Today 5miles released its latest update, version 4.2!  Along with the usual bug fixes, we added some major new features too!

The first major update is a product we’re calling Wallet. 5miles’ Wallet now lets users pay for items via a saved debit or credit card or receive payment via a linked bank account. Powered by Stripe, the new payment method offers greater security and convenience to buyers and sellers, right at their fingertips.

Here’s how it works:

  • Buyers contact a seller about an item and negotiate a price.
  • If the seller accepts payment through Wallet, the buy can link their credit or debit card and submit payment.
  • After confirming they have received an item in good condition, the buyer authorizes the release of funds to a seller to cover the purchase.
  • Sellers can then withdraw their money and have it transferred to a linked bank account.

With Shipping, sellers can list items separately for local pickup or choose to provide a shipping option via USPS. A FedEx option will soon be available.
