30+
31+
2. Navigate to the `Buy XCH` screen from the left-hand menu:

36+
</div>
37+
38+
3. Enter the amount you want to purchase in USD. The minimum is \$25 and the maximum is \$100, then click `Next`:
39+
40+
<div style={{ textAlign: 'left', marginBottom: '1rem' }}>
41+
<img src="/img/cloud-wallet/buy-xch-02_enter_amount_light.png" alt="Enter purchase amount" width="100%" className="theme-image-light"/>
42+
<img src="/img/cloud-wallet/buy-xch-02_enter_amount_dark.png" alt="Enter purchase amount" width="100%" className="theme-image-dark"/>
43+
</div>
44+
45+
4. Select a saved bank account, or add a new one:
46+
- **Saved accounts**: If you have previously saved bank accounts, they will appear in a list for you to choose from
47+
- **Add new account**: Click the "US bank account" option to add a new bank account
48+
49+
<div style={{ textAlign: 'left', marginBottom: '1rem' }}>
50+
<img src="/img/cloud-wallet/buy-xch-03_select_bank_light.png" alt="Select or add bank account" width="100%" className="theme-image-light"/>
51+
<img src="/img/cloud-wallet/buy-xch-03_select_bank_dark.png" alt="Select or add bank account" width="100%" className="theme-image-dark"/>
52+
</div>
53+
54+
5. If you're adding a new bank account, follow the Stripe popup prompts to provide your bank account information and complete the setup:
55+
56+
<div style={{ textAlign: 'left', marginBottom: '1rem' }}>
57+
<img src="/img/cloud-wallet/buy-xch-04_stripe_add_bank_light.png" alt="Stripe popup to add bank account" width="100%" className="theme-image-light"/>
58+
<img src="/img/cloud-wallet/buy-xch-04_stripe_add_bank_dark.png" alt="Stripe popup to add bank account" width="100%" className="theme-image-dark"/>
59+
</div>
60+
61+
6. Review the transaction details, including the amount of XCH you'll receive, the bank account to be used, and any applicable fees. Click `Next` to continue:
62+
63+
<div style={{ textAlign: 'left', marginBottom: '1rem' }}>
64+
<img src="/img/cloud-wallet/buy-xch-05_review_light.png" alt="Review transaction details" width="100%" className="theme-image-light"/>
65+
<img src="/img/cloud-wallet/buy-xch-05_review_dark.png" alt="Review transaction details" width="100%" className="theme-image-dark"/>
66+
</div>
67+
68+
7. Review the confirmation screen and click `Next`. This completes the order. The order details will appear in the order list on the right side of the screen:
69+
70+
<div style={{ textAlign: 'left', marginBottom: '1rem' }}>
71+
<img src="/img/cloud-wallet/buy-xch-06_confirmation_light.png" alt="Order confirmation" width="100%" className="theme-image-light"/>
72+
<img src="/img/cloud-wallet/buy-xch-06_confirmation_dark.png" alt="Order confirmation" width="100%" className="theme-image-dark"/>
73+
</div>
74+
75+
Once your payment is processed, the XCH will be deposited into your vault. ACH transfers are processed through Stripe and typically take 3-5 business days to complete.
76+
77+
## Troubleshooting
78+
79+
If you encounter any issues while buying XCH:
80+
81+
- Ensure your vault has been fully created and an address is available
82+
- Verify your purchase amount is between \$25 and \$100
83+
- Check that your bank account information is correct in Stripe
84+
- Ensure your bank account has sufficient funds
