Common Questions
Q: What happens if the Coin price changes in the middle of the checkout process?
A: Should the price drastically fluctuate during the checkout process, the order may fail, but the USD will still apply to your USD balance.
Example:
BTC's price is at $15,781.12 (USD), and you’re trying to buy $40 worth of BTC. Before you can even complete the checkout process, the price jumps to $16,650 (+5.50%). The transaction will fail because you’re already committed to the original purchase price, thus depositing the $40 USD to your account instead of the BTC.
The price of BTC is $15,315 during the checkout window but then suddenly jumps to $15,800 within 60 seconds. The Buy Crypto will not be able to sell BTC at the original price as the market changed, so instead, you’ll receive the USD.
