Buy Nike with Crypto

Nike is a popular choice for shoes, apparel and gear, and it accepts card payments at checkout. Many customers still run into declines with foreign or prepaid cards, or simply prefer to pay with crypto. An izipay virtual card gives you a card that works for Nike from almost anywhere in the world.

With izipay you do not pay Nike in crypto directly. You fund an izipay virtual card with USDT, Bitcoin, USDC and more, then enter that card at Nike - or add it to Apple Pay or Google Pay. Use it for orders as often as you like, worldwide.

Don't want a card tied only to Nike? IZIPAY issues a no-KYC crypto card you can top up with crypto and use anywhere card works - no bank, no ID, no verification.

Does Nike accept prepaid and virtual cards?

Yes for ordinary orders. Nike accepts cards at checkout and our Mastercard works normally, including through Apple Pay in the Nike app.

Where it gets difficult is limited releases on SNKRS. Those draws run additional checks and are the single most common place a virtual card gets refused, because Nike treats unusual payment patterns as bot activity.

• Standard orders on nike.com: the card works.
• Nike Membership: free, no card needed.
• SNKRS draws: higher refusal rate on prepaid and virtual cards.
• Refunds: returned to the same card.

Why Nike declines a card

Fashion and retail checkouts run stricter fraud checks than subscription services, because chargebacks on physical goods cost them more. Four things come up.

• The billing address does not match the card country, which these sites check more carefully than most.
• No headroom for the authorisation hold. The site reserves slightly more than the order total and releases the difference after dispatch.
• 3-D Secure does not complete. On our cards the confirmation code reaches you by email.
• Several failed attempts in a row get the payment method flagged for a few hours.
• Limited release draws apply stricter checks than normal checkout, and a prepaid card is more likely to be refused there.

What it costs with our card

The card is $49.99 once, with no monthly fee and no inactivity fee. Topping up costs 3% plus the network fee of the chain you send on; BEP-20 and Polygon are the cheapest. The per-transaction limit is $10,000.

For a $180 pair, fund about $200 to cover the order, our fee and the hold.
