Methods and systems for peer-to-peer communication are provided. In one example, a first device may receive, from a server, a pairing code and a first handshake code. The first device may transmit at least a first portion of the pairing code in a first broadcast message and receive, from the second device, a second broadcast message. The first device may authenticate the second device based on at least a second portion of the pairing code in the second broadcast message. The first device may establish a wireless peer-to-peer communication channel with the second device, and receive, from the second device, a second handshake code via the wireless peer-to-peer communication channel. The first device may authorize the second party to engage in an offline interaction with the first party based on the first handshake code and the second handshake code.
