1 Set up
- Using your Bitpay.com account, create a POS token and enter it.
Generate a standard pos facade token directly from the BitPay dashboard (make sure "Require Authentication" is disabled)
- Change the setting for "Enable".
If you allow more than one payment option the number sets the order in which the payment option will be shown on your booking page. If you allow only one payment option you can use any number for activation.
2 Collect deposit for direct bookings at time of the booking
Use this instruction to set up deposit collection from your booking page.
3 Send payment request
Use this instruction to create payment requests.
4 How it works
At the time of booking the system will communicate the deposit amount in your local currency to Bitpay.
Bitpay will convert this amount to Bitcoins and ask the guest for payment.
Once paid the Bitcoins will appear in your Bitpay account.
Bitpay offer the ability to instantly convert the Bitcoins into your local currency so you are not exposed to Bitcoin value fluctuations.
