What payment methods do you accept?

You can pay for a GOAT Funded Trader challenge with a card, a digital wallet, or crypto. At checkout you'll see four options.

Credit / Debit card

Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay, Google Pay. Card details are entered directly at checkout.

Crypto / Card / PayPal / Kora / AstroPay

A combined option covering Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, USDC, PayPal, Kora, Skrill and AstroPay. Choose this if you want PayPal, Skrill, Kora or AstroPay.

Credit / Debit card (alternative processor)

Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay. Use this if your card was declined on the first card option.

Crypto

Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, USDC. Choose this if you want to pay in crypto only.

My payment was declined

Most declines are the card issuer, not us. Before contacting support:

1. Try the alternative card processor. Different provider, different decline rules.

2. Check your bank hasn't blocked it. Many banks decline first-time payments to trading and prop-firm merchants. A quick call or in-app approval usually clears it.

3. Confirm the billing details match your card exactly, including postcode.

4. If paying with American Express, use the first card option. Amex is not supported on the alternative processor.

5. If paying in crypto, send the exact amount on the correct network. An underpayment or a wrong-network transfer will not credit automatically.

Still stuck? Contact support with your Order ID if you have one, the method you tried, and the error message you saw.

After you pay

Your account appears in your dashboard and credentials are emailed to your registered address. Check spam if the email hasn't arrived, and check the dashboard first, since that's authoritative.
