How PiPExchange works

This page walks you through how to use PiPExchange from A to Z: what you need before you start, how to create an order, how to pay, what happens behind the scenes and how to track everything.

You don’t need to be a trading expert. If you can read the rate, follow the instructions and double-check your details, you can use PiPExchange safely and confidently.

Section 01

The big picture: what PiPExchange does

PiPExchange is a conversion service: you send one currency or payment method, we send another — using our own reserves and partner liquidity.

1.1. What you can do here

PiPExchange lets you exchange between e-currencies, cryptocurrencies and fiat payment systems (for example: USDT, other coins, PayPal, e-wallets and more), depending on which directions are currently available.

We are not a trading platform with order books or leverage. You do not “place trades” against other users. Instead, you create an order, see the rate and payout, send your funds and receive the converted amount to your own account or wallet.

1.2. Key roles in a typical exchange

  • You – the customer, sending funds from your account and receiving the payout.
  • PiPExchange – the service that processes your order and manages reserves.
  • Payment systems – external providers like banks, PayPal, crypto networks, etc.

You always control both ends: you pay from your own account and we send the payout to an account you own or are authorised to use.

Section 02

What you need before you start

A quick checklist so you don’t get stuck halfway through an exchange.

2.1. Accounts and wallets

Before you place an order, make sure you have:

  • An account or wallet to send from – for example your USDT wallet, PayPal account or other supported method.
  • An account or wallet to receive to – for example your own PayPal email, bank details or crypto address.

For security and AML reasons, we usually only work with accounts that belong to you personally.

2.2. Basic information we will ask

On most exchanges you will be asked for:

  • Your email address (for order confirmations and support)
  • Payout details (for example PayPal email, bank IBAN, wallet address)
  • Your full name in some directions, especially when using fiat payment systems

For higher limits or certain directions, we may also require verification as described in the AML / KYC Policy.

2.3. When you should create an account

In some cases you can exchange without registration, but we recommend creating an account if you:

  • plan to use PiPExchange regularly,
  • want to see your full history and order statuses in one place, or
  • expect to reach higher volume and need higher limits.
Section 03

Creating your first exchange order

A simple step-by-step guide from the homepage calculator to the order summary.

3.1. Choose direction and amount

On the homepage you’ll see the main exchange box with two sides: “You send” and “You receive”.

  1. Select the currency or payment method you want to send.
  2. Select the currency or payment method you want to receive.
  3. Enter the amount you want to send (or receive, depending on the calculator mode).

The system will show you the current rate, approximate payout and any visible service fee, based on available reserves and live pricing.

3.2. Review rate, fees and limits

Before continuing, check:

  • The rate being applied to your exchange
  • The minimum and maximum amount for this direction
  • Any service fees or notes shown for this pair

If everything looks good, click the button to continue to the next step (for example “Continue”, “Next” or similar, depending on the UI).

3.3. Enter payout and contact details

In the next step you’ll be asked to enter:

  • Where we should send the payout (email, wallet, bank details, etc.)
  • Your contact email for notifications and support
  • Any additional information required for this direction (memo, tag, note, etc.)

Double-check this information carefully. If you enter a wrong wallet address or bank account, we might not be able to recover the funds once they are sent.

3.4. Confirm the order summary

Before the order is created, you’ll see a summary that includes:

  • The direction (for example USDT → PayPal EUR)
  • The exact amount you should send
  • The estimated payout amount and currency
  • The rate and any fees included
  • Your contact and payout details

If everything is correct, confirm the order. A unique order number will be generated, and you’ll see payment instructions on screen (and often by email).

Section 04

Paying for your order safely

How to send the exact amount to PiPExchange without delays or mistakes.

4.1. Follow the payment instructions on screen

After confirming your order, you will see where and how to send your funds. For example:

  • a crypto address and network,
  • a PayPal invoice or email, or
  • bank / e-wallet details.

Always use the exact details shown on your order page. If something looks different from what you expected, contact support before sending any money.

4.2. Send the exact amount

To avoid manual corrections and delays:

  • Send the exact amount shown in the order (not “about” or “roughly”).
  • When dealing with crypto, pay attention to network fees. If your wallet subtracts the fee from the amount, increase the amount so that the net value we receive matches the order.
  • Do not reuse old payment details from previous orders; always follow the latest instructions for each order.

4.3. Save proof of payment

After sending the payment, it’s a good idea to keep:

  • a transaction hash (for crypto),
  • a payment ID or confirmation number (for PayPal / e-wallets), or
  • a screenshot of the successful payment.

If anything needs manual review later, this information helps our support team assist you much faster.

Section 05

What happens after you’ve paid

A look behind the scenes: confirmations, checks and sending your payout.

5.1. Waiting for payment confirmation

Once you have sent the funds, your order usually moves from “Created / Waiting for payment” to “Payment received / In progress” after:

  • we see sufficient confirmations on the blockchain (for crypto), or
  • the payment is marked as completed on the payment system side (for PayPal, banks, etc.).

5.2. Internal checks and risk controls

For your safety and ours, some orders may go through additional checks before payout:

  • automatic screening for suspicious patterns,
  • verification that the sender matches the expected account,
  • compliance checks under our AML / KYC Policy.

Most orders pass these checks quickly. If we need more information, we will contact you using the email linked to your order or account.

5.3. Sending the payout

After payment is confirmed and checks are completed, we send the payout to the destination you provided. The order status will usually move to “Completed / Paid”.

Depending on the method, you may receive:

  • a transaction hash or ID for the outgoing transfer,
  • an email from the payment system (for example PayPal notification), or
  • an updated balance in your wallet or bank.
Section 06

Order statuses & tracking

How to see where your exchange is in the process at any moment.

6.1. Where to find your order

You can normally track orders:

  • from your account dashboard if you are logged in, or
  • using a direct order or invoice link sent to your email.

Keep your order number or link private; it contains details about your transaction.

6.2. Typical status names

Exact wording may differ, but common statuses include:

  • Created / Waiting for payment – order registered; funds not yet received.
  • Payment received / In progress – funds detected; payout being prepared.
  • On hold / Verification – additional checks or documents required.
  • Completed / Paid – payout sent to your destination account.
  • Cancelled / Expired – order not paid in time or cancelled by you / support.

If you are unsure what a status means in your specific case, just message support with your order number.

Section 07

Limits, fees and verification

A short explanation of why limits exist, how fees work and when KYC comes in.

7.1. Limits per direction

Each exchange direction has its own minimum and maximum amounts, depending on:

  • current reserves,
  • payment system rules, and
  • our internal risk assessment.

The calculator will show you if your desired amount is outside the allowed range and, where possible, suggest a value that fits within the limits.

7.2. How fees appear

We try to make pricing as transparent as possible. Before confirming an order you will see:

  • what you send,
  • what you receive, and
  • any visible service fee or note about included fees.

For more detail, you can also check the dedicated Fees & Limits information if available for your region.

7.3. When we may ask for KYC

If your volume grows, you use certain sensitive directions or our systems detect unusual activity, we may require additional verification before continuing to process orders.

This is not personal; it is part of our AML / KYC obligations and helps keep the platform safe for everyone.

Section 08

Tips for smooth, fast exchanges

Small habits that significantly reduce delays, mistakes and stress.

8.1. Double-check all details

Before confirming your order:

  • Check that you selected the correct direction (e.g. USDT → PayPal, not the reverse).
  • Confirm the payout address / account belongs to you and is spelled correctly.
  • Verify the amount you intend to send and receive.

8.2. Use the correct network and method

Many issues come from sending funds on the wrong network or to an unsupported payment method. Always:

  • match the crypto network exactly as shown on the order page,
  • respect any tags, memos or references we provide, and
  • avoid experimental or unusual routes unless explicitly approved.

8.3. Contact us early if something feels off

If anything looks unclear — a strange status, a delay, a typo you just noticed — contact our support before trying random fixes or sending multiple extra payments. In most cases we can solve issues faster when there is a single clear order trail.

Section 09

If something goes wrong

How we handle problems and where to read about refunds, disputes and restrictions.

9.1. First steps if you’re worried

If you think something is wrong with your exchange, please:

  • Check the order status page or email updates.
  • Compare the amount and transaction ID with what you actually sent.
  • Contact support with your order number and payment proof.

Most cases are solved by matching payments, clarifying details or simply waiting for external systems (banks, blockchains, etc.) to catch up.

9.2. Refunds and reversals

Refunds are handled according to our Refund Policy. In some situations we can return funds (for example when an order cannot be processed), usually minus any non-recoverable network or processing fees.

For crypto and certain payment methods, transactions may be technically irreversible once sent. In such cases we may help you with documentation and confirmations, but we cannot guarantee that funds can be recalled.
