Introduction

MoonPay is a popular crypto payment platform designed for simplicity, enabling you to buy cryptocurrencies like $TRX directly with fiat money using a credit card, debit card, or other supported payment methods. Let’s dive into the step-by-step process of purchasing $TRX through MoonPay.

1. Visit the MoonPay Platform

Go to MoonPay’s official website or download and open the app.
Make sure you are accessing the correct site to avoid phishing scams.

2. Select $TRX as Your Target Asset

On the homepage, locate the search bar or token dropdown menu.
Enter TRX or Tron to select it as the cryptocurrency you want to purchase.

3. Input the Amount

Specify how much TRX you’d like to buy or the amount of fiat currency you want to spend (e.g., $100 USD).
MoonPay will display the current conversion rate, which is dynamically updated based on market conditions.

4. Provide Your TRX Wallet Address

Since MoonPay delivers tokens directly to your wallet, you need to provide your personal Tron wallet address.

If you don’t have one, set up a wallet like TronLink or Trust Wallet. Check out our step-by-step guide on how to create one here.
Copy and paste the wallet address carefully to avoid errors (a single mistake could result in lost funds).

5. Choose Your Payment Method

MoonPay supports several payment methods, including:

Credit/Debit Card (Visa, Mastercard, etc.)
Bank Transfers (in some regions)
Apple Pay/Google Pay (if enabled on your device).

6. Verify Your Identity

MoonPay requires identity verification for compliance with regulations:

Upload a valid government-issued ID.
Complete any additional KYC (Know Your Customer) steps, such as a selfie or proof of address.

7. Review and Confirm

Review the transaction details, including:

Purchase amount
Fees (MoonPay charges a small service fee for its convenience)

Once you've verified that everything looks correct, confirm the transaction.

8. Receive Your $TRX

Once your payment is successful, MoonPay will transfer the $TRX tokens to your wallet.
The process is usually instant, but may take a few minutes depending on network congestion.
