Important information to note

  • In order for the recurring buy to occur, you will need to have the necessary amount in CAD available in your Shakepay CAD balance, so it is important to make sure you have enough CAD available in your Shakepay account to complete the purchase.
    ​

  • The order will happen at the time that you created it. If, for example, you have created an order to buy 1 bitcoin every day, and you created that order at 6pm, the order will happen every day at 6pm.
    ​

  • If you are traveling abroad, your Shakepay account may have limited functionality.

    If you receive a message saying “This action can’t be performed from outside of Canada”, please contact our Customer Support Team and we will be happy to assist.
