Updated over a week ago


Accessing the Custom Orders page

To set your custom order, head over to the Shakepay app, click the "Buy & Sell button", and click on "Custom orders".


Creating a buy order

  • After tapping on "Create a buy order", select either Bitcoin or Ethereum

  • Once you select "Bitcoin" or "Ethereum", you will see the current buy price at the bottom of the screen

  • To buy the crypto at a specific price or less, you can insert the highest quote you'd like to buy for

  • The last step will be to enter the amount of CAD you want to use to purchase crypto. Your crypto will then be bought automatically at the price you've specified 

Once you create the buy order, it can be seen on the Custom Orders page. If you tap on it, the details are shown and the buy order can deleted at any time.

Make sure you have enough CAD available in your Shakepay wallet to complete the purchase.

Please note, it is not possible to place a new custom order while you are outside of Canada. However, any custom order that was placed when you were in Canada will still be triggered while you are abroad.


Creating a sell order

  • After tapping on "Create a sell order", select either Bitcoin or Ethereum

  • Once you select "Bitcoin" or "Ethereum" you will see the current sell price at the bottom of the screen

  • To sell the crypto at a specific price or more, you can insert the lowest quote you'd like to sell for

  • The last step will be to enter the amount of Bitcoin or Ethereum you will sell for Canadian dollars at the price you've now specified

Make sure you have the amount set of BTC or ETH available on your Shakepay balance.
