## Step 1: Get An Account

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Web — connect a wallet">
    <Steps>
      <Step title="Open moove.xyz">
        Go to [moove.xyz](https://www.moove.xyz). The Moove Widget is on the home page.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Click Connect">
        Pick your wallet — MetaMask, Phantom, Base, Trust, Solflare or Backpack — and approve the connection.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Claim your Moove Handle">
        Type the alias you want, like `@yourname`. This is your payment identity: people send to it instead of a wallet address.

        <Note>
          Every Moover needs a handle. It is what links your wallets together and what makes you findable.
        </Note>
      </Step>
    </Steps>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Mobile — create a Moove Wallet">
    <Steps>
      <Step title="Download the Moove App">
        Get the Moove App for [iOS or Android](/get-started/download-app).
      </Step>

      <Step title="Claim your Moove Handle">
        Pick your alias and a display name.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Save your recovery phrase">
        The Moove App creates a **non-custodial** wallet — one only you control — and shows you a recovery phrase. Write it down and store it somewhere safe.

        <Warning>
          The recovery phrase is the only way back into your wallet. moove.xyz cannot see it and cannot reset it. Anyone who has it has your funds.
        </Warning>
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    A Moove Wallet reaches all four network families, including [Bitcoin and Tron](/platform-support/supported-blockchains).
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Step 2: Pick Your Settlement Token

Your **settlement token** is the crypto you want to be paid in, on the chain you want it on. Whatever a payer sends, this is what lands in your wallet.

On the web, open **Settings → Edit Moove Profile → Edit wallet & settlement** and choose it — the settlement token is set on the web only. Most people pick USDC, because it holds its value at about a dollar.

## Step 3: Create Your First Payment Link

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Moove Widget">
    On [moove.xyz](https://www.moove.xyz), select the **Receive** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter an amount">
    Type what you want to be paid. It is denominated in your settlement token.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Create payment link">
    Your link is ready straight away.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy the link">
    Share it with your customer — in an invoice, a DM, a bio link, anywhere.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Get paid">
    Your customer pays in whatever crypto they hold, on whatever chain. It arrives in your wallet in your settlement token. Track it under [Manage → Transactions](/manage/moove-transactions).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Or Do It In Code

If you are a developer, the same payment link is one API call.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create an API key">
    At [moove.xyz/dashboard/api-keys](https://www.moove.xyz/dashboard/api-keys), create a key for the **Moove Receive Agent**. Copy it — it is shown once.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a link">
    ```bash theme={null}
    curl -sS -X POST "https://api.moove.xyz/v1/payment-link" \
      -H "X-API-Key: $MOOVE_API_KEY" \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{ "toAmount": "49.99", "description": "INV-2026-0142", "maxUsage": 1 }'
    ```

    Send the payer to the `url` in the response.
  </Step>
</Steps>
