You chose a crypto offer. What happens next?

There is a satisfying moment in every comparison. A long list becomes a single choice.

Suppose you are buying $250 of USDT. The receive amount looks right, the payment method works, and you tap the offer on Coindisco.

The neat row of numbers disappears. A checkout opens.

Who takes over at checkout

You compared the offers and picked one. The crypto on-ramp provider named in that offer turns your choice into an order. From here it takes the payment and fulfills the purchase under the terms shown there.

The colors may change. You may be asked to sign in or enter an email.

What you spend, what you get

You spend the amount you chose. What you receive in USDT depends on the price at the moment you confirm.

The provider's page shows both figures side by side: what leaves your account, and what should land in your wallet.

Checkout gets personal

The checkout may ask for contact details, payment information, or an identity check. The provider decides what it needs for this transaction. Your country, purchase amount, payment method, and previous activity with that provider can all affect the request.

Some offers are labeled ahead of that: Simplified KYC, or reusable KYC if you passed a check once in the Coindisco app for iOS or Android.

Your bank or payment service may add an approval screen of its own. Once the required checks are complete and the payment is authorized, the provider can process the order.

Same ticker, different network

Tokens with the same ticker live on several networks. The asset name and the network name only mean something together.

The destination address belongs to a network as well. The same wallet can have a different address for each network it supports. The one that lines up is the one taken from the wallet itself.

Save the boring number

After confirmation, the provider gives the purchase an order reference, something like ID XXXX-YYYY-XYYX. That reference, the provider's name and the confirmation email are worth keeping until the crypto arrives.

A purchase can pause while the payment is being confirmed, while the provider reviews the order, or while the blockchain records the transfer. Each stage moves on its own clock.

If the wait gets long, that reference is what the provider asks for. Questions about the payment, the checks or the order go to the provider on the confirmation. Anything that happened on Coindisco goes to the Coindisco Help Center.

The successful finish is quiet. USDT appears in the wallet on the network you chose.
