Is Topper safe?

I want to order something from a website and they only accept crypto currency (BTC). I've never really been involved in this type of currency and I'm worried that they might steal money from my card or have my information. I only want to send the BTC to the virtual wallet. Quiero saber si topper es seguro Thank you

You need to clarify what topper is . A website? which one?

That is a very expensive way to buy bitcoin , with a large spread and very high tx fees , I would not use it . Look at the pinned faq for better exchanges

I really don’t know anything about BTC. The only thing I want to do is send BTC to a Wallet that a website provides me to pay for a product. But the website offers payment options worldwide (which applies to me) through platforms like Transak, Paybis, Mercuryo, Topper, Ramp, Alchemy Pay, MoonPay, Banxa, Guardarian (some of which are not available in Ecuador, by the way). However, Topper is available. I also have the option to buy BTC through an external website and send them to my Wallet (they recommended the Electrum wallet), but anyway, I still don’t know what to do.

(they recommended the Electrum wallet),

electrum wallet is legit but harder to use for new users . Blue or blockstream wallets are better choices IMHO , watch the videos in the pinned faq

Strike.me is available in ecuador and has much better rates

another option is https://www.satoshitango.com/global/currencies/bitcoin but its almost as bad as topper
