Welcome! If you're new to cryptocurrency and want to make a payment on linkdapi.com, you're in the right place. This guide will walk you through everything step-by-step, from installing your first crypto app to completing your payment.
Don't worry if this seems complicated at first we'll break it down into simple steps that anyone can follow.
Step 1: Choose and Install a Crypto App
You'll need a crypto wallet app to buy and send cryptocurrency. We recommend one of these three beginner-friendly options:
Option A: Coinbase (Easiest for Beginners)
Best for: Complete beginners, US and European users
Download: Search "Coinbase" in your App Store (iPhone) or Google Play Store (Android)
Why choose this: Most user-friendly interface, great customer support
Option B: Binance (Most Popular Globally)
Best for: Users worldwide, lower fees
Download: Search "Binance" in your App Store or Google Play Store
Why choose this: Available in most countries, competitive rates
Option C: Bybit (Good Alternative)
Best for: International users, simple interface
Download: Search "Bybit" in your App Store or Google Play Store
Why choose this: Fast transactions, good for beginners
Choose ONE app from the list above and install it on your phone.
Step 2: Create Your Account
Once you've installed your chosen app, open it and follow these steps:
For Coinbase:
Tap "Get Started" or "Sign Up"
Enter your email address and create a strong password
Verify your email by clicking the link sent to your inbox
Enter your phone number and verify it with the code sent via SMS
For Binance:
Tap "Register" on the home screen
Choose "Email" or "Phone Number" to sign up
Enter your information and create a password
Complete the verification code sent to you
Agree to the terms and conditions
For Bybit:

Enter your email address or phone number
Create a secure password
Enter the verification code sent to you
Accept the terms of service
Step 3: Verify Your Identity (KYC)
All legitimate crypto platforms require identity verification for security and legal reasons. This process is called "KYC" (Know Your Customer).
What You'll Need:
A government-issued ID (passport, driver's license, or national ID card)
A clear selfie of yourself
How to Complete Verification:
In any of the apps:
Look for "Verify Identity" or "Complete Verification" in the app menu
Select your country and ID type
Take clear photos of your ID (front and back if needed)
Take a selfie following the app's instructions
Wait for approval (usually 10 minutes to 24 hours)
Important: You won't be able to buy crypto until your identity is verified, so do this step right away.
Step 4: Add a Payment Method
Now you need to connect your credit card or bank account to buy cryptocurrency.
For Credit/Debit Card:
Coinbase:
Tap the profile icon, then "Settings"
Select "Payment Methods"
Tap "Add a Payment Method"
Choose "Credit/Debit Card"
Enter your card details and tap "Add Card"

Step 5: Buy Cryptocurrency
Now comes the exciting part—buying your first crypto! For paying on linkdapi.com, we'll use one of these popular cryptocurrencies:
USDT (Tether) - Stable coin, always worth $1
USDC (USDC) - Stable coin, always worth $1
How to Buy Crypto:
Coinbase:
Tap "Trade" at the bottom of the screen
Tap "Buy"
Search for "USDT" or "Tether"
Enter the amount you want to buy (buy a little extra to cover network fees)
Select your payment method
Review the details and tap "Buy Now"
Confirm the purchase
Binance:
Tap "Buy Crypto" on the home screen
Select "Credit/Debit Card"
Choose "USDT" from the cryptocurrency list
Enter the amount in your local currency
Select your payment method
Tap "Buy USDT"
Confirm and complete the purchase
Bybit:
Tap "Buy Crypto" at the bottom menu
Select "One-Click Buy"
Choose "USDT" as the cryptocurrency
Enter the amount you want to spend
Select your payment card
Review and tap "Buy"
How Much Should You Buy?
Buy the exact amount needed for your payment PLUS an extra $5-10 to cover transaction fees (called "gas fees" or "network fees").
Example: If your payment is $50, buy $55-60 worth of USDT.
Step 6: Get the Payment Address from linkdapi.com
Before you can send crypto, you need to know WHERE to send it.
Go to linkdapi.com and proceed to the payment section
You'll see a wallet address (a long string of letters and numbers) or a QR code
You'll also see which network to use (like "TRC20" for USDT, "Bitcoin Network" for BTC, etc.)
CRITICAL: Make sure you note the correct network! Sending on the wrong network could result in lost funds.

Start with a small test transaction if you're nervous
