Every checkout is assigned a temporary receiving address, so payments stay private and reconciliation is unambiguous.
Watch each payment move from created to paid, with a live status check against the provider whenever you need it.
Offer Visa, Apple Pay, PayPal and bank transfers alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum and stablecoins — you still get paid in crypto.
Every order's status, from created to settled, updates live in your dashboard.
A unique address per order maps each payment to its order with no guesswork.
Verified funds land in the self-custodial wallet you control within minutes.
