Beginner’s Guide: Paying with Cryptocurrency

Paying with cryptocurrency is just as simple as scanning a payment QR code with PayPal, Cash App, or your mobile banking app. You do not need to be an investor or a tech expert to use crypto at checkout.

What Is Crypto (And Why Use It Here)?

Cryptocurrency is digital money held in an app on your phone or computer rather than an account at a traditional bank.

• Enhanced Privacy: You never share your credit card numbers, CVV, or billing address with third-party card processors.
• No Hidden Bank Fees: Avoid cross-border transaction fees and surprise exchange surcharges.
• Direct & Secure: You approve every transfer directly from your personal wallet—no recurring unauthorized charges can ever occur.

3 Things You Need Before You Start

1. A Crypto Wallet App: A secure app where your digital funds live. Beginner-friendly options include Coinbase App, Cash App, Trust Wallet, or Kraken.
2. Funds in Your Wallet: You can link your debit card or bank account inside your wallet app to purchase crypto in minutes.
3. A Few Extra Cents for Network Fees: Blockchains charge a small processing fee (often pennies to a dollar) to send transactions, which will be itemized in your wallet app before you tap send.

How to Pay at Checkout

1. Choose ‘Pay with Crypto’ at Checkout: Complete your cart details as normal.

Proceed through checkout, enter your delivery address, select Cryptocurrency as your payment method, and click Place Order.

2.Select Your Preferred Coin: Stablecoins like USDC or USDT are recommended for first-timers.

You will see our secure payment portal displaying supported coins (such as USDC, USDT, Bitcoin, or Ethereum). Choose the currency you currently hold in your wallet.

3.Scan the QR Code with Your Wallet App: Send the exact amount before the on-screen countdown timer expires.

The screen will show a QR code, a destination wallet address, and the exact payment total. Open your wallet app, tap Send / Pay, scan the code on your screen (or copy-paste the recipient address), and review the amount.

4.Confirm and Receive Instant Verification: Usually settles within 1 to 5 minutes.

Authorize the transfer in your app. The checkout screen will detect the payment on the network, update to Payment Confirmed, and send your standard order confirmation email.

Common Questions & Troubleshooting

What if I don’t own any crypto yet?

Download a regulated app like Coinbase or Cash App, verify your identity, link a debit card, and purchase the amount you need. You can immediately spend it by scanning our checkout QR code.

Do I have to worry about market volatility?

If you pay using a stablecoin like USDC or USDT, the value is locked 1:1 with the US Dollar. If your total is $45, you send 45 USDC.

What if I send slightly too much or too little?

• Underpaid: If you accidentally send less than required (for instance, forgetting to account for a wallet withdrawal fee), the payment screen will adjust and show a remaining balance QR code for the difference.
• Overpaid: Any accidental overpayment can be tracked via the transaction ID and refunded by contacting our support team.

Is the payment reversible?

Blockchain transactions cannot be canceled once sent. Always verify the first and last four characters of the recipient address before hitting send. If you need to return an item, standard refund policies apply, and our support team will return the fiat value to you.
