How Udega Safe Payments Work

Udega keeps every student transaction structured, verified, and recorded — from checkout to payout.

The Transaction Flow — Step by Step

Step 1 — Buyer Places an Order

The buyer checks out through Udega and pays a 20% deposit up front. The item is immediately reserved.

Step 2 — Item Is Reserved

Udega records the order and the listing is marked as reserved. Both buyer and seller prepare for meetup.

Step 3 — Meetup on Campus

Buyer and seller meet in person at a safe, public location on campus.

Step 4 — QR Confirmation

Both users scan the QR code to confirm the handoff, creating a verified record of the exchange.

Step 5 — Final Payment Completes

After QR confirmation, the remaining 80% is automatically charged to the buyer.

Step 6 — Seller Becomes Eligible for Payout

The seller's payout status is updated after the transaction is complete and processed.

Why Safe Payments Are Better

Verified student accounts. Structured on-platform payments. Full transaction records. Clear dispute handling.

If Something Goes Wrong

If a buyer cancels before meetup, the deposit is refunded and the listing becomes available again. If there is a dispute, Udega reviews the transaction details and available evidence.

Important Notes

Udega facilitates transactions through the platform. Buyers and sellers should meet in public campus locations. Users must follow platform rules. Udega is a technology platform — not a bank, broker, or party to any transaction.
