Risk warning. Crypto is volatile and trading involves risk, including the loss of your capital. Past performance does not guarantee future results. This content is educational and is not financial advice.
Fraudsters show fake "payment sent" screenshots. Train yourself and your staff to confirm on your side.
The rule
Don't hand over goods until Coinwaka shows the payment as confirmed in your merchant dashboard.
Checklist
- ✅ The payment appears in your Coinwaka Pay history, not just the customer's phone.
- ✅ The amount matches.
- ✅ The status is confirmed, not pending.
- ❌ A screenshot is not confirmation.
- ❌ "It's still processing, trust me" is not confirmation.
A few seconds of checking prevents losses.
