Manual Crypto Transfer (Using Coinbase or Binance as Examples)

Check out our guide on making manual crypto payments directly from your wallet..

We value our members' feedback and are actively adapting based on your input as we transition to cryptocurrency across our website.

We exclusively accept USDC on the Solana network because of its low transaction fees compared to other blockchains. Depending on your country, our payment provider may offer additional cryptocurrency options or payment methods, but the final amount we receive will always be in USDC. Rest assured, we don’t add any extra fees beyond the crypto cost, which will be clearly displayed at checkout.

If you face an issue with our default provider, Hel.io, or prefer using a crypto exchange or another provider, follow these steps. This example uses Coinbase and Binance, but the process is similar for other platforms or wallets.

Step 2: Start the Checkout Process

1. Visit the Checkout Page
   Go to the crypto checkout page and start your purchase.
2. Choose USD in the Checkout
   • This will calculate the amount of USDC (USD Coin) you need to send.
   • Your order will be marked as “pending payment.”
   • Write down the total amount in USDC.
3. Select “Manual Crypto Transfer”
   • Continue to checkout.
   • You’ll receive an email with instructions and our wallet address to send USDC.

Step 3: Understand Fees

1. Exchange Withdrawal Fees
   Some exchanges charge fees for withdrawing USDC:
   • Binance: Add 2 USDC to the total (e.g., for 62.18 USDC, purchase 64.18 USDC).
   • Coinbase: No withdrawal fee, so purchase the exact amount (e.g., 62.18 USDC).
2. Solana Network Fees
   To send USDC, you’ll also need a small amount of SOL (Solana) to cover transaction fees.
   • About $1 worth of SOL is enough for multiple transactions.

Step 4: Buy USDC and SOL

1. Log in to your exchange (e.g., Coinbase, Binance).
2. Purchase the required amount of USDC (include withdrawal fees if needed).
3. Buy a small amount of SOL (around $1 USD worth).

Step 5: Transfer USDC to Your Wallet

On Coinbase:

1. Go to your USDC balance.
2. Select Transfer > Send Crypto > Choose USDC.
3. Select the Solana network.
4. Enter the amount (e.g., 62.18 USDC) and your wallet address.
5. Preview and confirm the transaction.

Repeat these steps to transfer the SOL you purchased.

On Binance:

1. Go to your USDC balance.
2. Select Withdraw > Send via Crypto Network.
3. Enter your wallet address (double-check it for accuracy).
4. Select the Solana network.
5. Enter the amount (e.g., 64.18 USDC if including fees).
6. Preview and confirm the transaction.

Repeat these steps to transfer the SOL you purchased.

Step 6: Send USDC to Us

1. Open your wallet and go to your USDC balance.
2. Select Transfer > Send Crypto > Choose USDC.
3. Select the Solana network.
4. Enter the amount (e.g., 62.18 USDC) and our wallet address from the email.
5. Preview the transaction (you’ll see a small SOL gas fee) and send.

Step 7: Wait for Confirmation

• Transfers usually take a few minutes but could take longer during busy times.
• Once we receive your payment, your account will be credited.
