Purchasing a product

Before buying an item on the marketplace, ensure you have the following set up:
  1. To get detailed information about the Galileo Marketplace, follow this Getting to know the Galileo Marketplace article
  2. Sign up and create an account with the Galileo Marketplace. If you haven't done this yet, visit this Creating an account on Galileo Marketplace guide to get started.
  3. Complete the Know Your Customer (KYC) process. If you haven't initiated this step, visit this Completing your KYC on Galileo Marketplace guide to get started.
  4. Ensure you have MATIC tokens in your wallet to cover the transaction fees. If you don't have any, you can buy MATIC on a centralized exchange like Coinbase.
  5. Have USDC on the Polygon network to purchase products, as the products listed in the marketplace are priced in USDC. You can buy USDC on Coinbase or use a decentralized exchange like Uniswap to acquire USDC on the Polygon network.
  6. Adding your shipping address beforehand allows for a smoother and quicker purchase process. View this Adding addresses for shipping guide for setting this up.
