Magic Eden app provides quick and convenient ways to buy and sell your favorite tokens. This guide goes over the Quick Buy feature.
What is Quick Buy?
Quick Buy is a mini-swap modal that pops up directly on a token’s Token Detail page. It mirrors the full Swap interface but streamlines the flow by:
Pre-selecting the token you were viewing (e.g., SOL).
Allowing you to swap from that token or to that token with just a few taps.
Offering one-tap preset amount buttons when you hold USDC on the same chain.
Think of it as “Swap-lite”—perfect for small, fast trades without leaving the page.
Opening the Quick Buy modal
Navigate to any token’s Token Detail page in the app.
Tap Buy (green) or Sell (red) at the bottom of the screen.
A Quick Buy modal slides up, showing a swap form similar to the main Swap tab.Verify the “From” and “To” fields: the token you just viewed is already filled in.
If you want to reverse the direction (e.g., sell instead of buy), tap the ↕️ arrow in the center.
Buying or selling with preset amounts
When your wallet holds USDC on the same blockchain as the token you’re viewing, Quick Buy shows four preset buttons—for example $50, $100, $250, $500.
Tap any preset button.
The amount auto-fills in the “From” field (USDC) and converts to the correct amount in the “To” field (token).
Review the Rate, Slippage, and Price Impact lines beneath the swap.
Press Swap to confirm.
If you tap Sell instead of Buy, the modal flips—your token becomes the “From” asset and USDC becomes the “To” asset, but the same preset buttons appear.
Editing Your Preset Buttons
Want different quick-buy amounts? Customize them:
In the Quick Buy modal, tap the pencil icon beside the “Auto” toggle in the top-right corner.
The Edit Quick Buys screen lists the four buttons.
Tap any box, type a new dollar value (e.g., $75), and repeat for others if you wish.
Hit Save Presets. Your new values appear the next time you open Quick Buy.
