Process
How Relay works
02
Pickup is verified
A Relayer completes the standardized pickup checklist and uploads evidence before the item moves.
03
Deliver and confirm
After delivery, the buyer confirms within the policy window or opens a dispute while funds stay controlled.
Who it is for
Built for every side of the deal
Relay is the completion and trust layer for local marketplace sales: payment protection, verification, dispatch, and handoff in one workflow.
Create an accountBuyers
Found a high-friction item across town? Complete the sale with documented pickup and delivery instead of a risky parking-lot meetup.
Sellers
Keep the sale on your preferred marketplace and let Relay handle protected handoff and payout rules after verification.
Relayers
Accept nearby requests, run the standardized verification checklist, and get paid for completion work—not subjective appraisal.
Partners
Marketplace integrations can come later. MVP starts with a pasted listing link and a standalone Relay workflow.
Hold
