A step-by-step guide to accepting Bitcoin on any website — with a plugin, a payment link or the API — and getting paid without chargebacks or volatility.
Bitcoin is still the coin customers ask for most — and accepting it is far simpler than it was a few years ago. You do not need to run a node, manage private keys, or watch the mempool. With CryptoPayr you add a checkout, the customer pays from any wallet, and the order confirms automatically. Here is how to do it properly.
Sign up and grab your API key from Dashboard → Developers. There is no lengthy onboarding and no KYC to start taking payments.
POST /api/v1/payment/create call returns a hosted checkout_url.Whichever you choose, the buyer lands on a hosted checkout, picks Bitcoin, and pays to a one-time address. See the dedicated accept Bitcoin page for the specifics.
Worried about the BTC price moving between checkout and settlement? Turn on auto-convert and every Bitcoin payment settles to USDC the moment it confirms. You quote in dollars, you bank dollars.
When the payment confirms on-chain, CryptoPayr sends your server a signed, idempotent webhook. Verify the X-CryptoPayr-Signature header, mark the order paid, and you are done — no reconciliation spreadsheet required.
