How to Pay with Crypto

A clear, step-by-step walkthrough for secure checkout on Elev-8 Labs. Built for first-time crypto users — no prior experience required.

1

Choose Your Crypto

We accept three widely-used cryptocurrencies. Each has its own strengths — pick whichever you already hold or find easiest to acquire.

Bitcoin (BTC)

The original cryptocurrency. Universally supported and highly secure.

USDT (Tether)

Stablecoin pegged to USD. Predictable value with no volatility surprises.

$

USDC

USD-backed stablecoin. Regulated, transparent, and beginner-friendly.

2

Recommended Wallet: Exodus

New to crypto? We recommend Exodus Wallet. It’s designed for beginners while still being powerful enough for experienced users.

How to Set Up Exodus

Download the App

Visit exodus.com and grab the installer for your device desktop or mobile. Always download from official website.

Create Your Wallet

Open the app and tap ‘Create New Wallet’. The setup wizard walks you through everything in under two minutes.

Backup Recover Phrase

Write down your 12 word recovery phrase on paper. Store it offline. It is the only way to restore your funds.

Important: Never share your recovery phrase. Anyone with access to those words can drain your wallet. Keep it offline in a secure location.

How to Purchase Crypto in Exodus

Exodus lets you buy crypto directly inside the app. Follow these steps:

Tip: Buy 5–10% more than your order total so network fees don’t leave you short at checkout.

5

Sending Payment After Checkout

Complete Checkout

Add your products to the cart and proceed to checkout. Select your preferred cryptocurrency on the payment screen.

Copy the Payment Address

After checkout you'll receive a unique wallet address. Copy it exactly — a single wrong character can result in permanent loss of funds.

Send from Exodus

Open Exodus, select your crypto, hit 'Send', paste the address, enter the exact amount, and confirm.

Wait for Confirmation

Network confirmation times vary. BTC: 10–60 minutes. USDT/USDC: 1–15 minutes depending on network congestion.

Send Us Your TXID

After sending, copy your Transaction ID (TXID) from Exodus and email it to support@elev-8labs.com along with your order number.

Network rules: For USDT and USDC, always use the ERC-20 network we display at checkout. Sending on the wrong network results in permanent loss of funds.

6

Waiting for Network Confirmation

Once payment is sent, the blockchain needs time to verify your transaction. This step is automatic and can’t be rushed.

Bitcoin (BTC)

Typically 10–60 minutes. Requires 1–3 network confirmations depending on the amount sent.

USDT / USDC (ERC-20)

Usually 1–15 minutes. May take longer during periods of high network congestion.
You can track your transaction status using your TXID on a blockchain explorer like blockchair.com.

7

Send Us Your TXID to Confirm

After sending payment, you’ll receive a Transaction ID (TXID) a unique code that proves your payment. Email this to us so we can match it to your order and ship faster.

Include in your email:

  • Your order number
  • The cryptocurrency used (BTC, USDT, or USDC)
  • Your TXID (Transaction ID)
  • Amount sent

Middleman Service

Don't want to use crypto? No problem.

We understand crypto isn't for everyone — especially if it feels new or unfamiliar. While crypto remains our primary payment method (for the safety of both parties), we offer a middleman service so you can pay using methods you already know.

How it works

Our trusted middleman handles the crypto side for you. You pay them using a familiar method, and they convert and forward the crypto to us on your behalf.

Place Your Order

Place your order as normal on our website and note your order total.

Contact the Middleman

Reach out to coordinate payment using any of the methods listed below.

Order Is Processed

Once payment confirms, the middleman forwards crypto to us and your order ships.

Accepted Payment Methods

PayPal

Venmo

CashApp

Zelle

Small service fee: A small fee applies for this service and is communicated upfront. It’s fair given the time and effort involved in handling the conversion.
