Accept BitPay
without building the integration
BitPay is one of the oldest crypto payment processors, accepting a wide range of cryptocurrencies and settling to the merchant in either fiat or crypto. Its distinguishing feature is compliance maturity: direct bank settlement in many countries and the reporting a finance team actually needs.

What PaymentHood handles for you
A direct BitPay integration is not just an API call. These are the parts every team ends up rebuilding — and the parts PaymentHood ships already done.
- Credentials
- API token bound to a merchant identity, held server-side in PaymentHood
- Webhook security
- Signed IPN callback, validated before an order is released
- Payment verification
- Server-side invoice status re-check against the BitPay API before fulfilment
- Idempotent charge creation, so a retried request never double-charges a customer
- Automatic failover to another configured provider when BitPay is unreachable
- One reconciliation view across BitPay and every other provider you run
- Provider credentials never reach the storefront or the customer's browser
- Adding or switching a provider later is a dashboard change, not a re-integration
Use BitPay on your platform
Install the free PaymentHood plugin for your store, then enable BitPay in your dashboard.
Connecting BitPay takes three steps
Open your BitPay account
Register directly with BitPay and complete their onboarding. Funds settle from BitPay into your own bank account — PaymentHood never holds merchant money.
Add the credentials to PaymentHood
Paste your BitPay API credentials into the PaymentHood dashboard. They are stored server-side and never exposed to your storefront.
Enable it at checkout
Install the PaymentHood plugin for your platform, paste your PaymentHood API key, and BitPay appears as a payment option. Test in sandbox, then switch to live.
