Important: Non-Custodial Nature of reply.cashβ
reply.cash is a non-custodial platform:
- β We do NOT custody your assets - Your funds always remain in your wallet
- β We facilitate top-ups and payments - We connect you to third-party services
- β Merchant rails handle conversion - Local payment providers convert USDC to local currency
- β You control your keys - Only you can sign transactions
- β Every transaction requires your signature - No automatic transfers without your approval
How it works:
- You connect your wallet (Jupiter or any Solana wallet) to reply.cash
- You sign transactions to approve payments
- reply.cash facilitates the connection to local payment rails
- Merchant rails handle the actual conversion to local currency (KES, NGN, etc.)
- Your funds are never held by reply.cash - they move directly from your wallet to the recipient
Using Jupiter with Your Walletβ
Note: Jupiter is primarily a swap platform. You can use Jupiter to swap tokens, but you'll need to connect an existing Solana wallet (like Phantom, Solflare, or Backpack) to use Jupiter and reply.cash.
Step 1: Connect Your Wallet to Jupiterβ
- Visit jup.ag
- Click "Connect Wallet"
- Select your Solana wallet:
- Phantom
- Solflare
- Backpack
- MetaMask (with Solana Snap)
- Brave Wallet
- Or any Wallet Standard compatible wallet
- Approve the connection in your wallet
- Your wallet is now connected to Jupiter!
Step 2: Swap Tokens on Jupiterβ
- Once connected, you can swap tokens directly on Jupiter
- Select the token you want to swap FROM (e.g., SOL)
- Select the token you want to swap TO (e.g., USDC)
- Enter the amount
- Review the swap rate and fees
- Click "Swap"
- Approve the transaction in your wallet
- Tokens are swapped and appear in your wallet
Step 3: Use Swapped Tokens with reply.cashβ
- After swapping to USDC on Jupiter, visit app.reply.cash
- Connect the same wallet you used with Jupiter
- Your USDC balance will be available
- You can now send payments using the USDC you swapped
Transaction Signing with Jupiterβ
Important: Every movement of funds requires your signature. reply.cash cannot move your funds without your explicit approval.
How Signing Works with Jupiterβ
When using Jupiter:
- You connect your wallet (Phantom, Solflare, etc.) to Jupiter
- When you initiate a swap, your wallet opens automatically
- Review the swap details (amount, rate, fees)
- Sign the transaction in your wallet (password, biometric, etc.)
- Transaction is sent to Solana network
- Swap completes and tokens appear in your wallet
Note: The signing method depends on which wallet you connected to Jupiter. Jupiter itself doesn't control signing - that's handled by your connected wallet.

Method 1: Direct Connectionβ
- Visit app.reply.cash
