Using Wallet Connect for Payments

Wallet Connect offers a seamless and secure way to pay with your cryptocurrency on dMarketplace, directly from your favorite Web3-compatible mobile or desktop wallet. It eliminates the need for manual copy-pasting, reducing the risk of errors and enhancing your transaction security.

What is Wallet Connect?

Wallet Connect is an open-source protocol that allows you to connect your cryptocurrency wallet to decentralized applications (dApps) and Web3 platforms like dMarketplace (via our ccpayments gateway). It works by establishing an encrypted connection between your browser or dApp and your mobile or desktop wallet, enabling you to approve transactions without exposing your private keys.

How to Use Wallet Connect on dMarketplace

Using Wallet Connect for your dMarketplace purchase through ccpayments is simple:

1. Proceed to Checkout: After selecting your desired products on dMarketplace and filling in your shipping details, choose “ccpayments” as your payment method.
2. Access the ccpayments Gateway: Click “Proceed” to be redirected to the secure ccpayments payment page.
3. Choose “Connect Wallet”: On the ccpayments page, look for the “Connect Wallet” or “Pay with Web3 Wallet” option.
4. Connect Your Wallet:
   • For Mobile Wallets: A QR code will be displayed. Open your Wallet Connect-enabled mobile wallet (e.g., MetaMask Mobile, Trust Wallet, Wallet Connect-compatible exchanges), select the “Scan QR Code” option, and scan the QR code on the ccpayments page.
   • For Desktop Browser Wallets: If you’re using a desktop browser with a Web3 extension (e.g., MetaMask browser extension), clicking “Connect Wallet” will prompt the extension to open, requesting your permission to connect.
5. Confirm Connection & Transaction:
   • Once connected, your wallet will display the transaction details (the exact crypto amount and the recipient address).
   • Carefully review these details in your wallet to ensure they match your dMarketplace order.
   • Confirm the transaction within your wallet. This is where you might approve network fees as well.
6. Payment Completion: After you confirm, your wallet will send the payment. Once confirmed on the blockchain, ccpayments will notify dMarketplace, and your order will be finalized.

Benefits of Using Wallet Connect for Payments

• Enhanced Security: Your private keys never leave your wallet. All transactions are signed within your wallet, protecting your funds from phishing attacks or malicious websites.
• User-Friendly: No more tedious copy-pasting of long wallet addresses and exact amounts, which significantly reduces the risk of human error.
• Broad Compatibility: Wallet Connect supports a vast ecosystem of mobile and desktop wallets, giving you flexibility in how you manage your crypto.
• Instant Confirmation: Transactions are initiated directly from your wallet, leading to quick processing times once confirmed on the blockchain.

Important Security Considerations

While Wallet Connect enhances security, always practice due diligence:

• Verify the URL: Always ensure you are on the legitimate dMarketplace.ai and ccpayments domain before connecting your wallet or approving any transactions.
• Review Transaction Details: Before confirming any transaction in your wallet, meticulously check the amount, recipient address, and requested action. Only approve transactions you explicitly initiated and understand.
• Disconnect When Done: After completing your purchase, it’s a good practice to disconnect your wallet from ccpayments if your wallet app provides this option.

Using Wallet Connect makes buying with crypto on dMarketplace through ccpayments a smooth, secure, and modern experience.
