Have you figured out how the payment part works yet, mate? That's the bit I'm stuck on haha ? Show me the ropes, obi -wan
Are you asking about crypto payments?
I already had a coinbase account, so I bought some USDC through it, then talked to the vendor and got the address to send to. I have just hit send, so fingers crossed I did it correctly lol
so i've got myself a coinbase account, and my assumption is that the process is just topping up the balance and then forwarding it to the vendor — but even at that stage, i keep coming across accounts of people sending the wrong asset, and if the currency isn't the right one, it's gone.
i reckon after i manage to complete one transaction, everything else will fall into place; it's just that right now it's not quite as simple as my brain can handle lol
This is the method I followed, and I chose to use coinbase through my computer because it feels simpler to me than doing it on a phone.
So:
1. Buy USDC (a stable coin - the vendor specifically asked for this) - that part is really straightforward, you just pick a payment method and use it to get the currency from coinbase.
2. open USDC and hit 'send crypto' - after you press continue, coinbase will prompt you for the network, the amount and the address.
3. put in the wallet address provided by the vendor - getting this right matters a lot, because even a tiny typo or error means the funds vanish
4. pick whichever network the vendor tells you to use, in my case it was Solana
5. check everything looks right and press send. Coinbase shows a helpful pop up box so you can verify it all (screenshot attached)

After that I forwarded a few screenshots to my vendor to verify, and they told me a tracking number should arrive within 48 hours.
That said, my wife has started giving me a hard time about ordering questionable stuff online
I am definitely not an expert in any way, but this is the process I used and it appears to have gone through without any issues
