# Moove Pay

> Set up the Moove App once, verify your identity, then pay a merchant's payment link by card or PayID — in the browser or straight from your phone.

Pay a merchant's payment link by Visa, Mastercard or PayID. You set up once in the Moove App — a Moove Handle and a verified identity — and from then on you pay in the browser, signing in by scanning a code with your phone, or straight from the Moove App.

<Info>
  **You need the Moove App and a verified identity to pay by card or PayID.** Paying in crypto from a wallet needs neither — choose **Crypto** on the checkout instead.
</Info>

## What Does Setting Up Involve?

<Steps>
  <Step title="Get the Moove App and claim a Moove Handle">
    About a minute.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify your identity">
    Once, in the Moove App.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pay">
    On the web, choose **Card** or **PayID** and scan to sign in. On your phone, open the payment in the Moove App.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## How Do I Get The Moove App?

<Steps>
  <Step title="Download the Moove App">

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Claim your Moove Handle">
    On **Create @moovehandle**, type the handle you want. A green tick means it is free — tap **Next**.

      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/moove/5uvFNyml3oasgM6C/images/pay-with-moove/create-handle.webp?fit=max&auto=format&n=5uvFNyml3oasgM6C&q=85&s=c97863bb85a6740707f031eff63545d1" alt="The Create @moovehandle screen with an available handle" width="260" data-path="images/pay-with-moove/create-handle.webp" />
    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add your referrer, if you have one">
    On **Did anyone refer you?**, search for the Moove Handle of whoever invited you, or leave it blank. Tap **Sign up** and the Moove App creates your Moove Wallet on your phone.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Land on your home screen">
    Your Moove Handle sits at the top, with your wallet balance underneath.

    <Warning>
      **Back up your recovery phrase now.** Sign-up does not show it. Open the account menu → **Your crypto wallets**, tap **…** on your wallet, then **Show recovery phrase**, and store it offline. It is the only way to restore your wallet — moove.xyz never sees it and can never reset it.
    </Warning>

    </Frame>
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  **You do not need to add a card in the Moove App to pay on the web.** You type your card into the checkout each time. **Add payment method** saves a card or bank account for buying crypto with [Moove Ramp](/transact/moove-ramp).
</Note>

Verification can be rejected if your details do not match your document. [Moove Ramp](/transact/moove-ramp#how-do-i-verify-my-identity) covers what each country asks for and what to do if a check fails.

## How Do I Pay By Card?

On the merchant's payment link, in any browser. The steps below are on a computer.

</Frame>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the payment link">
    The checkout shows who you are paying and how much. On a link priced in local currency, stay on the **Fiat** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Card">
    The first time on this browser, a **Scan to pay** code opens so you can sign in.

    <Frame>
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/moove/5uvFNyml3oasgM6C/images/pay-with-moove/scan-to-sign-in.webp?fit=max&auto=format&n=5uvFNyml3oasgM6C&q=85&s=58b4518ac8a61eeb13f44f5f2a258b50" alt="The Scan to pay dialog, with a sign-in code to scan with the Moove App" width="2000" height="995" data-path="images/pay-with-moove/scan-to-sign-in.webp" />
    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Scan the code with the Moove App">
    Tap the scan icon at the top right of the Moove App home screen and point it at the code.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve the sign-in on your phone">
    **Sign in on web** shows the **Account** and **Signing wallet** that will sign in. Check it is yours, then tap **Connect**. The checkout signs you in on its own.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter your card">
    **Card number**, **Expiry date**, **CVV** and **Name on card**, then click **Pay**.

    <Frame>
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/moove/5uvFNyml3oasgM6C/images/pay-with-moove/card-details.webp?fit=max&auto=format&n=5uvFNyml3oasgM6C&q=85&s=b1936a2c90277f00bbd0a25ad1723754" alt="The card form on the checkout, with card number, expiry, CVV and name fields and a Pay button" width="2000" height="995" data-path="images/pay-with-moove/card-details.webp" />
    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Watch it go through">
    The checkout follows the payment to the end. You can close the page once it is processing — the payment keeps going.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  **On your phone instead?** The checkout offers **Open Moove App** rather than a code. The Moove App asks you to confirm you started the sign-in on that phone — only continue if you did.
</Tip>

### What Do The Payment Statuses Mean?

| Status | What it means |
| - | - |
| **Confirming your payment** | Your card payment is processing |
| **Payment received** | Paid, and on its way to the merchant |
| **Payment complete** | The merchant has received it |
| **Payment on hold** | Received, and being reviewed before it reaches the merchant |
| **Refund in progress** / **Payment refunded** | Your payment is being, or has been, returned to your card |
| **Payment not completed** | No payment was taken for this attempt. Click **Start a new payment** to try again |

## What If I Have Not Verified Yet?

You can still scan the code. The Moove App says **Verify your identity before signing in to pay by card** and offers **Verify identity** in place of **Connect** — it picks up wherever you left off. Once you are verified, click **Card** on the checkout again.

If you are signed in but the checkout still cannot take your card, it explains why and offers **Continue**, which hands the payment over to the Moove App.

## What If My Card Payment Does Not Go Through?

| What the checkout says | What to do |
| - | - |
| **Verify your identity in the Moove app to pay by card.** | Verify your identity in the Moove App, then click **Card** again |
| **We're finishing verifying you with our payment partner. Try again in a minute.** | Wait a minute, then click **Card** again |
| **You've reached your card payment limit for now.** | Try later, or pay from a crypto wallet |
| **This amount can't be paid by card.** | Pay from a crypto wallet instead |
| **This payment link has already been paid, or someone else is paying it right now.** | Try again in a few minutes |
| **Your card payment couldn't be started. Please try again.** | Click **Try again** |
| **This sign-in code has expired.** | Click **Refresh** for a new code |

## Which Payment Methods Can I Use?

The checkout lists every method the merchant accepts. **Card** and **PayID** appear only on merchants who take them.

| Method | Where | How it works |
| - | - | - |
| **Card** | Web checkout or the Moove App | Visa or Mastercard. On the web you type your card into the checkout; in the Moove App you pay with a card saved there |
| **PayID** | Web checkout or the Moove App | Links priced in Australian dollars. Signs in and checks your identity the same way as **Card** |
| **Moove** | Web checkout | Hands the payment to the Moove App — **Scan to pay** on a computer, **Open in app** on a phone |
| **Crypto** | Web checkout | Connect any [supported wallet](/platform-support/supported-wallets) and pay in what you hold. No Moove account and no identity check |
| **Apple Pay**, **Google Pay** | Moove App | Coming soon |

### How Do I Pay By PayID?

Australia. On a link priced in Australian dollars, click **PayID** on the checkout and sign in the same way as for a card.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Click Get PayID details">
    The checkout shows the **PayID**, the **Exact amount**, a **Payment reference** and an **Expiration date**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pay from your banking app">
    Send the exact amount to that PayID, quoting the payment reference. Pay before the expiration date.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Watch it go through">
    The checkout follows the transfer until the merchant has received it.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Send the transfer **once**, for the exact amount, with the reference. Changed your mind before sending? Click **Pay another way** and confirm **I haven't sent it**.
</Warning>

### How Do I Pay On My Phone?

Open the payment link on your phone and pay in the Moove App, without signing in on the web.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Tap Open in app">
    On the **Moove** row of the checkout. The payment opens in the Moove App. Without the Moove App installed, you are taken to the App Store or Google Play.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose how to pay under From">
    The payment opens on the **Fiat** tab. Tap **From** to pick a card saved in the Moove App, or PayID in Australia. No card saved yet? [Add one](/transact/moove-ramp#add-a-card) — it takes a moment. **Crypto** pays from your Moove Wallet instead.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Tap Pay">
    **You're paying** shows exactly what you are charged, with the **Settlement time** underneath. For a card, enter its security code — your bank may add a check of its own.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Watch it go through">
    The Moove App follows the payment until **Payment complete**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

On a computer, the same **Moove** row shows **Scan to pay**: scan it with the Moove App and the payment opens on your phone.
