Payment guide

Paying with Bitcoin

We take Bitcoin only. If you have never used it, that sounds like a hurdle — in practice it is three steps and about twenty minutes the first time, then under a minute every time after.

You are quoted in US dollars. The invoice converts to Bitcoin at a rate locked for about 15 minutes, so the dollar amount you agreed is the dollar amount you pay. You are not taking on any currency risk by paying this way.

Three steps

  1. Open a wallet

    about 10 minutes

    Pick one of the apps below and create an account. You will need a photo ID — these are regulated financial apps, so identity checks are standard and usually finish in a few minutes.

  2. Put money on it

    instant, or 1–3 days by bank

    Link a debit card for an instant purchase, or a bank account if you would rather avoid the card fee and can wait a couple of days. Buy a little more than the invoice — around 3% extra comfortably covers the network fee and any price movement while you check out.

  3. Pay the invoice

    10–30 minutes to confirm

    Open the payment link we sent you. Scan the QR code with your wallet app, or copy the address and amount across. Send the exact amount shown, then leave the page open until it confirms.

Where to get a wallet

Any of these will do the whole job — create the wallet, buy the Bitcoin, and send it. We are not affiliated with any of them.

Cash App

Fastest start

Buy and send in one app. Debit funding is instant. Usually the quickest route if you have never held Bitcoin.

Strike

Lowest fees

Built around Bitcoin payments, so sending is straightforward and cheap. Good for the annual invoice.

River

US businesses

Made for business accounts, with real phone support. Worth it if this is going through the company books.

Coinbase

Most familiar

The best-known option — but new accounts often cannot send for several days after a bank purchase. Plan ahead.

The one thing worth knowing in advance

Some exchanges will not let a brand-new account send Bitcoin out for several days after a bank purchase. If you are on a deadline, set the wallet up a few days early, or use a debit card, which usually clears the hold immediately.

Questions people actually ask

How much is it, really? Bitcoin moves around.

You are quoted in US dollars. When you open the invoice, we lock an exchange rate for about 15 minutes and show you the exact amount of Bitcoin to send. Pay within that window and the dollar price is exactly what you were quoted. If the window lapses, just reload for a fresh one.

My exchange will not let me send yet.

This catches most people. Several exchanges — Coinbase especially — hold newly purchased Bitcoin for a few days on new accounts before allowing a withdrawal. It is an anti-fraud rule, not a problem with your account. Cash App and Strike are usually faster. If you are up against a deadline, tell us and we will hold your invoice open.

What if I send slightly too little?

The invoice stays unpaid until the full amount arrives, so send exactly what it shows — including the network fee on top, not deducted from it. If you do underpay, email us; we can see the partial payment and will sort it out.

What if I send too much?

We refund the difference to whatever address you send from, or credit it against your renewal, whichever you prefer.

Why does confirmation take so long?

A Bitcoin payment is confirmed by the network rather than by us, which usually takes 10 to 30 minutes. Nothing is wrong while you wait. Your account unlocks automatically the moment it confirms — you do not need to keep the page open or send us anything.

Can I just pay by card?

Not at the moment — we take Bitcoin only. If that is genuinely a blocker for your business, get in touch and we will work something out.
