lodged and subsequently transfer the item to the buyer. If the item is being transferred via courier or delivery service, the seller will be required to input the tracking information within the available time limit.
Once received, the 24-hour buyer complaints period begins. During this time, they can inspect the item, verifying its legitimacy. The funds are not released until after the complaints period has elapsed, ensuring you are satisfied with your new purchase. The money is then released from the Trustap Hold to the seller’s bank.
If the item arrives in poor condition, is not as described, or is fraudulent then the buyer has 24 hours to submit a complaint to Trustap. This can be done through the App or by emailing support@trustap.com. The buyer is then contacted by the customer support team to begin the arbitration process.
