HOW THE PLATFORM WORKS

How do tokens work?

A SIMPLE PRINCIPLE

1 token = 1 introduction

A token reveals a user's full contact details (email and phone). As long as you stay in the built-in messaging, no token is used. Unused tokens carry over to the following month.

Why tokens?
They guarantee qualified, serious contacts and fund the development of the platform for everyone's benefit.
When is a token used?
Only when you access the direct contact details (email, phone) of a carrier or a shipper.
Can we communicate without a token?
Yes. The built-in messaging is always free and unlimited. Tokens only apply to revealing contact details.
Do tokens carry over?
Yes, unused tokens carry over to the following month.
Can extra tokens be bought?
Yes. Top-up packs available: CHF 5 for a single token, CHF 45 for a pack of 10.
