What is Changelly ?
Changelly is an instant cryptocurrency exchange where you are able to buy cryptocurrency using your credit card.
How to buy?
Step 1. Open "Changelly Buy Crypto" page
Open the Changelly buy crypto page on chips.gg that is located inside the cashier, a quick link can be found below.
Step 2. Select Currency & Network
Once you are on the buy crypto page, you will need to select two things:
Currency you wish to purchase
Network of the currency
Network is as important as the coin, since these days each coin is available on many different networks, note that chips might support coins or networks that might not be available on the changellys plugin, in this case you will need to select another coin or network.
If you look at the example below, we select to buy the coin Ethereum, and the network Ethereum (ERC20) and the plugin loads for us to complete the purchase.
However look what happens when we select a coin or network that isn't supported by the plugin, in the next example we will select the coin Ethereum and the network Binance Smart Chain (BEP20)
Since the changelly.com plugin doesn't support Ethereum (Binance Smart Chain - BEP20) we get the warning message "Currency or chain NOT supported, please make another selection."
Step 3. Select purchase amount and currency you are sending
Once you have selected the cryptocurrency you wish to purchase, now you can input:
The amount of money you wish to spend (purchase with) 100$
Select the fiat currency you wish to buy with, in the picture below it is USD
There are many different fiat currencies you can complete your purchase with, just click on the dropdown and select the currency you wish.
You Get
Once you filled what you wish to spend, below it will show you what you will receive:
The amount of the selected crypto currency you will receive 0.06495 ETH
The crypto currency you are purchasing, in this case ETH (Ethereum - ERC20)
Once you receive the ETH in your chips.gg wallet you might notice the value will be less than 100$ in ETH, and that is after the exchange deducts the following:
Credit card fees
Changelly.com fees
Ethereum blockchain fees
Step 4. Agree to terms and conditions and continue
Once you have completed your selection and you are satisfied with your purchase (Sending and Receiving) you need to read the changelly.com Terms of Use and Privacy Policy and mark the checkbox if you agree to their Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, then click on the deposit button to go to the next step.
Mark the checkbox if you agree to Changelly's Terms of Use and Privacy Policy
After marking the checkbox, click on "Deposit ETH" to continue.
Step 5. Confirm the purchase
Chips.gg has the changelly's plugin installed so that your chips.gg deposit address will be auto filled depending on the coin and network you select.
You should never touch or change this address, doing so will lead to the loss of your funds and having them send to a wrong address
Once you confirm that all the info are correct, click on the "Continue" button to complete your payment
The support button is there in case you need to get in touch with changelly's support for any reason
Step 6. Redirect to complete your purchase
Once you have completed everything on the plugin, click on the redirect button and you will be redirected to the changelly's payment website to complete the payment for your purchase.
You can always cancel and return back by clicking on "New transaction"
Step 7. Complete purchase
Now every step to complete the purchase will be done on the changelly's site. Please contact their support if you need help with any of the steps they present to you.
