# How Token Redemption Works

Consumers search for goods or services through Fida and decide if they want to earn tokens on their purchase or spend tokens on the product they want to buy.&#x20;

If the customer chooses to use tokens to make a purchase, on the checkout page they choose "Pay with Fida".

Their Fida tokens will convert to USDC and Fida will then charge a VCC (Virtual Corporate Card) for their purchase.&#x20;

This means that the merchant gets paid in Fiat and in full when a customer wants to use tokens to purchase tickets.&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.fidaapp.io/how-token-redemption-works.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
