Open Shakepay in Canada, CA number, KYC, USDC, and the referral bonus

Shakepay Canada. CA mobile (Fizz eSIM in /g/13), passport KYC, about 103 CAD funding buffer. Buy about 100 CAD of BTC or ETH with CAD. Both sides get a referral

What this is

Shakepay is a common Canadian crypto buy/sell and cash app. Buy BTC and ETH with CAD, send and receive, and apply for a Shakepay Card (Visa prepaid debit, including a virtual card) to spend the balance.

People who want a Canada-side crypto account plus a small referral bonus often follow this path.

  1. Open with a Canadian mobile on a referral link
  2. Passport plus face KYC, and a Canadian address (community notes usually skip proof of address)
  3. Fund about 103 CAD (about 76 USD) with USDC-ERC20, convert to CAD, then buy about 100 CAD of BTC or ETH. That buy is the hard referral task
  4. After you hit it, both sides get a bonus (often 20 CAD). Community reports often say instant. Then spend on a virtual card or withdraw as USD

You must buy about 100 CAD of BTC or ETH with CAD. Only then do both sides get the bonus. Community reports often say it posts at once. Official copy may say up to about 1 day. Amounts and rules follow the live campaign page in the app.

This guide follows that community path. Bonus size, funding floor, and review tightness move. The Shakepay app and official Help Center win.

Before you start

What to prepare

| # | Item | Notes | |---|------|------| | 1 | Canadian mobile | SMS and signup. No CA number, open an eSIM first. See Fizz Canada eSIM, open and keep | | 2 | Chinese passport plus face KYC | Photograph the passport and do liveness. Also enter a Canadian address. Community notes. Proof of address is usually not required | | 3 | About 103 CAD (about 76 USD) | Community path. On-chain USDC-ERC20 at least about 76 USD, convert to CAD, then buy ETH or BTC |

Referral link (required)

Use this site's referral link. Miss the link and you often cannot add it later, so both sides miss the bonus.

https://shakepay.me/r/R9CG55W

  • You can open the link in a browser, enter the Canadian mobile, then jump to the app
  • Invite code form. R9CG55W (the code inside the link wins)

Bonus numbers (community plus this site)

| Item | Notes | |------|------| | Hard task (required) | After KYC, buy about 100 CAD of BTC or ETH with CAD. Deposit only, or buy under 100 CAD, and both sides miss the bonus | | Both sides | After the task, inviter and invitee each get a bonus (often 20 CAD each, follow the table at signup) | | Speed | Community reports often say instant. Official copy may say up to about 1 day. Refresh the CAD balance after you hit the task | | Funding buffer here | Community leaves about 103 CAD (about 76 USD) in USDC so FX or fees do not drop the buy under 100 CAD | | Extra on this site | Finish on the link above and this site adds another 10 CAD (separate from the official 20. How to claim follows community or site notes that day) | | Withdraw | Bonus and principal together. Spend on a virtual card, or CAD to USD then withdraw to another exchange or a wallet |

Numbers move. Before you trade, read the in-app referral page and Help Center Referral rewards.

Risk and compliance

  • Shakepay is built for Canada users. Remote or non-resident paths can fail review, lose features, or freeze
  • Use a real address, mobile, IP, and ID. Do not use this for fraud
  • On-chain deposits can be lost. Match ERC-20 and the deposit address. The wrong network may be unrecoverable
  • Crypto prices move. Buying the full amount for a bonus and selling at once can cost spread
  • This is a process note. It does not promise an account, a bonus, or an investment result

Steps

1. Get a Canadian mobile (open an eSIM if you have none)

Signup and SMS need a Canadian mobile.

  • You already have a CA number. Go to the next step
  • You have no CA number. Follow the on-site Fizz guide, activate, and confirm SMS works

Open the Fizz Canada eSIM guide

Also useful. Set the device timezone to Canada. Prefer a Canadian IP if you can (home broadband first). Then download and sign up.

2. Download the Canada-store Shakepay app

  1. Use a Canada Apple ID in the App Store (Android, Google Play, search Shakepay)
  2. Install Shakepay
  3. No Canada Apple ID yet. Use a Canadian IP plus the new Canadian eSIM number and create or set the region to Canada at appleid.apple.com. Apple's page wins

3. Start signup from the referral link

Do not tap Sign up inside the app and skip the referral (easy way to miss the bonus).

Safer path

  1. Copy the link. https://shakepay.me/r/R9CG55W
  2. Open it in the phone browser
  3. Enter the Canadian mobile
  4. Jump to the Shakepay app and finish signup

If the app is already installed, you may still add a referral inside an official window. Community experience. Walking the link at signup is the more reliable path.

4. Enter real personal data and a Canadian address

Follow the app.

  • Name, email, birthday
  • Canadian home or mail address (street, city, province, postal code)
  • Community notes. Utility bills and similar proof are usually not required. Your actual review wins

Match the passport. A random address can hurt review or later card use.

5. Finish KYC (passport plus face)

  1. Pick ID type and photograph the Chinese passport bio page
  2. Finish face / liveness
  3. Wait for a pass. Deposit and trade can stay limited until then

If review fails, check light, document sharpness, glare, and whether IP hops a lot. Retry as the app says, or contact support.

6. Fund with crypto (USDC-ERC20, about 76 USD or more)

Community path for people without Interac from a Canadian bank.

  1. In Shakepay, open crypto deposit / Deposit crypto
  2. Pick USDC. Network ERC-20 (Ethereum)
  3. Copy the address. Send at least about 76 USD of USDC from an exchange or wallet you already have (community buffer about 103 CAD)
  4. After chain confirmations, Shakepay credits it

Notes

  • Network must be ERC-20. Do not pick another chain
  • A small test send first is safer
  • Gas and arrival time follow Ethereum

If you already have a Canadian bank, Interac e-Transfer into CAD is also official. Use the in-app entry.

7. After USDC lands. USD, then CAD, then buy ETH or BTC

Community order for the referral task

  1. USDC converts to USD automatically or by tap (follow the app)
  2. Convert USD to CAD
  3. Buy ETH or BTC with the CAD balance, about 100 CAD total. That is the official hard task. Under that amount, both sides miss the bonus

This is the step that pays. Buy about 100 CAD of crypto, both sides get the bonus, community reports often say instant. Keep a trade screenshot. Refresh the CAD balance after it posts.

Trades have spread and move. If you only want the bonus, confirm the buy is at least about 100 CAD and stop. No need to flip it over and over.

8. Collect both bonuses (often instant. This site adds 10 CAD)

  • Recap. KYC pass plus about 100 CAD of BTC or ETH bought with CAD. That completes the referral task
  • After that, both sides usually get 20 CAD each (common tier, follow the campaign table). Community reports often say instant. Official copy may say up to about 1 day
  • You can spend or withdraw with the principal, subject to account status and risk checks
  • Finish on this site's link and this site adds another 10 CAD (claim steps follow community or site notes that day, separate from the official 20)

If it does not post. In the app, check identity is done, the CAD buy is about 100 CAD of BTC or ETH, and the referral attached. Then contact Shakepay support with screenshots.

9. Open a virtual card, or withdraw

Common ways to use bonus and principal

Path A. Spend on a virtual card

  • Apply for Shakepay Card / Virtual card in the app
  • Bind the CAD balance to the virtual Visa and spend at merchants or subscriptions that take it
  • Card rules and BTC cash-back rates follow the in-app text

Path B. Convert to USD and withdraw to another exchange or wallet

  1. If you still hold BTC or ETH, sell back to CAD or convert to USD on the app path
  2. Withdraw crypto from Shakepay to your own exchange or wallet address
  3. Recheck network and address. A small test first

One-line checklist

  1. Prepare a CA mobile (no number, do Fizz eSIM), passport face KYC, and a CA address
  2. Download Shakepay from the Canada store. Open https://shakepay.me/r/R9CG55W in a browser to sign up
  3. Fill profile and address. Finish KYC
  4. Deposit USDC-ERC20 about 76 USD or more. USD, then CAD, then buy about 100 CAD of ETH or BTC (hard task)
  5. Both sides get the referral bonus (often 20 CAD, often instant). This site's link adds another 10 CAD
  6. Spend on a virtual card, or convert USD / crypto and withdraw

The Shakepay app, Help Center, referral campaign page, and support replies win. This is a community process note, not an account, bonus, or investment promise.

Carddoger take

The Shakepay line is CA number plus referral link plus KYC plus about 100 CAD of BTC or ETH bought with CAD. Hit that buy and both sides can get the bonus. Community reports often say instant. Then decide virtual card or withdraw.

Keep these first

  1. Enter from the link. https://shakepay.me/r/R9CG55W Missing it is hard to fix
  2. No Canadian number, start with Fizz. Community notes often skip address proof. The address still has to be real and consistent
  3. On-chain, only USDC-ERC20. Leave a buffer (about 103 CAD / 76 USD here) so the buy can reach about 100 CAD
  4. The bonus task is the 100 CAD BTC or ETH buy. A deposit without a buy does not count. Both sides often get 20 CAD (often instant). This site's extra 10 is a site figure, separate from official
  5. Remote signup and on-chain transfers have risk. Review and posting follow official channels. This page does not guarantee a pass

The Shakepay app, Help Center, and campaign page win. This is an information note, not investment or legal advice.
