Getting Started with BitPay

BitPay’s integrations make accepting blockchain payments fast and reliable. To get started, sign up for a BitPay account.

Accepting a Blockchain Payment

With blockchain payments, there's no sensitive customer information to collect and store, and there are no cards to charge. Customers simply send cryptocurrencies (like Bitcoin, Ether, or Ripple) from their computer or mobile device directly to a payment address.

Once received, BitPay converts the cryptocurrencies to your preferred currency and adds the full amount of the payment to your next BitPay account settlement. Funds are then deposited to your bank account or cryptocurrency wallet.

You can accept blockchain payments in a variety of ways. Choose a method below to get started.
