How paying in USDT or by card works when you buy from LWD Africa
Every order is paid in full before any car is bought or any shipping is booked. Here is how each payment method works, and how you know your payment has been received.
Only open methods are offered
Checkout only shows a payment method when it is set up and working. If a method is not shown, it is not available for that order. Amounts are calculated on our server and frozen on your order, so the figure you see is the figure you pay.
USDT
After you place the order you are shown the receiving wallet address, the network and the exact amount to send. Send exactly that amount on that network. Payments are matched to your order on the blockchain; an amount that does not match exactly is reviewed by a person before the order moves on.
Bank transfer
After you place the order you are shown our bank details and your order reference. Use the reference so the payment can be matched. Send proof of payment on WhatsApp to speed things up.
Card
When card payment is open it appears at checkout and takes you to a secure hosted payment page. Your order is only marked paid once the payment provider confirms it to us directly.
Questions
- When do I pay?
- You pay in full before we buy the car or book shipping. A saved order or enquiry is not a payment.
- What if I send the wrong USDT amount?
- An amount that does not match exactly is held for manual review. Message us on WhatsApp with your order reference.
