  • Website: https://monero.com

Option 2: Cake Wallet (Mobile/Desktop)

  • Another well-established wallet that supports Monero and lets you exchange fiat (USD, EUR, etc.) to XMR within the app.

Step 2: Buy Monero (XMR)

There are several ways to buy Monero. Here are some privacy-friendly methods:

Step 3: Pay with Monero

Once you have Monero in your wallet, sending a payment is simple.

  1. After booking, you will be directed to a page with:
    • A Monero address (a long string starting with 4 or 8)
    • A payment ID or integrated address (if needed)
    • The exact amount of XMR to send
  2. In your wallet:
  • Tap Send

That’s it. Monero transactions are fast, private, and final.
