Payments for sea, road and groupage freight forwarders

Get paid for the space in the container before it is loaded.

Sea freight, road freight and groupage forwarders sell space by the cubic metre to shippers who are often in another country. Send each shipper one payment link for their booking, and they pay the full amount from their own wallet. It settles to a wallet you control, after the required network confirmations.

Before you read on: we publish every business type we take and every one we refuse — 28 we take, 10 we refuse.

Why this trade gets flagged

A shipper abroad, a fixed loading date, and money that has to cross a border first.

The container is loaded on a fixed date, and the shipper has to have paid first

A shared container or a road load goes when it is full and the booking closes. A shipper who has not paid by then either misses the sailing or leaves you carrying the cost of their space.

Send the booking as one fixed link as soon as the space is confirmed, with the booking reference and the cubic metres in its description. The shipper pays from their own wallet, and settlement reaches your wallet after the required network confirmations.

A payment from abroad sits in a bank's checks while the goods wait

The shipper is in another country and pays by international transfer. The money leaves their account and then spends days in a bank's checks, and nobody can tell you when it will land, while the cargo waits at the warehouse.

A shipper who holds stablecoins pays the link from wherever they are, in the currency the link was set in, and settlement reaches your wallet after the required network confirmations. A card option may also appear at checkout: buyer eligibility depends on country, payment method, provider, and compliance checks, and a card payment can be declined or asked for ID.

Delays, damage or a changed volume turn the invoice into an argument

The sailing slips, a carton arrives crushed, or the goods measured more at the warehouse than the shipper declared. The argument arrives after the goods have moved.

Your own trading terms decide delays, damage and remeasured volume, together with the law that applies to you. If the volume went up, the difference is one more link for the exact amount. A wallet payment is not pulled back by Zoyn after the required network confirmations; card-funded payments can still be disputed under the provider's own rules.

What you move

One link per booking, whatever the load.

Groupage and shared containers

One link per shipper, for their own share of the container, priced by the cubic metre. Each shipper pays their own link, so a link is never shared across a load.

Full container loads by sea

One link for the booking, sent once the space is confirmed. Anything that changes later is a separate link for the exact difference.

Road freight and part loads

One link per consignment, with the collection and delivery towns in its description, paid before the goods are collected.

How it works

Booked, paid, then loaded.

1

Confirm the space with a link

A fixed amount for the shipper's booking, with the reference, the route and the volume as the description.

2

The shipper pays before loading

From their own wallet, or by card where a card option is offered in their country and the payment passes its checks.

3

The money lands in your wallet

Settlement reaches your wallet after the required network confirmations, in the currency the link was set in.

Common questions

What a freight forwarder asks first.

Can each shipper in a groupage container pay their own share?

Yes. Create one link per shipper for their own booking. Every link takes a single fixed payment, so a link is never passed round a group.

The goods measured more at the warehouse than the shipper declared. Can I change the link?

Each link is fixed once it is created. Send one more link for the difference, with the remeasured volume in its description.

I invoice a regular shipper every month. Can Zoyn charge them automatically?

No. Each invoice is its own link, and there is no automatic monthly charge. You send the invoice as one link and the shipper pays it.

Is the money really mine once it arrives?

It lands in a wallet only you control. Two honest limits: while your Zoyn account is under review, Zoyn pauses automatic payouts to your wallet until the review is finished; and a card payment can be declined or asked for ID before it is sent.

Do you accept my business?

We publish every business type we take and every one we refuse, and every application is checked before it goes live. We don't promise a timeline we can't keep.

Checkout and on-ramp providers may process or hold card- or bank-funded payments under their own terms before on-chain settlement reaches the merchant's nominated contract after required confirmations.

Direct merchant account onboarding supported across 64 verified global jurisdictions. A US state stays open when at least one checkout partner still serves buyers there. Global buyer checkout (USDC settlement) supported across 130+ countries via integrated on-ramp bridges; buyer-checkout coverage is determined by the third-party on-ramp providers, not by Zoyn, and may change without notice.
