Once you receive your etransfer to your Shakepay account in the amount which you sent, you can then convert it to ETH (ethereum) or BTC (bitcoin) inside of the Shakepay app.
You do this by clicking on the blue circular button at the bottom of the Skakepay app.
Once you tap on this button, then you click on ‘Buy or Sell’ option that pops up.
You will then have the option to switch or buy from your ‘dollars’ to ‘bitcoin or ethereum. Personally, I choose bitcoin because it can be moved easily with no fees.
Ethereum has something called Gas Fees – in order to be able to move it around between cryptocurrency exchanges and online wallets etc.
Bitcoin is just much easier to move and has no fees through this method.
