Crypto checkout is simple when you follow the invoice. It becomes painful when you improvise.
This guide is for first-time buyers who want to finish an alts.cool order without sending the wrong asset, underpaying, or losing the order ID.
Step 1: create the order first
Add the product to cart, enter your delivery email, and start checkout. Do not send crypto to an address from an old screenshot or a previous order.
Each invoice is tied to the order you are paying. Treat the address and amount as order-specific.
Step 2: choose only an asset shown at checkout
Use the payment options shown on the checkout page. Supported assets can change depending on processor availability, minimums, and network status.
If your wallet has a different coin than the invoice expects, do not send it anyway. Go back and choose the correct asset or use a wallet/exchange that can send the asset shown.
Step 3: send the exact amount
Copy the address carefully. Check the first and last characters. Then send the exact amount shown by the invoice.
Crypto transactions are not like card authorizations. A wrong address cannot be reversed by alts.cool support. A wrong asset may not be recoverable. An underpayment can delay fulfillment.
Step 4: wait for confirmation
After sending, leave the checkout page open if possible. The payment processor updates the order after network confirmation and status callbacks.
Do not create three new orders because the first one did not update instantly. If you paid, keep the transaction hash and order ID.
Step 5: check email delivery
When payment finishes and the order is fulfilled, credentials are delivered through the site flow and email. If you do not see the email, check spam and make sure you typed the right address.
If something is stuck, open support with:
- Order ID
- Payment asset
- Transaction hash
- The email used at checkout
Do not post private credentials or transaction details publicly.
Common mistakes
Sending from the wrong network is the big one. For example, stablecoins can exist on multiple networks. Use the exact network shown by the invoice.
Another mistake is sending less than the invoice amount because the exchange fee was deducted from the send amount. Make sure the recipient receives the amount requested.
The last mistake is closing everything and losing the order ID. Save it before sending.
