Overview

This updated guide explains how to buy Litecoin (LTC) on Coinbase and send it safely to the address provided on your Dashboard or SHOP page.

Follow these simple steps to complete your payment correctly:

1. Create a Coinbase account and verify your identity.
2. Add a payment method.
3. Buy Litecoin (LTC).
4. Send Litecoin (LTC) to the address shown in your Dashboard or Shop page.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Create a Coinbase Account
   Go to the Coinbase website or download the Coinbase app. Click Get Started and create an account using your real name, email, and a secure password. You will receive a verification email; click the link to confirm your email.
2. Verify Your Identity
   Coinbase requires identity verification. Sign in, then upload a valid government ID such as a passport or driver’s license. This step is required before you can buy or send crypto.
3. Set Up a Payment Method
   After logging in, go to Settings → Payment Methods and add your bank account or debit card. Bank transfers may take a few days, while debit cards allow instant purchases.
4. Buy Litecoin (LTC)
   In the Coinbase app or website, go to Trade. Search for Litecoin (LTC) and select it. Enter the amount of LTC you want to buy, review the transaction details, and confirm your purchase.
5. Send Litecoin (LTC) to the Address from Your Dashboard or Shop Page
   Once your purchase is complete, send your Litecoin as follows:
   1. Open your Coinbase account and go to Assets.
   2. Select Litecoin (LTC) and click Send.
   3. Visit the Dashboard or SHOP page to get your unique Litecoin address.
   4. Copy the Litecoin wallet address exactly as shown.
   5. Paste this address into the recipient field on Coinbase.
   6. Enter the amount of Litecoin (LTC) you want to send and review the network information carefully.

   ⚠️ Important: When sending crypto, always select the original Litecoin network (for LTC) or original Bitcoin network (for BTC).

   Do not use BASE, ERC20, or any other network Coinbase may suggest — these are not compatible with external wallet addresses and will result in total loss of funds.

   Once you confirm the correct network and address, click Send Now to complete your transaction.

   Never reuse an old crypto address. Each transaction requires a new unique address.
