Last March, SparkPoint made a big leap to expand the reach of the SRK token to millions of potential users and e-commerce merchants worldwide. One of the most recent partners on board is Shopping.io.

Hence, in this article, we will learn the step-by-step process of using the SRK (ERC-20) token as a form of payment through CoinPayments when shopping at Shopping.io.

But before we proceed to the tutorial, let’s first have a short overview of Shopping.io and CoinPayments.

Overview

Shopping.io

Shopping.io was established last December 2020 founded by drop shipping veterans. The platform allows users to buy online using cryptocurrency. SPI is their native token to unlock plan discounts and benefits, but it is not required to have SPI tokens to make purchases. According to Shopping.io, their company’s mission and vision are to establish the mainstream adoption of crypto e-commerce while engaging retail on a mass scale.

CoinPayments

CoinPayments is a global crypto payment gateway with nearly 3 million users and merchants across more than 200 countries. In SparkPoint’s integration with Shopping.io, buyers shall choose CoinPayments as the payment gateway to use the SRK token as payment.

Now, let’s proceed to the tutorial on how to use the SRK token as payment. And if you’re new to this platform, you will need to follow some steps in setting up your account first.

Step 1: Go to the Shopping.io official website.

On the upper right-hand corner, click the Login button. If you’re a new member, click the You can sign up here button. Those who are members already, kindly proceed to Step 7.

Once you click the sign-up button, the list of different membership plan prices will appear.

You can decide on what membership plan you’ll select and maybe, that depends on what fits your needs. Just make sure to read the details of each subscription properly. In my case, I am only going to select the Free Account. Click the Sign-Up button.

Step 2: Connect your Wallet
