Send the exact amount of Bitcoin specified to the QR code provided. It's important to complete the transaction within 30 minutes. Please note that the confirmation of your payment may take a few minutes. 

Once the transaction is confirmed, you will receive an SMS notification indicating that you can proceed with the Bitcoin ATM cash withdrawal. Keep in mind that in rare cases, the confirmation process may take up to an hour due to network congestion.

Note: It is highly recommended to send Bitcoin from your personal wallet, such as Trust Wallet, Blue Wallet, or Exodus, rather than from an exchange like Shakepay, Coinbase, or Newton, as exchange withdrawals may be subject to delays.

5. Go to the Bitcoin ATM and Withdraw Cash
