Crypto has shaken off its niche status and is now mainstream, especially with privacy-loving folks. Here at WeedSeedsExpress, we love to keep things easy, secure, and discreet, which is why we use CoinGate, a no-faff crypto payment processor. Think of this guide as your rolling-paper instructions: straightforward, clear, and ready to get you going.

Why Use Cryptocurrency for Cannabis Seeds?

Privacy and Discretion

Buying seeds should be as private as your diary entries. Crypto keeps your transactions off the radar, offering unmatched confidentiality.

Worldwide Convenience

Ever faced currency conversion headaches? Crypto's like the universal plug adapter for payments, no matter where you're located, your crypto is universally accepted.

Fast and Low Fees

Forget waiting days for bank transactions. Crypto payments land faster than you can say 'Indica,' and usually at lower costs.

What is CoinGate and How Does it Work?

Think of CoinGate as your trusty mate who securely handles your crypto cash. It supports various popular cryptos, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and USDT, among others. Seamlessly integrated into the WeedSeedsExpress checkout process, CoinGate makes payment so straightforward even your gran could manage it. But you'll need a wallet containing crypto cash first to pay with cryptocurrency!

How to Easily Buy Cryptocurrency and Create a Wallet

Step 1: Create a Crypto Wallet

A crypto wallet is like a personal safe. You have full control over your funds. Great wallet options include:

  • Exodus: Dead easy to set up, available for desktop or mobile.

  • Trust Wallet: Perfect for mobile users, simple and secure.

Step 2: Choose a Cryptocurrency Exchange or Platform

A cryptocurrency exchange or platform is where you purchase crypto. Recommended beginner-friendly platforms include:

  • Coinbase: Easy enough for your tech-shy mate.

  • Kraken: Secure, low-fee, and the no-nonsense choice.

  • Bitstamp: Trustworthy, straightforward, and reliable.

Creating an account is easy. You must verify your account to get started, but this is a one-time process. Once you're set up, you're all set!

Step 3: Purchase Cryptocurrency

Purchasing crypto is as easy as online shopping. Use your debit/credit card or bank transfer. For simplicity and cost-effectiveness, we suggest buying Litecoin or Bitcoin.

Step 4: Transfer Your Crypto to Your Wallet

After purchasing cryptocurrency, transfer it to your wallet to maintain control of your funds:

  • Find and copy your wallet's unique crypto address for the type of cryptocurrency you bought.

  • Log into your crypto exchange account, select "Withdraw" or "Send" beside your cryptocurrency.

  • Paste your wallet address, carefully verifying accuracy.

  • Confirm and complete the transaction. Wait for the crypto to arrive in your wallet.

Besides topping up your crypto balance in your wallet occasionally when you run out and need more for your next seed purchase, you can skip all these steps next time.
