Crypto Payments: Networks, Confirmations & Common Mistakes

Last updated on Apr 18, 2026

Overview

Leakshaven crypto payments are simple wallet-to-wallet payments.

That means you select the crypto payment option, copy the payment details shown at checkout, then send the funds from your own wallet or broker.

Once we receive the funds and the transaction has enough on-chain confirmations, your purchase is credited automatically.

If you are completely new to crypto, start with this guide first:

How to Spin-Up a Crypto Wallet in Minutes

How Crypto Payments Work

  1. Open the checkout and choose your crypto payment option.

  2. Copy the payment details exactly as shown.

  3. Send the funds from your wallet or broker.

  4. Wait for the blockchain confirmations.

  5. Once the payment is received and confirmed, your purchase is credited automatically.

The Biggest Gotcha: Always Use the Correct Network

Some currencies exist on multiple networks.

This is especially important for assets such as:

  • ETH
  • USDT / Tether
  • other multi-network assets

If the payment page asks you to use a specific network, you must send the funds on that exact network.

For example, if the checkout expects Ethereum / ETH chain, but the customer later sends the funds on Base, the funds may be lost and the order may not be credited correctly.

So before sending, always check:

  • the selected currency
  • the selected network
  • the destination address

Confirmations Can Take Time

Crypto payments are not credited the second the transaction is broadcast.

We credit purchases after the payment has received sufficient on-chain confirmations.

So even if the transfer is visible in your wallet immediately, it can still take some time before the order is credited.

Which Coins Are Best for Starters?

LTC Is Usually the Easiest Choice

For new users, LTC is usually the best starting option because:

  • it uses a single straightforward chain
  • it is usually fast
  • network fees are usually reasonable

BTC Works, But Fees Can Be High

BTC works, but sending fees can be relatively high.

Because of that, it is often better for new users to avoid BTC unless they specifically want to use it.

Exact Amounts

Customers do not need to worry too much about matching the exact amount perfectly.

We allow some limited leeway.

That said, you should still try to send the correct amount shown at checkout whenever possible.

If Something Goes Wrong

If there is any issue, please contact support.

The most helpful details are:

  • the address you sent the funds to
  • a screenshot of the transaction from your wallet or broker
  • your order ID

You can find helpful payment details and order information here:

Settings > Payments

If available, it can also help to include the transaction hash and the currency you used.

Final Reminder

Before sending crypto, always double-check:

  • the currency
  • the network
  • the address
  • the amount

Using the wrong network is one of the easiest ways to lose funds.
