How to Pay with Cryptocurrency
Step 1: Get a Crypto Wallet
A crypto wallet is needed to store, buy, and send cryptocurrency. It works like a digital bank account but for crypto instead of cash. There are different types of wallets, and some offer buying, storing, and sending features all in one.

Step 2: Purchase Cryptocurrency
If you don’t already have cryptocurrency, you will need to buy it from an exchange (Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, etc.).
Steps to Buy Crypto:
1. Sign up on an exchange (like Coinbase, Binance, or Kraken).
2. Complete identity verification (may be required for purchases).
3. Link your bank account, debit card, or PayPal to deposit funds.
4. Buy the cryptocurrency you want to use for payment (XRP, USDT, USDC, LTC, XLM, TRX, SOL, ADA).
5. Transfer it to your wallet (if purchased on an exchange).
Step 3: Make a Payment
1. At checkout, select Crypto Payment.
2. Choose a cryptocurrency from the dropdown menu (XRP, USDT, USDC, LTC, XLM, TRX, SOL, ADA).
3. The system will show the exact amount of crypto to send based on the current exchange rate.
• Example: If your order total is $35.99, and XRP is $2.00 per coin, you will need to send:
35.99 ÷ 2.00 = 17.995 XRP
4. Scan the QR code or if you have to, copy and paste BUT (make sure you verify that all digits were copied and pasted and the last two were not truncated) provided at checkout.
• Do NOT manually type the wallet address! A single mistake can result in a lost transaction.
• Crypto payments are irreversible—once sent, they CANNOT be undone or refunded.
5. Open your crypto wallet and select Send Payment.
6. Paste the wallet address, enter the exact amount, and confirm the transaction.
Step 4: Send the Payment from Your Wallet
Now that you have the wallet address and payment amount, it’s time to send the crypto.
🟢 If you already own cryptocurrency:
1️⃣ Open your crypto wallet
2️⃣ Copy & paste the wallet address provided at checkout
3️⃣ Enter the exact amount displayed
4️⃣ Confirm and send the payment
Payments must be sent within the time limit displayed at checkout (usually 15-30 minutes).
Crypto transactions are fast, but processing times vary based on network speed.
Once payment is received and confirmed on the blockchain, your order will be processed.
• XRP, TRX, SOL, XLM, ADA – A few seconds to minutes
• USDC, USDT – Up to 30 minutes, depending on network congestion.
Once your payment is confirmed, you’ll receive an email with your order details!
