Frequently asked questions
Everything buyers want to know about Tropic Trade.
How does the QR code handshake work for buyers?
After agreeing on a deal, you meet the seller in person at a convenient public location. Open the app and scan the seller’s unique QR code to verify the handoff. Both parties confirm simultaneously — no more “I paid but never got it” situations. It takes seconds and protects both sides.
How do I track my order after purchasing?
Every shipped purchase comes with a unique tracking number generated automatically in the app. You can follow your parcel in real time from dispatch all the way to your doorstep, all from your purchase tracking dashboard.
What happens if an item doesn’t arrive?
Tracking numbers give you full visibility from dispatch to delivery. If there’s an issue, our support team investigates every disputed transaction. Because every deal is verified through the app — either by QR handshake or tracking confirmation — there’s always a clear record of what happened.
How are sellers verified on Tropic Trade?
Every seller on Tropic Trade goes through an identity verification process before they can list items or services. Combined with community ratings and reviews on every completed deal, you always know exactly who you’re buying from.
Can I return an item if I’m not satisfied?
Returns are handled between buyers and sellers through the app’s secure messaging. We recommend inspecting items during the QR handshake for in-person deals. For shipped orders, tracking provides full visibility and our support team can mediate if issues arise.
