How to easily pay a BitPay crypto invoice
The BitPay payment experience is safe, intuitive, and flexible.
Step 1: At checkout, select BitPay as your payment method.
BitPay is the safest and most secure way to pay online.
Step 2: Select Begin Payment.
Depending on the merchant you are paying or the transaction amount, you may be prompted to verify for BitPay ID. Don't have a BitPay ID? Sign up to get started. BitPay ID is a simple way to manage your payments information with BitPay and simplify logins for multiple BitPay products. All that is required is an email and password. The one-time verification requirement is for people making BitPay merchant or prepaid payments of $3,000+, initiating refund requests for amounts of $1000+, or receiving BitPay payouts.
Step 3: Select your wallet.
BitPay supports over 100 of the most popular cryptocurrency wallets, including all wallets supported by Wallet Connect 2.0.
Step 4: Select your cryptocurrency.
Once you've connected your wallet, BitPay will automatically display available assets that can be used to pay a BitPay invoice. BitPay supports payments with over 100 of the most popular cryptocurrencies. Don’t see your preferred coin or token? Either BitPay hasn't added support for that asset, or the merchant has chosen not to accept it.
Step 5: Pay the invoice
If using the BitPay Wallet to make a payment, you can choose to select “Pay in Wallet”. An invoice will be generated in your Wallet app from which you can complete the payment. Alternatively, scan the QR code with your wallet app or input the merchant’s receiving wallet info manually into your wallet to complete the transaction.You'll see the payment reflected on the invoice instantly once you validate the payment in your wallet. Remember to send your payment during the 15-minute payment window.
