How VENDO works

From your wallet to the real world.

Pay for real gift cards with any Solana token that has a swap route. One signature in your own wallet swaps the token and pays for the card. VENDO never holds your coins.

Shop cards Your orders

Pick a real card

Gift cards in 250 countries (599 in the US alone), at our card partner's price, in the amounts each card is sold in. No account, no sign-up.

Pay with a token you hold

Connect Phantom and choose any token in your wallet. Jupiter quotes the swap live, every 20 seconds. If a token can't pay, you're told before you sign.

Sign once

One transaction swaps your token to USDC and pays the exact invoice. Either all of it happens or none of it does. If anything comes up short, nothing moves.

Open your code

The card is delivered once the payment confirms, usually within a minute, and waits in Orders. VENDO's server never stores your codes.

02How an order travels

Phantom on desktop for now.

4
Enter an email and press Pay
VENDO creates the invoice and builds one transaction. Phantom shows it in full, network fee included, before you sign.
The invoice stays open for 60 minutes.
5

6
Open your code

05Order statuses

The words Orders and the progress rail use, each defined three ways.

Payment sent

How you get it: Phantom returns a signature for your transaction.
What it means: Your transaction is on its way to Solana. Nothing else to do.
Without it: You haven't signed, or you cancelled in Phantom. The invoice stays open; press Pay again.

Payment confirmed

How you get it: Our card partner sees the USDC arrive at the invoice's address.
What it means: The card is paid for. Delivery usually follows within a minute.
Without it: The payment hasn't been seen yet. Checks run every 12 seconds.

Card delivered

How you get it: Our card partner issues the card.
What it means: It's sealed in Orders. Open code shows it.
Without it: Still on its way, or held (below).

On hold

How you get it: Our card partner pauses an order for a manual check.
What it means: Your payment arrived. The card is either delivered or refunded.
Without it: Most orders never see it.

Nothing moved

How you get it: Your transaction failed on Solana, usually because the price moved past the slippage.
What it means: Because it's one transaction, the swap failed too. Your token is still in your wallet.
Without it: Your transaction landed.

Expired

How you get it: Nobody paid the invoice within 60 minutes.
What it means: Nothing was charged. Start a new order.
Without it: The invoice was paid, or is still open.

08FAQ

No. You pay from your own wallet in one transaction you sign. VENDO's server builds it but can't sign it.

No. A wallet and an email for the receipt are all it takes.

Any Solana token with a swap route, as long as selling enough of it moves its price by 2% or less. You're told before you sign.

Once. One transaction swaps your token through Jupiter and pays the exact invoice amount.

The swap is sized so Jupiter's guaranteed minimum still covers the invoice, so a little USDC often stays in your wallet. If the price moves further, the whole transaction fails and nothing moves.

The card's price from our card partner, plus Solana's network fee. VENDO adds no fee.

No VENDO limit. Each card has its own range, shown with the amounts.

Most arrive within a minute. If an order is on hold or fails, contact our card partner, Bitrefill, with the invoice ID shown in Orders.

In Orders, in this browser. Opening one fetches it fresh; VENDO's server doesn't keep it. The receipt email from our card partner is your backup.

Once the payment confirms, Orders shows an install link and QR code. Scan it or add it in your phone's settings. Check your phone supports eSIMs first.

Yes, prepaid numbers. Enter the number in international format before you pay; the credit goes straight to it. Some operators sell a PIN instead, which arrives like a gift card code.
