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.

Fees
Set and billed by BitPay, and published on their pricing page (opens in new tab). PaymentHood adds nothing on top, at any volume.

Written against BitPay's own documentation on . This page deliberately states no fees, no counts and no completeness claims, because those change without notice — for anything you are about to build on, BitPay's own documentation (opens in new tab) is the authority.

Stablecoins

USDC, USDT, DAI, GUSD and other dollar-pegged tokens

Integration

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
Setup

Connecting BitPay takes three steps

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. BitPay settles by bank transfer in USD, EUR and GBP across many countries, so you can accept crypto without ever holding it. You can also elect settlement in several cryptocurrencies instead.

A wide range at checkout, including the major stablecoins. Note the distinction: what a buyer can pay with is a much longer list than what you can be settled in, and both lists change, so BitPay's own documentation is the one to trust.

Only if you choose to be. These gateways quote the invoice in your pricing currency and lock the rate for a short window, then settle to you in either fiat or crypto depending on your setting. Settling in fiat removes the exposure; settling in crypto keeps it. Decide that before you switch it on.

No. BitPay bills you directly for its own fees, and PaymentHood takes no percentage and no per-transaction cut at any volume. See PaymentHood pricing.
