Why buy crypto with AstroPay on Switchere
Wallet, Card, or local methods - one account
AstroPay holds a multi-currency balance and also issues a virtual Mastercard against it. Pay an order from the wallet balance, from the card, or top up at checkout using local methods like PIX, OXXO, Mercado Pago, SPEI, or PSE - all from the same account.
One Touch for repeat orders
After the first authorization, One Touch stores the consent so future orders settle without redirecting back to AstroPay. Useful for users who buy on a regular cadence and do not want to re-enter the login flow each time.
Built for regions where cards struggle with crypto
AstroPay is widely used across Latin America and other emerging markets where local card support for crypto MCCs is inconsistent. The platform sees an AstroPay charge, not your local card - so an issuer that would have declined the swipe never gets the chance to.
Live rates, transparent fees
The exchange rate, the service fee, and the final crypto amount are shown on the confirmation screen before the AstroPay redirect. No hidden spreads, no surprise deductions on the platform side.
Buy crypto with AstroPay from your phone
The Switchere mobile app handles the AstroPay redirect cleanly. Place the order, log in to AstroPay on the same device, and watch the order status update in real time. Once One Touch is enabled, the redirect step disappears for repeat orders entirely.
Same converter, same coin list, same loyalty discounts as the web version - finished by a single AstroPay authorization, or none at all after One Touch is set.
Live rates and order status are always one tap away, so you can decide and act when the market gives you a window.
Frequently asked questions
-
Can I buy crypto with AstroPay on Switchere?
Yes. AstroPay is supported as a payment method for crypto purchases. You can pay from your AstroPay Wallet balance or your virtual AstroPay Card. You will need an active, verified AstroPay account with enough balance in a supported currency - or a sufficient card limit - to cover the order plus any AstroPay-side fees. -
What is AstroPay One Touch and is it safe?
One Touch is a stored-consent feature: the first time you pay a merchant via AstroPay, you can authorize the merchant to charge your AstroPay account directly on future orders without the full redirect-and-login flow. The consent is scoped to one merchant, can be revoked from your AstroPay account at any time, and every charge still appears in your AstroPay activity log with a real-time notification. -
Why use AstroPay instead of a local card?
AstroPay bypasses the local card-issuer leg of the transaction entirely. If your bank flags crypto-related charges - which is common across Latin America and other emerging markets - paying from a funded AstroPay Wallet or its virtual Mastercard skips that whole conversation. The card issuer never sees the merchant; it just sees a top-up to AstroPay. -
Which local funding methods does AstroPay support?
Coverage depends on your country, but commonly used options include PIX (Brazil), Mercado Pago, OXXO (Mexico), SPEI (Mexico), PSE (Colombia), Khipu (Chile), and bank transfer in several regional currencies. You can also top up with international cards. The exact list is shown inside AstroPay when you fund the wallet. -
How long does the order take?
The AstroPay authorization is processed in seconds when paying from an existing balance. Topping up the wallet via a local method first can add a few minutes (PIX is near-instant; bank transfer can take longer). After the platform receives the payment, it broadcasts the crypto transfer to the network - delivery to your wallet depends on the destination chain. Bitcoin typically takes 10-30 minutes during normal load, while networks like Tron or Polygon settle in under a minute. -
What does it cost?
The platform service fee plus the live exchange rate, both shown before the AstroPay redirect. Loyalty members earn up to 45% off the platform service fee on qualifying orders. AstroPay applies its own currency-conversion or funding-method fees on its side - those are visible inside AstroPay before you confirm.
