How do I select a third-party fiat API provider?

Moonpay, Ramp, and Sardine are third-party platforms. As such, Exodus cannot guarantee the performance of their products/services or that the steps shown and the information provided will always be accurate.

In Exodus, you can buy crypto with either Ramp, MoonPay, or Sardine, depending on your region and local crypto regulations.

  • You haven't completed KYC with either provider.

You won't see the option to choose your third-party fiat API provider if:

  • You have KYC'd with all providers. In this case, you'll only see the provider with the best rate.
  • You have completed KYC with the provider that has the best rate.

You can follow the below steps to choose between Ramp, MoonPay, or Sardine if the option is available.

Selecting a payment provider is available in Exodus Web3 Wallet and Mobile.

You can see any fees before you submit an order on the order confirmation screen. Tap the Summary dropdown to see the fee details.

Why isn't my order going through?

Generally, your crypto will arrive between 5-20 minutes.

Some transactions may take a few hours to complete. This is especially true if it's your first purchase, as MoonPay may need to conduct additional checks to ensure the security of its customers.

You can check the status of your order at any time by clicking the transaction tracker link sent in your order confirmation email. You can also go to MoonPay's website and use the Trade history to look up the status of your order.

The tracker will inform you of the status of the transaction, if it failed for any reason, or if MoonPay requires extra information to complete your order.

If your transaction has been stuck for a few hours and there's no clear action to take, contact MoonPay support. When completing the Contact us form:

1
Select Cryptocurrency Buy transactions.

2
In the dropdown menu, select Transaction pending for a long time.
