Rolling out by region
How marketplace payments work on Safegram
When you buy or sell on Safegram, the money moves through Stripe Connect — a regulated payments platform used by marketplaces worldwide. That means a traceable transaction, a real refund path and payouts to a verified seller's own bank account, instead of a payment link from a stranger.
Safer than direct payment links
Stripe Connect keeps transactions inside a known payments system rather than via ad-hoc payment links or transfers — reducing one of the most common scam patterns in online marketplaces.
Where it's available
In-app payments open region by region and listing type by listing type. Where they are not yet switched on, the app guides you through safer ways to complete a deal in person.
Fees
Where Stripe Connect is used, Safegram applies its 10% platform fee on relevant transactions; standard Stripe processing fees also apply.
