What is trip1?
trip1 is a hotel booking platform where you can search and book from over 3 million hotels in 190+ countries - and pay with cryptocurrency. trip1 accepts 120+ cryptocurrencies via CoinGate, a MiCA-licensed payment provider. If your crypto sits on Coinbase, you can pay straight from your account.
How to pay from Coinbase - step by step
Step 1: Choose your coin and network on trip1
At checkout, choose "Pay with crypto" and select a coin you hold on Coinbase, such as USDC, Bitcoin or Ethereum. Then pick the network. For USDC, Base usually has the lowest fees.
Step 2: Copy the address and amount
The CoinGate payment window shows a wallet address and the exact amount. Copy both, or keep the QR code open.
Step 3: Send from Coinbase
In the Coinbase app, tap Send, choose the same asset, paste the address and select the same network you picked on trip1.
Step 4: Check the amount and confirm
Enter the exact checkout amount and check that the amount the recipient receives matches it after fees. If Coinbase asks who you're paying, answer that it's a business payment for a hotel booking. Confirm the send before the payment window expires.
Important: Always match the network in Coinbase to the network on trip1. Sending on the wrong network cannot be reversed and trip1 cannot recover those funds.
Using the self-custody Coinbase Wallet app?
The steps are the same, but you can scan the QR code from the trip1 checkout instead of copying the address. Keep a little ETH on the network you use to cover the gas fee.
