Pay by card
The fallback for when you don't have crypto handy — pay a single order by card, right in the chat.
If you have crypto, sending USDC to your address is the smoothest way to fund. But you don't have to — when you'd rather pay a single order by card (or any crypto token), just say so. The ghost sends you a one-tap link to pay the exact total, and places the order automatically once your payment clears. You never have to come back and confirm again.
"pay for it with my card" "can i just pay the $42 by card?"
How it works
Pick something and get the all-in total
Same as any order — the ghost shows you the full price (item + a small tax/shipping buffer + the service fee) and you say yes. See Pricing.
Tap the pay link
The ghost texts you a one-tap checkout for that exact total. Pay with a card or any crypto token.
It orders itself
The moment your payment clears, the ghost places the order and texts you the confirmation. No need to return to the chat.
The price you pay is the same all-in total you confirmed — paying by card doesn't change the fee. Any unused tax/shipping buffer still comes back to you automatically. See Refunds & returns.
Pay-per-order vs. topping up
| Pay by card per order | Send USDC to your balance | |
|---|---|---|
| When | You're buying one thing now | You want a balance ready to spend |
| Amount | The exact order total | Whatever you choose |
| Leftover | None — it's just that order | Stays in your balance for next time |
Buying often, and have crypto? Sending USDC once is smoother than paying by card every time — the ghost catches the deposit automatically, and your balance carries over between orders.
