**Quick answer: How do I buy electronics with crypto on MSRP Crypto?**

To buy with crypto on **MSRP Crypto**, fill your cart and enter an email and an address. Then send the exact amount shown in BTC, USDT (TRC-20 or ERC-20), USDC (ERC-20), ETH, SOL, LTC. We check the payment on the blockchain, order your device and email the tracking number. As of 30 October 2026, 57 products sell this way.

## What are the steps to buy with crypto?

1. **Add the device to your cart** — On the product page, choose an option (storage, size or bundle) and press **Add to cart**. In the [cart](https://msrpcrypto.com/cart/), change quantities, up to 5 of each product. The summary shows the MSRP total, free shipping and import duties included.
2. **Enter an email and a shipping address** — Press **Checkout — pay in crypto**. Enter an email for order updates, your full name, your country, your address and your city. Phone, apartment, state and postal code are optional. There is no account to create and no ID to upload.
3. **Choose a coin and send the exact amount** — Pick one of the 7 coin and network options. The page shows a QR code, the exact amount, our address and your order reference. Send exactly that amount, on that network, within 30 minutes. The network fee comes on top. Then press **I've sent the payment**.
4. **We check the payment on the blockchain** — Your order reaches our team and the [tracking page](https://msrpcrypto.com/track/) opens with the status **Payment being verified**. We match your payment by its exact amount, then wait for the network confirmations listed below.
5. **We order your device** — Once the payment is confirmed, we order your device from our distributor. The status becomes **Paid — ordered from our supplier**. Pre-orders ship once the manufacturer releases the product (6 November 2026 for the October 2026 Apple launches).
6. **We ship it with tracking** — The device ships free, with import duties and VAT already paid (DDP), so nothing is due at delivery. The status becomes **Shipped**, with the carrier and the tracking number. We also email the tracking number.
7. **Follow the order on the tracking page** — Open [Track an order](https://msrpcrypto.com/track/) at any time. Each order shows its reference and a 16-digit order access code. Keep both: they let you follow the order from another phone or computer.

## Which coins and networks can you pay with?

You choose the coin and the network at checkout. The page then shows our address on that network only, and the number of confirmations we wait for.

| Coin | Network | Confirmations we wait for | How the amount is set |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin (BTC) | Bitcoin | 2 | Dollar total at the current market rate |
| Tether (USDT) | Tron (TRC-20) | 20 | 1 USDT counts as $1 |
| Tether (USDT) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | 1 USDT counts as $1 |
| USD Coin (USDC) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | 1 USDC counts as $1 |
| Ethereum (ETH) | Ethereum | 12 | Dollar total at the current market rate |
| Solana (SOL) | Solana | 1 | Dollar total at the current market rate |
| Litecoin (LTC) | Litecoin | 6 | Dollar total at the current market rate |

Checked on 30 October 2026.

Send on the network you chose at checkout. A payment sent on another network does not reach the address shown and can be lost.

## Why is the amount so precise?

The last digits of the amount are unique to your order. We match your payment by this exact amount, then check it on the blockchain.

- **USDT and USDC:** the dollar total plus less than one cent. For example, a $500.00 order can show 500.0042 USDT.
- **BTC, ETH, SOL and LTC:** the dollar total converted at the current market rate, rounded up, plus at most 0.00000099 of the coin. The page shows the rate it used.

Send the amount exactly as shown, in one payment. For BTC, LTC and SOL, the QR code carries the address and the amount. For ETH, USDT and USDC, it carries the address only, so copy the amount with the **Copy** button.

The amount is held for you for 30 minutes, with a timer on the page. If the timer runs out before you pay, choose the coin again to get a fresh amount. If the exchange rate does not load, pay in USDT or USDC, or try again a minute later.


## What do the order statuses mean?

The [tracking page](https://msrpcrypto.com/track/) shows one of these statuses for each order. Our team updates them as your order moves.

| Status on the tracking page | What it means |
|---|---|
| Saved in this browser — sending… | Your order is stored on this device but has not reached us yet. The site sends it again each time you open one of its pages. |
| Payment being verified | We have your order. We are matching your payment and waiting for the network confirmations. |
| Paid — ordered from our supplier | Your payment is confirmed. We have ordered your device from our distributor. |
| Shipped | Your device is on its way. The carrier, the tracking number and, when available, a link to track the parcel appear on the order. |
| Problem with this order | Something needs attention. Read the note from our team on the order, or email support@msrpcrypto.com. |
| Not received — please contact support | Our system did not accept the order. Email support@msrpcrypto.com with the order reference. |

## How do you follow an order from another device?

Your orders are saved in the browser you used to pay. To see one on another phone or computer, you need two codes shown on the [tracking page](https://msrpcrypto.com/track/):

- the **order reference**: ORD- followed by 8 letters and numbers;
- the **order access code**: 16 digits.

On the other device, open the tracking page, go to **Follow an order from another device** and enter both. Keep the access code private: with the reference, it shows your order status.


## When is another way to pay a better choice?

If you live in the US and pay by card, the manufacturer's own store charges the same MSRP. For the iPhone 17 and iPhone 16, Apple charges $30 less when a US carrier activates the phone; we sell the unlocked model.

We are useful when you want to pay in crypto. According to MSRP Crypto's check of 14 major US stores on 30 October 2026, only Newegg accepts crypto at checkout, through BitPay. BitPay asks for identity checks above $3,000. Our most expensive item, the iPhone Duo 2 TB at $3,199, is above that limit; here it needs only an email and an address.

## Questions about ordering

### Do I need an account to buy?

No. The checkout asks for an email, a name and a shipping address, and nothing else is required. Your order reference and 16-digit access code replace an account login.

### Can I pay by card or PayPal?

No. MSRP Crypto accepts crypto only: Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC). We do not accept cards, PayPal or Monero.

### What does the "I've sent the payment" button do?

It sends your order to our team, empties your cart and opens the tracking page. Press it once your wallet has sent the payment. Paste the transaction ID first if your wallet shows it: it speeds up the check.

### What if I sent the wrong amount or used the wrong network?

Email support@msrpcrypto.com at once with your order reference and the transaction ID. We match payments by their exact amount, so a different amount needs a manual check. A payment sent on another network can be lost.

### When will my order ship?

We order your device once the payment is confirmed on the blockchain, then ship it with tracking. We email the tracking number once the parcel ships. Pre-orders ship after the manufacturer's release, on 6 November 2026 for the October 2026 Apple launches.
