Paying on PINMart
You need the PIN app to pay
To pay on PINMart you need the PIN app on your phone. It is how you put Kina into your PINMart wallet, and how you take it back out.
Browsing, watching and listing on PINMart do not need the app. Paying does. Here is what the app is and how to get it.
Before you install the app
- What the PIN app is
- The PIN app is a wallet on your phone. It holds Kina, and it cashes out to your Papua New Guinea bank account.
- Everything you do for PINMart is in Kina. You send Kina from the app to your PINMart wallet, and you take Kina back out to the app and on to your bank.
- Look for the name Pay It Now – PIN Network
- That is the app. It is free to install. Follow the link on this page so you land on the right listing, rather than searching the store yourself.
- What installing it involves
- Installing is free. You set up an account in the app before you can pay.
- You do not send money to a seller from the app. You send it to your own PINMart wallet, and it stays yours until you buy something.
- Nobody should ever ask you for your password
- PINMart will never ask you for your PIN app password, and never for a code sent to your phone. If someone asks you for either one, they are not from PINMart. Tell us at support@payitnow.com.pg.
How paying works
- 1Install the PIN app and set up your account. It is free.
- 2Add Kina to PINMart: choose an amount on your account page, then scan the QR code with the PIN app and pay exactly that amount.
- 3Buy with your PINMart balance. Your money is held safely — the seller is not paid yet.
- 4Meet the seller and check the item. When you confirm you got it, the seller is paid to their PIN app.
- 5Any Kina left in your PINMart balance can be withdrawn to your PIN app whenever you want.
Buying is free. Sellers pay a 5% commission on each sale, at least K0.50 per sale. See fees, limits and timing.
