What if I don't see my local fiat currency?

When buying crypto, fees are included in the total amount shown on the purchase screen.

MoonPay also includes a network transaction fee to cover transaction costs. This fee goes to the miners or validators of that blockchain. You can read more about how network transaction fees work here: What are transaction fees?

For example, if you choose to pay $100 USD, that is all you will be charged.

Fees will change in response to market conditions.

MoonPay orders

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 could happen if it's your first purchase, because MoonPay may need to conduct additional checks.

However, some factors could prevent your payment from going through, which may stop your crypto from arriving.

Ensure your payment was completed:

First, check that your payment wasn't rejected for any reason.

  • After completing your order, you should have received an email with a link to the transaction summary. You can check the status of your order at any time with the link in your order confirmation email.

  • If your payment was rejected, you may need to contact your bank

Ensure your Exodus wallet is synced to the blockchain:

If your payment went through, and it's been longer than 5-20 minutes, and you still haven't received your crypto, check that your wallet is synced to the blockchain.

If your transaction has been stuck for a few hours and there's no clear action to take, contact MoonPay Support.
