How to Purchase Crypto

Paying in crypto here is direct: you send from your own wallet to ours, and nothing passes through a payment processor in between. There is no account to create and no third party holding the funds. Below is exactly what happens, and what to do if you have never sent crypto before.

How the payment works

1. Choose a network at checkout. Select Cryptocurrency as your payment method and pick one of the five we accept: Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT on ERC-20, USDT on TRC-20, or Litecoin.
2. Place the order. It is created straight away and held while we wait for payment. Nothing is charged automatically.
3. Send the payment. The next page shows the one wallet address for the network you picked, with a button to copy it. The same address is emailed to you, so you do not have to keep the page open.
4. Email us the transaction hash. Every transaction produces an ID — usually called a TXID or transaction hash. Send it to us with your order number.
5. We confirm and ship. We check the transaction on the public blockchain, mark the order paid, and dispatch it.

Send on the network you selected — nothing else

This is the one thing worth slowing down for. The same funds can travel over different networks, and the addresses are not interchangeable. USDT in particular exists on both ERC-20 and TRC-20, and they use completely different address formats.

If you pick USDT (TRC-20) at checkout and then send USDT over ERC-20, the payment does not arrive and it cannot be recovered — not by us, and not by your wallet provider. The network is printed next to the address at checkout, on the confirmation page and in your email, every time. Match it before you send.

If you have not bought crypto before

You will need two things: somewhere to buy it, and somewhere to hold it.

• An exchange — a regulated marketplace where you buy crypto with ordinary money. Most require identity verification, and a first purchase can take a day or two to clear. Well-known options include Coinbase, Kraken and Binance, though any reputable exchange operating in your country will do.
• A wallet — where the crypto sits, and what you send from. Exchanges provide one by default, which is enough to pay for an order. A self-custody wallet such as Exodus or Trust Wallet gives you direct control of the keys if you would rather hold it yourself.

The short version: buy the coin you intend to pay with on the exchange, then use its Send or Withdraw function, paste our address, and confirm the network matches.

Fees and amounts

Networks charge a transfer fee that goes to the network itself, not to us. It varies with congestion, and it is deducted separately from the amount you send. Send the full order total so the amount that arrives is not short — a partial payment will hold up your order until the difference is made up.

Fees differ considerably between networks. If you are choosing purely on cost, USDT over TRC-20 and Litecoin are typically the cheaper of the five.

How long it takes

Most transfers confirm within minutes, though a busy network can take longer. We look for confirmation on-chain rather than taking the transaction on trust, so sending us the TXID promptly is the quickest way to get your order moving.

Common questions

I closed the page before copying the address.

It is in your order email as well, alongside a link back to the confirmation page where the copy button lives.

I sent the wrong amount.

Email us with the TXID and we will tell you where the order stands. An underpayment can usually be topped up; an overpayment we will sort out with you directly.

I sent on the wrong network.

Contact us immediately with the TXID and the network you actually used. Recovery is often impossible, but the sooner we know, the better the chance of doing something about it.

Do I need an account with a payment provider?

No. Payment goes straight from your wallet to ours. There is no processor in between and no separate account to open.
