How to Buy Shiba Inu (SHIB) with Apple Pay Instantly on CEX.IO
CEX.IO gives you the freedom to choose how you want to fund your crypto purchases. From bank transfers and cards to modern e-wallets, our platform supports a wide variety of gateways for buying Shiba Inu (SHIB) and 200+ other assets in USD, EUR, and GBP.
For Apple device users, Apple Pay offers a smooth and secure checkout experience. Instead of entering card details manually, you can authorize transactions with Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode. This not only saves time but also adds an extra layer of privacy to your SHIB purchase. Let’s look at how you can get started.
Step-by-Step Guide to Purchasing SHIB with the CEX.IO App
Buying SHIB with Apple Pay is straightforward. With a few simple steps in the CEX.IO App, you can add SHIB to your wallet in minutes.
Step 1 – Download and Launch the CEX.IO App
Open the App Store on your iPhone or iPad, search for “CEX.IO App,” and tap download. Once installed, launch the app to access your wallet, trading features, and payment methods. The app is your secure entry point into the CEX.IO ecosystem.
Step 2 – Create or Access Your Account
If you’re new, tap Register and complete:
- Country of residence
- Email address
- Strong password
Then, accept the terms and conditions. You’ll receive a confirmation email to activate your account. Returning users can simply tap Log In.
Step 3 – Verification
Verification ensures compliance with KYC/AML rules and unlocks full platform functionality. At CEX.IO, it usually takes under five minutes. Having a valid ID (passport, driver’s license, or national ID card) handy makes the process even faster.
Steps include:
- Selecting your country
- Adding your full address and postal code
- Providing your phone number
- Completing facial recognition
- Uploading a valid identity document
Step 4 – Choose Shiba Inu and Set Amount
In the app, tap Buy, then choose Shiba Inu (SHIB) from the list. Enter the amount you’d like to spend in fiat (USD, EUR, or GBP). The app will show the SHIB amount you’ll receive before you continue.
Step 5 – Link Apple Pay
If Apple Pay is set up on your device, it will appear as a payment method automatically. If not, tap Change Payment Method and select it from the list. Make sure you have a card or bank account connected to your Apple Wallet.
Step 6 – Confirm with Apple Pay
Finalize the purchase using Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode. Review fees and totals, then tap Confirm. SHIB will be credited to your CEX.IO wallet almost instantly.
What are the fees for buying Shiba Inu with Apple Pay?
Apple Pay purchases carry a commission between 0.49% and 4.99% plus a service charge, with daily deposit limits of $20–$1,000 (or currency equivalent). Withdrawals via Apple Pay are not supported.
For comparison, Visa/Mastercard have similar fee ranges, though Visa supports higher withdrawal caps. SEPA transfers are a low-cost alternative, with a flat €2.99 fee and no set upper limit, but slower processing times.

FAQ
How to buy Shiba Inu (SHIB) with an Apple Pay gift card?
At the moment, it’s not possible to buy Shiba Inu (SHIB) directly with an Apple Pay gift card. Apple Gift Cards and App Store & iTunes Gift Cards are designed to fund your Apple ID balance, which can then be used for Apple services, apps, or hardware, but not for cryptocurrency purchases.
To buy SHIB at CEX.IO with Apple Pay, you’ll need to link a supported debit/credit card or bank account to your Apple Wallet. Once connected, Apple Pay becomes available as a payment method in the CEX.IO App, allowing you to purchase SHIB instantly and securely.
Note: Always check that your chosen payment method is active in Apple Wallet before starting your SHIB purchase on CEX.IO.
How long does it take to buy SHIB with Apple Pay?
The process is nearly instant. Once you confirm with Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode, the purchase is processed within seconds. SHIB appears in your wallet right away, ready to hold, send, or trade.
What other payment methods can I use to buy Shiba Inu (SHIB)?
If you’d prefer not to use Apple Pay, CEX.IO offers several other convenient ways to purchase SHIB. Depending on your region and preferences, you can:
- Buy crypto with Google Pay: Android users can link their cards or bank accounts to Google Pay and complete SHIB purchases in just a few taps. This method provides the same convenience and speed as Apple Pay.
- Buy crypto with PayPal: Currently supported only for US-based customers, PayPal allows eligible users to fund their CEX.IO accounts and buy SHIB quickly through a familiar and trusted payment system.
- Buy crypto with cash: Services like MoneyGram let you deposit cash at supported locations, which can then be used to purchase SHIB and other cryptocurrencies on CEX.IO. This method suits those who prefer in-person payments.
- Buy crypto with a bank account: Using SEPA or SWIFT transfers, customers can fund their balances directly from their bank. While processing takes longer than e-wallets, bank transfers usually have lower fees and higher limits, making them suitable for larger purchases.
