Step-by-Step Guide to Buying Toncoin With PayPal with the CEX.IO App

Buying TON with PayPal is quick once your account is ready. Here’s how it works:

Step 1 – Download and Launch the CEX.IO App

Step 2 – Create or Access Your Account

If you’re new to CEX.IO, tap Register and provide your country, email, and a strong password. Confirm your registration via email. Returning users can simply log in with their credentials to continue.

Step 3 – Verification

For security and compliance, account verification is required. This includes:

• Entering your address and phone number
• Completing a short questionnaire
• Uploading a valid ID (passport, driver’s license, or ID card)
• Passing a quick facial recognition step

Once approved, you’ll unlock PayPal and other supported payment gateways.

Step 4 – Choose TON and Set Amount

From the app dashboard, tap Buy. Select Toncoin (TON) from the list. Enter the amount you want to spend in USD. The app will instantly display how much TON you’ll receive.

Step 5 – Link PayPal

Choose Change Payment Method and select PayPal. Log in to your PayPal account to confirm it is linked. This step ensures future TON purchases can be processed even faster.

Step 6 – Confirm Your Transaction

Review the transaction details, including deposit commission, daily limits, and the TON amount. Once confirmed, your Toncoin will appear in your free CEX.IO Wallet almost instantly.

What other payment methods can I use to buy Toncoin (TON)?

Every CEX.IO customer gets a free CEX.IO wallet, so no matter how you fund your account, you can securely store TON within the platform. If PayPal isn’t available in your region, here are alternatives:

Buy Toncoin with Apple Pay/Google Pay

If you prefer mobile-friendly payments, you can purchase Toncoin directly using Apple Pay or Google Pay through the CEX.IO App. Simply open the app, tap Buy, select Toncoin (TON), and choose your preferred e-wallet at checkout. Transactions are authorized instantly with Face ID, Touch ID, or passcode, and your TON is credited to your free CEX.IO Wallet in minutes.

Some users also like to buy USDC with Apple Pay or buy USDC with Google Pay first, then use the Crypto Converter to seamlessly swap USDC into Toncoin. Both approaches offer fast checkouts, strong security, and fees similar to debit card transactions, making them convenient solutions for mobile buyers.

Buying TON with a Credit or Debit Card

Cards remain one of the most straightforward ways to buy Toncoin. Visa and Mastercard transactions are processed instantly, making them a convenient choice for frequent buyers.

Buying TON with Cash Deposit 

If you prefer paying with physical currency, services like MoneyGram make it possible to buy Bitcoin with cash at supported retail locations. Once the BTC reaches your CEX.IO Wallet, you can quickly swap it for Toncoin using the Crypto Converter.

This method is especially useful for those who don’t want to link cards or bank accounts but still want access to TON. Just keep in mind that cash-based purchases may carry higher service fees compared to digital payment methods.
