How can I send/accept payments in IM on Pay?
Pay lets you send crypto to friends quickly, securely, and with zero fees, all on our X Layer network. Payments are even more seamless with our instant messaging (IM) feature.
For group chats, you can send crypto using gifts instead.
1. Send
Step 1: Start a chat with a friend
Open the Chat page in Pay
Tap the plus (+) icon at the top right corner
Select New chat
Choose a friend to start a chat with — you can add them by their phone number, or sync your phone contacts to see who's already on OKX
Step 2: Send crypto using Pay
Once your chat is set up, sending crypto is easy:
In the chat, tap the plus (+) icon at the bottom right
Select Pay
Set the amount and currency you’d like to pay with
Tap Pay to complete the transfer
Your friend will need to accept the payment before it expires — otherwise, it’ll be returned to you.
2. Receive
To receive crypto using Pay:
On the Pay home page, tap the Chat icon at the bottom of the screen and open the relevant chat window.
If a friend sends you crypto, you’ll see a payment icon in the chat.
Tap the icon and select Receive to accept the assets.
