New to crypto? No problem. This step-by-step guide walks you through everything you need to pay for your Express Highs order using Bitcoin — even if you’ve never used it before.
What Is Bitcoin, and Why Use It?
Bitcoin is a digital currency that lets you send and receive money over the internet — without a bank in the middle. Transactions are fast, private, and available to anyone with a smartphone or computer.
Paying with Bitcoin at Express Highs is simple, secure, and takes just a few minutes once you’re set up.
What You’ll Need
- A Bitcoin wallet (a free app on your phone or computer)
- A small amount of Bitcoin purchased from an exchange
- Your order total — the app will convert it to Bitcoin automatically
Step 1: Download a Bitcoin Wallet
A Bitcoin wallet is an app that stores your Bitcoin and lets you send it to others. Think of it like a digital version of your bank app.
For beginners, we recommend one of these free and trusted options:
- Coinbase Wallet — very beginner-friendly, available on iOS and Android
- Trust Wallet — popular mobile wallet, supports many currencies
- Exodus — clean interface, available on mobile and desktop
Download the app, create an account, and write down your recovery phrase (usually 12 or 24 words) somewhere safe. This phrase is the key to your wallet — never share it with anyone.
Step 2: Buy Bitcoin
Once your wallet is set up, you need to add Bitcoin to it. The easiest way is through a crypto exchange — a platform where you buy Bitcoin with your bank card or bank transfer.
The following exchanges are available across the EU, support SEPA bank transfers, and are well-suited for beginners:
- Coinbase — beginner-friendly, available in all EU countries, supports major debit and credit cards
- Kraken — well-established, supports SEPA transfers across Europe
- Bitpanda — EU-based and regulated, available in most European countries, supports cards and bank transfers
How to buy:
- Create a free account on the exchange of your choice
- Verify your identity (a quick process — you’ll need a valid ID such as a passport or national ID card)
- Add a payment method (credit/debit card or SEPA bank transfer)
- Buy the amount of Bitcoin that matches your order total — add a small buffer (€2–5 extra) to cover network transaction fees
💡 Tip: Bitcoin can be bought in very small amounts. You don’t need to buy a whole coin — you can buy exactly €30 worth, for example.
Once purchased, your Bitcoin will appear in your exchange account. You can either send it directly from the exchange, or first transfer it to your own wallet (slightly slower but more private).
Step 3: Place Your Order on Express Highs
Browse the store and add your items to the cart as usual. At checkout:
- Fill in your shipping details
- Select Bitcoin as your payment method
- Complete the checkout
At the final step of checkout, you’ll see a Bitcoin wallet address — this is the unique address where you send your payment. It looks something like this: bc1qxy2xxxxxxrsqtzq2n0yrf249p8skm4k5xxxxxx (This is example only.)
Copy this address carefully — you’ll need it in the next step.
Step 4: Send Your Bitcoin Payment
Now open your Bitcoin wallet or exchange app and send the payment.
In most wallet apps:
- Tap Send or Send Bitcoin
- Paste the wallet address you copied from the checkout page (do not type it manually — always paste to avoid errors)
- Enter the amount — either in Bitcoin (BTC) or in your local currency; the app will convert it automatically
- Review the transaction details and confirm
⚠️ Double-check the address before sending. Bitcoin transactions cannot be reversed once sent, so make sure you’ve pasted the correct address from the checkout page.
The payment usually reaches us within 10–30 minutes, depending on network activity.
Step 5: Wait for Your Order Confirmation
Once your Bitcoin payment has been received and confirmed on the blockchain, we’ll process your order. You’ll receive an email update within 1 business day confirming that your order is on its way.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to buy a whole Bitcoin? No — Bitcoin is divisible into tiny units. You only buy and send exactly what your order costs.
Are Bitcoin payments private? More so than credit cards. Your name is not attached to a Bitcoin transaction, only the wallet addresses involved.
What if I send the wrong amount? If you accidentally send less than the order total, contact our support team and we’ll help you sort it out.
What if I make a mistake with the address? Always copy-paste the address directly from the checkout page. If you’re unsure, reach out to support before sending.
Will my Bitcoin value change before I send it? Bitcoin’s price can fluctuate, but since you’re buying and sending within a short timeframe, the difference is usually very small. Buying with a small buffer (a few euros extra) covers this.
Is buying Bitcoin legal in my country? Yes — buying and using Bitcoin is legal across the European Union. All exchanges listed above operate in compliance with EU regulations.
