Trade Page Lite

Paxful has created a simpler and smarter approach to trades with Trade Page Lite. Now you can trade without time-consuming trade chats. It becomes possible as the most important trade instructions and requirements are now part of the trade process itself.

The requirements, which affect the trade flow directly, are chosen by the seller of cryptocurrency during the offer creation process. Here is an overview of the feature:

Creating an offer

With the simplified version, you go through a similar process as with the classic version. However, you have additional payment-specific requirements to choose from. Chat is avoided as trade instructions and requirements are integrated into the trade flow. Here is an example of such a process with a PayPal offer:

1. Start creating an offer to sell your cryptocurrency as usual.

2. Select PayPal as a payment method.

A new section appears below the list of payment methods.

3. Click Lite Trade to apply an automated trade flow for your offer. A list of options appears below.

4. Select the ID proofs you want to request from the buyer.

5. Scroll below and tick the Proof of Payment box if you want the buyer to upload proof of payment during the trade process.

6. Type in your email in the Your PayPal email field.

7. Proceed with the offer creation flow as usual.

Note: If you do not accept proof, click Reject. The user will try to upload a new file.
