OTP-verified buying at the counter
How buying a used phone works on Recashy: verify the seller's number with a one-time code, fill in the minimum, read the declaration and file in two minutes.
In short
- The seller confirms their number with a code sent to their own phone before a record opens.
- Five things are needed to file, and everything else is optional.
- A purchase takes about two minutes, and nothing is lost if you are interrupted.
01Verify the seller's number first
Anyone can give a false name. A mobile number that receives a code, on the phone in the seller's hand, ties the record to a real person who can be reached later. That is why a record opens only after the number is verified.
- 01

Verify and start. The record opens with the number marked as verified.
02Returning sellers are recognised
As soon as you type all ten digits, Recashy checks your shop's own customer book. If the seller has sold to you before, you see their name, how many times they have sold here, their last handset and whether their ID is on file. Once the code is verified, their name and address are filled in for you.
This looks only at your shop. Other shops never see your customers, and you never see theirs.
03The minimum to file, and what is optional
Needed to file
- A verified mobile number
- The seller's name
- Make and model
- A valid 15-digit IMEI
- The amount paid
Optional, and each one makes the record stronger
- ID proof: Aadhaar, PAN, driving licence, voter ID or passport. Only the last 4 digits and a one-way fingerprint are kept, never the full number.
- The seller's address and pincode
- Photos of the handset, the seller holding it, the ID and the original bill
04The declaration
When you tap File record, a sheet opens with a short declaration. Read it out to the seller, tick the box and tap Confirm and file. The words are stored on the record exactly as written.

Exchange, if any
If the customer is also buying a new phone from you, record it in the same visit. Leave the collected amount blank and it is worked out as the new phone's price minus what you paid for the old one.
- 06
File
File record, read the declaration,Confirm and file.
06Pause and pick up again
Everything you type saves on its own, and there is no save button. If the customer steps out or someone else needs serving, leave the page. The unfinished purchase waits on Today under On the counter, and Resume takes you back to where you stopped.
If the sale falls through, open the draft and discard it. Nothing was filed, so your register and stock are untouched.
