How paying with USDC works
- Pick a pack on your country's page, for example Japan or Mexico, and tap Buy. No account is created.
- On Stripe's payment page choose Crypto. Stripe opens crypto.stripe.com, where you connect your own wallet.
- Pay the US dollar price in USDC on one of the networks Stripe lists there, such as Ethereum, Solana, Polygon or Base.
- Once the payment confirms, the QR code and a one-tap Add eSIM link arrive by email, the same as after a card payment.
Where the Crypto option shows
Stripe picks the ways to pay it shows for each buyer. On 27 Oct 2026 the Crypto option showed on a checkout opened from the US and not on one opened from Turkey. If you do not see it, card, Apple Pay and Google Pay are always there.

Refunds and good to know
- Not installed and not used: ask within 30 days of issue and the refund goes back as USDC to the wallet you paid from, less the payment fee (in full within 14 days in the EU and UK). The refund policy has the details.
- A crypto payment cannot be charged back, so check the pack and your email address before you pay.
- Your phone must be unlocked and able to add an eSIM. Check it in 10 seconds.
- Stripe handles the crypto payment. We never see your wallet's keys.
