How to Purchase Tangem with Shiba Inu

Users can follow the steps below to purchase a Tangem Wallet with Shiba Inu. 

• Visit Tangem’s official website and select the wallet set type that suits your needs. At press time, the three-card set for one wallet costs $69.90, while the two-card set is valued at $54.90. 
• After choosing your preferred card set, enter a promo code if you have any, and select the number of sets you wish to acquire. 
• Proceed to the next phase by clicking the “Get Tangem” button and entering your personal details in the address block. Once you’ve done this, proceed to payment and select “crypto payment.” 
• Choose Shiba Inu from the list of available currencies. The system will automatically evaluate the equivalent SHIB you need to pay for the order based on your shipping address, tax, and wallet cost. 
• After clicking “pay,” you will be redirected to Tangem’s payment processor, NOWPayments, to complete the payment. You can pay by scanning the QR code containing a wallet address or manually copy the address and make a deposit via WalletConnect. 

Besides Shiba Inu, users looking to acquire Tangem Wallets with other cryptos can make payments using Bitcoin (BTC), USD Coin (USDC), Tether (USDT), Ether (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Solana (SOL), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Polygon (MATIC), Dogecoin (DOGE), Kaspa (KAS), and ApeCoin (APE).

Tangem Support for Shiba Inu

Meanwhile, the development comes over a year after Tangem introduced a card-shaped branded wallet for Shiba Inu. The initiative attracted the attention of Shiba Inu community members, who quickly pre-ordered 5,000 units of Tangem Wallet. Tangem commenced shipment of the first batch of the branded Shiba Inu wallets by July 2023. 

The wallet provider also offered a 10% discount to early users as compensation for the delay in shipping the products. Notably, Tangem further expanded its support for the Shiba Inu ecosystem in February by integrating with Shibarium, the cryptocurrency’s L2 blockchain.
