How to pay with Solana Network on Cryptorefills

At Cryptorefills, we are committed to providing fast and efficient crypto payments, and that’s why we support the Solana network as one of our payment options. However, some users mistakenly believe that we accept Solana (SOL) tokens for payments.

In this article, we’ll clarify what payment tokens we accept on the Solana network, how to convert SOL to USDC, and how to successfully complete your payments using USDC or PYUSD on Solana.
 

Does Cryptorefills accept Solana (SOL) token?

The Solana network is often associated with its native token, SOL, which is used for transaction fees and staking. However, Cryptorefills does not accept SOL for payments.

Instead, we currently support two stablecoins on the Solana network for purchases:

  • USDC (USD Coin)
     
  • PYUSD (PayPal USD)


If you send SOL as payment, the transaction will not be valid, and you may risk losing your funds.
 

How to convert SOL to USDC or PYUSD

If you only have SOL in your wallet, you’ll need to swap it for USDC or PYUSD before making a payment. Here’s how:

Option 1: Use a Decentralized Exchange (DEX) on Solana

  1. Go to a Solana DEX – Visit a decentralized exchange like Raydium, Orca, or Jupiter.
     
  2. Connect Your Wallet – Use a Solana-compatible wallet like Phantom, Solflare, or Trust Wallet.
     
  3. Select Tokens – Choose SOL as the token to swap and USDC or PYUSD as the token to receive.
     
  4. Enter the Amount – Decide how much SOL you want to convert.
     
  5. Approve the Swap – Confirm the transaction in your wallet.
     
  6. Receive USDC – Once the swap is complete, you’ll see USDC or PYUSD in your wallet.

 

Option 2: Convert SOL to USDC or PYUSD on a Centralized Exchange (CEX)

  • Deposit SOL to an Exchange – Send your SOL to a crypto exchange that supports Solana, such as Binance, Coinbase, or Kraken.
     
  • Trade SOL for USDC or PYUSD – Use the SOL/USDC or SOL/PYUSD trading pair to convert your tokens.
     
  • Withdraw USDC or PYUSD to Your Wallet – Send USDC or PYUSD back to your Solana wallet before making a purchase.


Once you have USDC or PYUSD in your wallet, you can proceed with your payment at Cryptorefills.
 

Why Does Cryptorefills Accept USDC and PYUSD on Solana?

Stablecoins like USDC and PYUSD offer several advantages for payments:

  • Price Stability – Unlike SOL, which fluctuates in value, stablecoins remain pegged to the US dollar.
     
  • Low Fees & Fast Transactions – Solana provides near-instant transactions with minimal fees.
     
  • Reliable Payment Processing – Stablecoins ensure smooth transactions without the risk of price changes.


Since SOL is primarily used for network fees and staking, it is not an ideal payment method for purchases.

While Cryptorefills supports the Solana network, we do not accept SOL as a payment token. Instead, users can pay with USDC and PYUSD on Solana for fast and low-cost transactions.

If you only have SOL, you can easily convert it to USDC using a DEX or CEX before making a payment.

To avoid payment mistakes, always ensure that you select USDC (Solana) or PYUSD (Solana) before sending your funds.
