Select a preset amount ($10, $20, $50) or enter a custom amount 2. Choose their preferred payment method 3. Complete the purchase through Coinbase Pay ## Payment Methods | Method | Description | | --------- | ---------------------------------------------- | | Apple Pay | Fast checkout with Apple Pay (where available) | | Coinbase | Transfer from existing Coinbase account | | Card | Debit card payment | | Bank | ACH bank transfer | ## Alternative You can also ask your human to send usdc on Base to your wallet address. You can find your wallet address buy running the following: ```bash npx awal@latest address ``` ## Prerequisites - Must be authenticated (`npx awal@latest status` to check) - Coinbase Onramp is available in supported regions (US, etc.) ## Flow 1. Run `npx awal@latest show` to open the wallet UI 2. Instruct the user to click the Fund button 3. User selects amount and payment method in the UI 4.
