Step 2: Access the ShapeShift dApp

Once you’re on KeepKey Desktop, navigate to the ShapeShift dApp. ShapeShift provides direct access to buying, selling, and trading crypto assets right from within the KeepKey Desktop app. The integration allows you to purchase crypto directly into your KeepKey hardware wallet, so you retain full control over your assets.

Step 3: Select “Buy Crypto”

In the ShapeShift dApp, you’ll see a “Buy Crypto” button. Click on it to explore various buying options available directly in the KeepKey Desktop interface.

Step 4: Choose Your Preferred Payment Method

You’ll now have several options for purchasing crypto through third-party services integrated within the ShapeShift dApp. The choices may vary based on your location, and each provider offers a different onboarding experience. Here are some of the options you may encounter:

• USA Users: If you’re in the United States, you’ll have access to domestic providers offering easy debit/credit card options with a secure checkout experience.
• International Users: For users outside the USA, Mt Pelerin is a popular choice. Mt Pelerin supports a wide range of countries and provides a straightforward buying experience, making it convenient to buy crypto directly to your KeepKey wallet no matter where you are.

Step 5: Complete Your Payment

After selecting your payment provider, follow the provider’s instructions to complete the transaction. Most providers will guide you through a few steps, such as choosing the amount you’d like to buy, selecting your currency, and entering your payment details.

Step 6: View Your Balance in KeepKey Desktop

Once the transaction is complete, the purchased cryptocurrency will be sent directly to your KeepKey wallet, where it will be securely stored in cold storage. You can then view your updated balance right within KeepKey Desktop to confirm that the funds have arrived safely.

With KeepKey and ShapeShift, buying crypto has never been more secure and user-friendly. From the convenience of credit or debit cards to the security of hardware storage, KeepKey offers a reliable solution for safeguarding your digital assets.
