Verify
You’ll now be taken through a short two-factor authentication via PayPal to confirm it’s really you.
If you want to skip this step next time, simply select “Let PayPal remember this device”
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a way to strengthen security by requiring two separate methods to verify your identity. To learn more, see our short guide Crypto security basics: Staying safe in Web3
Finalize
You’ll now be asked to select your PayPal payment method, whether that be your existing PayPal balance or any saved cards you have on your account.
➡️ Select your preferred payment method
➡️ Select “Agree & Continue”
Almost there!
To finalize the transaction, you’ll need agree to MoonPay’s Terms of Use, review the exchange rate, and select “Buy Now”.
And that’s it! After completing your order, you'll receive a confirmation email along with a link to our order tracker for real-time status updates.
