Bitpay help. How do I add additional coins after already creating a wallet on t

[Bitman7976]

I have a hard wallet already.  I'm just using bitpay to buy things easier with bitcoin.  Unfortunately their customer service is non-existent.  Instead they list a bunch of topics that are answered, and I can not find the answer to my question.

When I first set up my bitpay wallet, it asked to choose which crypto currencies I wanted.  I chose Bitcoin and XRP since that's all I had at the time.  Now I want to add different coins and can not figure out how to do this for the life of me.  I'm basically trying to add USDC with no luck.  Actually I am having no luck even adding any other crypto to the wallet.  I just cant find the option.  Wtf?

When your were creating your wallet. Did you sign up using your email or you used the ordinary method that requires you to back up your wallet. If you used the later option then this can be a solution.

1. Open your wallet.
2. Click on the settings button on the bottom right.
3. Scroll to the part you see key (2 wallets) then click on it
4. You will see the 2 wallets you created. Bitcoin and XRP. Click on create new wallet.
5. In the next window click on Simple wallet
6. Since USDC is on Ethereum Blockchain, under select currency Select Ethereum
7. And then in the next window select create. Congratulations you have created your Ethereum wallet
8. Repeat 2 to 6 to create your USDC wallet under the created Ethereum wallet

Make sure you backup your wallet.

I am using Bitpay on my phone and in matter of fact it's quite easy to add a new coin to your account.

You can add a new coin by clicking the configuration/settings icon on the bottom right corner of the wallet then click on your account/wallet (key1 by default), then click on Create a new wallet. then select the coin you want to add.


You can also do it by clicking on the wallet icon, click on the three horizontal dots on the top right corner then Create new wallet.


edit: was typing and didn't notice Bitcoin_Arena's reply. Belated me by few seconds

Oh!  Thanks guys!  I thought when it said create a new wallet, it was going to make me start everything all over again.  That was easy.

I have one 2 more questions please.  

1) Will I be able to add USDC to the bitpay card?
2) I have a bitpay mastercard.....did I have the option to create a bitpay visa card?

1. I believe the card supports multiple cryptocurrencies, but not sure which exactly. I'll let someone else answer this.
2. AFAIK, they used to issue a visa card but it's no longer the case, all you have now is the MasterCard. If you want to get a Visa Card, I would suggest looking into this list: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5280997.100
