Buy crypto with fiat
Goal
Generate a MoonPay checkout URL for buying crypto with a credit card or bank transfer. The user completes the purchase in their browser.
Command
mp buy \
--token <currency-code> \
--amount <usd-amount> \
--wallet <destination-address> \
--email <buyer-email>
Supported tokens
btc, sol, eth, trx, pol_polygon, usdc, usdc_sol, usdc_base, usdc_arbitrum, usdc_optimism, usdc_polygon, usdt_trx, eth_polygon, eth_optimism, eth_base, eth_arbitrum
Example flow
- User: "I want to buy $50 of SOL with my credit card."
- Run:
mp buy --token sol --amount 50 --wallet <address> --email user@example.com
- Open the returned checkout URL in the user's browser so they can complete the purchase.
Notes
- This is fiat-to-crypto (credit card / bank), not a token swap.
- For token-to-token swaps, use the moonpay-swap-tokens skill instead.
- The
--amount flag is in USD (e.g. --amount 50 = $50 worth of the token).
- The
--token flag uses MoonPay currency codes, not mint addresses.
- The checkout URL handles KYC and payment processing.
