How to use Convert


Option 1: From a token screen

  1. Open the MoonPay app

  2. Select the token you’d like to swap

  3. Tap the three dots (⋯) next to Sell

  4. Select Convert

  5. Enter the amount you want to swap

  6. Review the details, including:

    • Destination chain

    • Output token

    • Estimated amount received*

  7. Approve tokens if prompted (common for ERC-20 tokens)**

  8. Swipe to confirm and sign the transaction in your wallet

Option 2: From the Convert tab

  1. Open the MoonPay app

  2. Select Convert at the bottom of the app

  3. Choose the coin you’d like to convert

  4. Select Convert to for the coin you want to swap to

  5. Enter the amount you want to swap

  6. Review the details, including:

    • Destination chain

    • Output token

    • Estimated amount received*

  7. Approve tokens if prompted (common for ERC-20 tokens)**

  8. Swipe to confirm and sign the transaction in your wallet

*Important: The estimated amount received is not guaranteed. Learn why the final amount may differ.

**Note: Before a swap can happen, some tokens require a one-time approval. This simply means you’re giving permission for the swap contract to move that specific token from your wallet for the trade. You only need to do this once per token. After that, future swaps with the same token won’t ask again — unless you later revoke the approval.

That’s it — your swap will start processing right away.

Does MoonPay charge fees?

MoonPay doesn’t charge processing fees, but blockchain network fees always apply.

Why do I need to approve some tokens first?

ERC-20 and similar tokens require a one-time approval so the swap contract can move that token from your wallet. Once approved, you won’t be asked again unless you revoke it.
