First-time wallet payment guide

If the buyer is ready but new to crypto payment, keep the instructions brutally simple.

This page is for first-time or low-confidence crypto payers. The goal is not to teach everything about wallets. The goal is to help them send the correct deposit on the correct network to the correct address, then share the tx hash so work can start.

  • USDC preferred asset
  • Base preferred network
  • Hash required after payment

Payment Map

Use the same simple sequence every time.

1. Confirm The Deposit Amount

Make sure the buyer knows the agreed deposit amount before they open the wallet. Do not leave the payment number vague.

2. Confirm The Network

Preferred route is USDC on Base. Fallback route is USDC or ETH on Ethereum. The network needs to match on both sides.

3. Copy The Exact Wallet

The buyer should copy the address directly and compare the first and last characters before sending.

4. Send The Payment

If they are unfamiliar, they can send a very small test first, then the main deposit. After the transfer, send the tx hash.

Wallet

Preferred route: USDC on Base.

Fallback route is USDC or ETH on Ethereum if agreed first. Use the same network on both sides and send the tx hash after payment.

Common Mistakes

Most payment friction comes from a few repeated errors.

Wrong Network

Sending on an unsupported network creates avoidable recovery risk. Confirm Base or Ethereum before funds move.

Wrong Asset

Use the agreed asset only. Preferred is USDC for stable pricing, not a random token held in the wallet.

No Tx Hash Sent

Payment is not operationally complete until the tx hash is shared and kickoff can begin.

Short Payment Lines

Use concise lines when the buyer just needs the next step.

Network Line

Preferred route is USDC on Base. If you want Ethereum instead, confirm it first so the network matches on both sides.

Safety Line

Copy the wallet directly, check the first and last characters, and if you are unfamiliar, send a tiny test first.

Kickoff Line

After the payment lands, send the tx hash and the project brief. That is enough to move into kickoff.

Best Next Routes

Route to the shortest page that solves the next blocker.

Need Scope First

If the buyer still needs package clarity, route back to the offer or deal desk before sending them to pay.

Open Offer Page

Need Internal Sign-Off

If the buyer still needs approval, send the approval pack before trying to walk them through wallet steps.

Open Approval Pack

Need Post-Approval Path

If approval is done but the payer wants one short written sequence from sign-off into payment, route to approval-to-payment.

Ready Now

If the buyer already understands the payment path, route back to the main payment page and collect the deposit.
