Bike Hub Pay isn’t just for couriered deals—it can also be used to facilitate in-person collection deals, providing a secure and cash-free way to complete a transaction.

While cash or direct EFT might be common for collection deals, Bike Hub Pay offers key benefits, including:

Secure Payment – Buyers can pay via Credit Card or EFT.

Deposit Holding – Secure an item with a deposit.

No Cash Risks – Avoid carrying large amounts of cash.


With Bike Hub Pay, collection deals are simple and secure. Here’s how the process works:

1. Agreement: Buyer & Seller Confirm the Deal

The buyer submits an offer using the “Make an offer” button on the advert page.

2. Payment: Buyer Secures the Payment

Once the seller accepts the offer, the buyer makes a secure payment:

EFT: Paid to a dedicated Bike Hub account

Credit Card: Processed via PayFast.

Once payment is confirmed, Bike Hub notifies both parties to proceed with the collection.

3. Collection: Buyer Inspects & Accepts the Item

• The buyer and seller arrange a meet-up.

• The buyer inspects the item in person.

• If satisfied, the buyer taps “Complete the Deal” on Bike Hub while still with the seller (before leaving with the goods).

4. Payout: Seller Receives Funds

Once the buyer confirms the deal, Bike Hub releases the payment to the seller. That’s it—deal done!
