# How to Buy

1. **Browse the Marketplace**
   * Start by exploring the **Shophekart Marketplace**, where you can discover a wide range of both digital and physical goods. The platform allows you to filter products by category, price, and even by NFT-based attributes for unique or limited-edition items.
2. **Select the Item**
   * Once you find the item you're interested in, click on it to view detailed information. If it’s a physical product, the listing will include a digital **NFT certificate of authenticity**.
3. **Add to Cart and Proceed to Checkout**
   * After selecting your product, add it to your cart. From there, you can proceed to checkout. Here, you’ll be prompted to choose your preferred payment method.
4. **Select Shophekart MasterCard as Payment**
   * At the payment gateway, choose **Shophekart MasterCard** as your payment method. You can use either your physical or virtual card for this process. If you're using multiple cryptocurrencies (e.g.,CSHOP, USDT, or USDC), make sure your card is topped up with the desired crypto balance.
5. **Complete the Transaction**
   * After selecting your payment option and confirming the exchange rate, complete the transaction. Your cryptocurrency balance will be deducted, and the payment will be processed securely via **smart contracts** on the blockchain.
6. **Escrow System and Delivery**
   * For physical goods, the payment will be held in an **escrow system** until the seller fulfills their obligations. Once the item is shipped and you receive it, you can verify its authenticity using the **NFT certificate**.
7. **Payment Release and NFT Transfer**
   * Upon confirmation of the item’s receipt and authenticity, the payment is released to the seller, and the **NFT certificate** of the item is transferred to your wallet, marking the completion of the transaction.
8. **Track Your Spending**
   * You can monitor your spending history through the **Shophekart dashboard**, where details of your purchases, card balance, and locked exchange rates are displayed in real-time.
