Paying with USDC

USDC is a digital dollar. Paying with it is private — no card details, nothing on your bank statement — and fees are just a few cents. If you've never used crypto before, here's how to do it in four steps.

  1. 1

    Get a crypto wallet

    Install a self-custody wallet app that supports Solana — Phantom is the easiest to start with. It's free and takes a couple of minutes. Write down your recovery phrase and keep it safe.

  2. 2

    Buy USDC

    Buy USDC inside your wallet app, or on an exchange such as Coinbase or Kraken, using your own card or bank account. USDC is a stablecoin: 1 USDC is always worth about $1, so its value doesn't swing like Bitcoin.

  3. 3

    Move it to your wallet

    If you bought on an exchange, withdraw the USDC to your own wallet first, choosing the Solana network. Paying from your own wallet keeps your purchase private from the exchange.

  4. 4

    Pay at checkout

    Choose USDC at checkout. You'll get an exact amount and an address (or a QR code). Send exactly that amount, on the network shown, before the timer runs out. Your download unlocks as soon as the payment confirms — usually within a minute.

Before you send

  • Send USDC only, on Solana — the network shown at checkout. Coins sent on the wrong network or in the wrong token may be lost.
  • Send the exact amount shown. Under-payments won't unlock the download.
  • Crypto payments can't be reversed by a bank. If something goes wrong, contact us — refunds are sent back to your wallet in USDC.
  • You need a little SOL in your wallet to cover the network fee — usually a fraction of a cent.
