USE CRYPTO / FIELD GUIDE

Know what happens before you pay.

Choosing a network, working out fees or tracing a missing payment? Start with the question you have.

Prepare a first payment

Which network should you use, and how is the fee charged?

Check the service’s payment options and your card’s requirements.

Separate underpayments, pending transfers and expired invoices.

Start with official payment options, then assess whether a crypto card adds value. Check your purchase channel, card origin, total cost and renewals.

A shared ticker does not establish compatibility. The sender and invoice must agree.

Distinguish Claude web subscriptions, mobile purchases and API billing, then check card location, authentication and renewal arrangements.

Start with the purchase you want to make, check the specific card’s terms and distinguish card funding from merchant payment before committing funds.

Check the order and transaction before paying again.

Before opening an account or buying crypto, establish what the merchant actually accepts.

Distinguish a deducted fee from a fee charged on top.
