What's the P2P Merchant Program?
The Merchant Program is specially curated for the community of experienced crypto P2P users who are set to provide crypto liquidity in the marketplace. Merchants get to enjoy zero fees when they trade, and the higher tier you're at, the more benefits you'll reap.
What are the available tiers in Merchant Program?
This program consists of three tiers, which are Lite, Super and Diamond Merchant:
Higher merchant tiers enjoy more benefits and features
Users that have completed their verification will become Lite Makers, which can enjoy access to basic features such as posting sell ads, having up to 5 pending orders, and trading up to 10,000 USD per sell ad.
If you're active in the P2P marketplace, becoming Super and Diamond Merchants would elevate your P2P trading experiences, such as unlocking access to more features and higher transaction limits. Compare the benefits here.
