It’s widely used for secure and fast money transfers within Canada and is facilitated through participating Canadian banks and financial institutions.

How a Transaction Works

Kweeqpay enables secure, transparent transactions between buyers and sellers by creating a structured process with clear milestones and accountability. Below is an overview of how the transaction flow works on our platform:

4.1. Initiating a Secure Transaction Session

Either the buyer or seller begins the process by creating a secure transaction session on the Kweeqpay platform. During this step, the following details must be provided:

  • Agreed transaction amount
  • Terms of the trade (e.g., condition of item, delivery timelines, etc.)
  • Supporting media (e.g., images of the product or service)
  • Beneficiary email (to invite the counterparty)

Once submitted, Kweeqpay generates a secure transaction invitation link that can be shared with the other party.

4.2. Buyer Makes Payment

After both parties accept the transaction session, the buyer is prompted to make payment. Payment is not processed within the Kweeqpay platform. Instead, the buyer will receive an Interac Request Money notification, allowing them to complete the transfer directly through their bank or mobile banking app.

4.3. Payment Confirmation

Once payment is received via Interac, Kweeqpay confirms receipt to both parties. At this point, the funds are securely held while awaiting fulfillment of the transaction terms.

4.4. Seller Delivers Product or Service

Following payment confirmation, the seller can proceed to fulfill the transaction:

  • For physical goods: the seller ships the product.
  • For services: the seller begins or completes delivery of the service.

If a registered courier service is used, Kweeqpay will track the delivery and provide real-time updates to both buyer and seller through the transaction dashboard.

4.5. Delivery and Buyer Review

Upon confirmation of delivery by the courier or manual update, both parties are notified. The buyer then has up to 24 hours to inspect the product or service and take one of the following actions:

  • Confirm and Release Payment: If satisfied, the buyer inputs their secure 4-digit PIN to authorize payout to the seller.
  • Initiate a Dispute: If the buyer identifies an issue, they can raise a dispute within the platform. This triggers our dispute resolution process, during which funds remain securely held until resolution is achieved.

Pricing Policy

5.1. Transaction Fees As a platform, Kweeqpay charges a non-refundable transaction fee for every transaction processed through our platform. This fee is paid by the buyer and is added to the final transaction price. The fee structure is as follows: See Pricing page for the full breakdown of our pricing.

5.2. Fee Calculation and Transparency Before completing any transaction, the exact transaction fee will be displayed to the buyer for review. By proceeding with the transaction, the buyer acknowledges and agrees to the fee as presented.

5.3. Non-Refundable Fees All transaction fees are non-refundable, even in cases where a transaction is canceled or disputed, unless otherwise determined by Kweeqpay at its sole discretion.

5.4. Unmatched Deposits If a user deposits funds into our accounts without initiating a corresponding transaction on the KweeqPay platform, the deposit will be deemed unmatched. Such unmatched deposits will be reversed to the originating account, less a $3.00 processing fee to cover administrative and transaction costs. We strongly advise users to initiate a transaction before making any deposit to avoid unnecessary fees or delays.

5.5. Updates to Pricing Policy Kweeqpay reserves the right to modify the transaction fee structure at any time. Any changes to the pricing policy will be communicated through email notification, and updates to this section of the terms and conditions, and will take effect immediately for new transactions processed thereafter.

Transactions

Kweeqpay supports two types of transactions, each tailored to meet the specific needs of our users. These are categorized as “Service” and “Products” transactions, with various subgroups to address the nature of the transaction and delivery method.

7.1. Service Transactions

Service transactions involve payments for non-tangible items or services, such as:

  • Rental deposits
  • Web design services
  • Event or concert tickets
  • Other non-physical services

Service transactions can occur under the following subgroups:

  • Seller-Initiated Transaction: In this scenario, the seller initiates the transaction by creating a payment request and sending it to the buyer for approval and completion.
  • Buyer-Initiated Transaction: Here, the buyer initiates the transaction by requesting the service and making a payment to secure it.

7.2. Product Transactions

Product transactions involve payments for tangible goods requiring physical delivery, such as:

  • Electronics
  • Clothing
  • Furniture
  • Other physical products

Product transactions can occur under the following subgroups:

  • Seller-Initiated Transaction: The seller creates a payment request and provides product details, which the buyer approves and completes.
  • Buyer-Initiated Transaction: The buyer initiates the transaction by making a payment and requesting product delivery.

7.3. Delivery and In-Person Transactions

Both Service and Product transactions can further be classified based on the agreed method of exchange:

  • In-Person Transactions:
      In these transactions, both parties agree to meet in person to complete the exchange.Kweeq[ay facilitates the secure transfer of funds while ensuring compliance with agreed terms but does not provide tracking for in-person exchanges.
  • Courier Transactions:
      • For transactions involving tangible products, courier services may be used to deliver items.Kweeqpay provides 
    real-time tracking
       of courier deliveries through our platform, offering transparency and accountability to both buyers and sellers.Top of FormBottom of Form

 

Courier and Delivery

8.1 Shipment Tracking

For transactions involving courier delivery, buyers can track their shipments in real-time to monitor their delivery progress.

8.2. Who covers delivery costs?

We recommend that sellers cover the delivery cost, as buyers already bear the transaction fee. Sellers are also responsible for inputting the courier service’s tracking number. We have access to major courier companies and can track shipments from over 300 courier companies, ensuring reliable and efficient delivery services.

8.3. Delivery Responsibility and Support

Until delivery confirmation, the seller is responsible for the item. If a shipment is delayed despite evidence of being sent, the seller must contact the courier for resolution.

We supports this process, keeping both parties informed. However, we do not directly engage with couriers as we act solely as the secure intermediary, not the seller.

If, after a reasonable period, it becomes apparent that the buyer is unlikely to receive the item, we may, at our discretion and after informing the seller, refund the buyer.

In such cases, we advise the seller to seek compensation directly from the courier or delivery company. However, we do not assist in this process. Therefore, we strongly recommend that sellers use reliable courier services, require the recipient’s signature upon delivery, and review the compensation policy of the chosen service.

Damaged Items During Transit

If a buyer notices that an item was damaged during transit, they should refuse delivery and immediately dispute the transaction through the kweeqpay platform. Upon confirmation with the delivery company, and seller, we will process a refund, deducting the non-refundable escrow fee.

In cases where the buyer has already accepted the delivery, they should initiate a dispute claim promptly to begin an investigation. Please refer to our 24-hour confirmation period article for detailed instructions.

If we determines that the buyer is entitled to a refund, less the Buyer Protection fee, we advise the seller to directly seek compensation from the courier or delivery company.

24-hour confirmation period

We’ve incorporated a 24-hour confirmation period into our platform, to safeguard the interests of both buyers and sellers. This period provides buyers and sellers with a medium to confirm or resolve any potential issues that may arise after the delivery of an item or service.

To protect buyers’ interests, we offer a 24-hour confirmation period after the delivery of an item or service, allowing them to confirm the product or service delivered.

Buyers can dispute a transaction through the Kweeqpay platform for one of the following reasons:

  • They have received an item or service that is damaged, does not work, or does not match the description or agreement made with the seller.
  • The item or service has been confirmed as delivered or handed over in the app, and the transaction has progressed to the confirmation period, but they do not agree with the delivery or handover confirmation.

It’s important to note that we are not the merchant for your transaction, instead, we serve as a trust layer safeguarding the transaction process. Filing a complaint within this period is crucial to initiate the dispute process and ensure appropriate action can be taken.

10.1 How to Initiate a Dispute.

To initiate a dispute, log in to your Kweeqpay account and navigate to the active transactions section. Select the transaction you wish to dispute, and then choose the “dispute transaction” option. You will be prompted to provide as much detail as possible about the issue. Once you submit the request, it will be sent to our support team for review. The seller will also be notified of the dispute

By filing a dispute through this process, the transaction is automatically paused, and the funds are frozen until a resolution is made. If a buyer fails to file their dispute within the 24-hour confirmation period, the funds will be released to the seller automatically, at this point, we can no longer be held liable for the funds.

It is essential to gather evidence, such as screenshots, or photos, to support your dispute request. This evidence will allow our support team to assess the situation and make a fair decision

10.2 What happens next after a dispute is initiated?

Upon receiving a disputed transaction, our team will carefully analyze the provided evidence from both parties. We aim to resolve disputes within three business days, though more complex cases may require additional time. Buyers are expected to respond to our follow-up emails promptly and may be asked to provide relevant communication with the seller and supporting evidence, such as screenshots,or photos.

As a seller, you will be notified within the kweeqpay platform or contacted by our team. You are required to be responsive and provide the information requested. Maintaining transaction records, proof of postage, delivery or handover, and any evidence supporting your case, including communication with the buyer and relevant documentation, is crucial.

Kweeq always seeks to resolve complaints amicably by assisting both parties to reach an agreement. However, if no amicable solution can be found, Kweeq will request both parties to submit all evidence to support their claim. Our dispute team will then make a final, unbiased decision based on the evidence provided.

We stress the significance of transparent communication, timely complaint filing, and providing supporting evidence to facilitate a seamless dispute resolution process. Buyers can safeguard their interests by familiarizing themselves with the complaint period and following the required steps, while sellers can engage in a fair resolution process. Our commitment is to provide a secure environment and efficiently address complaints to uphold trust and integrity in online transactions.

10.3 How we handle “qualitative” disputes at scale

We focus on structured resolution, not subjective judgment. Our process relies on three key data points:

Agreement Evidence: what both parties agreed to upfront.

Delivery Evidence: what the seller submitted (proof of shipment, photos, etc.).

Dispute Evidence : what the buyer provides when raising an issue.

This framework allows us to objectively assess disputes, minimize operational load, and build toward automation.

In addition, we’re implementing a Trust Score system that tracks dispute frequency and patterns.

Users who consistently raise or attract disputes will be flagged and eventually offboarded to maintain platform integrity and protect genuine users.

Returns of physical items

If a formal complaint investigation results in a decision to refund the buyer and the goods can potentially be returned, we will inform the seller via email of our final decision before processing any refund.

The seller will be asked if they wish to arrange for the return of the goods. If the seller requests a return, they must provide the necessary information for the buyer to return the item via a registered courier, ensuring an official tracking number is associated with the delivery.

Returns tracking will occur via our app as usual, and once the item is confirmed delivered by the seller, refunds minus the protection fee will be released to the buyer. We are not responsible for any return costs except at our sole discretion.

If the seller opts out of a return, the refund, minus the non-refundable Buyer Protection fee, will be issued to the buyer immediately.

Cancelling a payment on Kweeqpay

A Buyer cannot cancel a payment once it has been accepted by a seller. However, when certain conditions are met (details below), the Buyer or the Seller can cancel the entire transaction. When a transaction is canceled, the funds are returned to the Buyer, less the non-refundable transaction fee

Circumstances in which a transaction can be canceled:

Before the transaction has been accepted by the seller: As long as the transaction has not been joined and accepted by the seller, buyers can cancel the transaction, and receive refunds less the non-refundable transaction fee.

Before an item has been marked as shipped: In certain cases, transactions can be canceled if the seller confirms items haven’t been shipped and accepts the cancellation request from the buyer.

Before funds have been committed to secure the trust by the buyer

Seller declines transaction invitation
