Buying Bitcoin Online With Bitcoin Depot

Let’s be honest, sometimes we don’t feel like going out. Perhaps the weather is abysmal, and it’s not worth braving the elements.

Let’s be honest, sometimes we don’t feel like going out. Perhaps the weather is abysmal, and it’s not worth braving the elements. Or maybe your mode of transportation isn’t cooperating (we’ve all been there), and getting to a Bitcoin Depot ATM just isn’t in the cards. Or it could be that you just don’t want to leave the comfort of your home. You want to sit back, relax, and enjoy the day.

While we want all our customers to enjoy the wonderful experience of purchasing Bitcoin from a Bitcoin Depot ATM, if going out isn’t in the cards, you can always buy your Bitcoin online through the Bitcoin Depot website.

Why Buy Bitcoin Online?

Before we show you how easy it is to buy Bitcoin through Bitcoin Depot, let’s talk about why you should do so.

Quick and easy

First, buying Bitcoin online is a quick and easy way to add Bitcoin to your wallet. You don’t have to sit and wait for a transaction. All you need to do is enter your wallet address, provide a payment method, then wait for your Bitcoin to arrive. You’ll have Bitcoin in a matter of minutes, and you never have to leave your couch.

Convenient

Don’t have cash? That’s not a problem if you’re buying Bitcoin online. All you need is a credit or debit card, and you can add some Bitcoin to your wallet through the Bitcoin Depot website anytime and from anywhere.

Safe and secure

Safety and security are paramount when buying anything online and it’s no less true when purchasing Bitcoin. When using the Bitcoin Depot site to buy Bitcoin, your transaction is going through a secure online portal that ensures your information is protected.

How to Buy Bitcoin Online with Bitcoin Depot

So, how does one go about buying Bitcoin on the Bitcoin Depot website? We’re going to show you!

Create a crypto wallet

First things first, you need a wallet in which to store your crypto after you buy it. Don’t have one? You’re in luck. The Bitcoin Depot mobile app has a built-in wallet. You can download it from either the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store (or both if you want).

Provide your info

Next, you’ll enter your debit or credit card info, along with your billing information. This is how you’ll pay for your Bitcoin. The site will also ask for your wallet address. If you have the Bitcoin Depot app, you can use the built-in wallet.

Open up the wallet and click “Receive” to find your wallet address. If you have a camera on your computer, you can scan the QR code instead of copying and pasting the address into the website.

Enter Simplex details

In the next step, you’ll enter your Simplex bank account details. Once that’s entered, you’ll receive a one-time confirmation code via SMS. Provide that code, and then move on to the next step.

Transaction approval

Click “Approve” on the next screen to confirm and verify your purchase. When payment completes successfully, you’ll get a confirmation email from Simplex.

That’s all there is to it! You’ve now purchased Bitcoin through the Bitcoin Depot website.

FAQs

There are plenty of questions when it comes to buying crypto online, no matter where you’re getting it. Here are some of the more commonly asked ones:

Is it safe to buy crypto online?

When it comes to buying crypto online, it’s always better to be safe than sorry. Check and double-check that the site you’re using is legitimate and the payment system is secure. That’s why Bitcoin Depot uses Simplex for its online debit and credit card transactions. Every purchase goes through a secure portal, which provide protection and security for your funds.

Do I have to have a Bitcoin Depot account to buy through the website?

You don’t have to have an account. You only need two things to purchase Bitcoin through Bitcoin Depot’s website. 1) A crypto wallet that supports Bitcoin, and 2) a valid credit or debit card. That’s it.
