Paying with Bitcoin — step by step

Never used Bitcoin before? The first time takes about 10 minutes, one time only. After that, paying takes under a minute — it's just scanning a code.

Part 1 — Get Bitcoin (one-time setup)

We recommend Cash App. It's free, and most people finish setup in a few minutes.

  1. Download Cash App on your phone and create an account.
  2. Verify your identity when it asks (a photo of your driver's license). One-time only, usually takes a few minutes.
  3. Add money: link your debit card or bank account and add cash to the app.
  4. Tap the Bitcoin tab, tap Buy, and buy a little more than your order total — about $5 extra covers the small network fee. Example: your order is $79, buy about $85 of Bitcoin.

That's it — you now own Bitcoin and can pay any store that accepts it.

Part 2 — Pay at checkout

  1. On our checkout page, choose Pay with Bitcoin.
  2. You'll see a QR code and an exact Bitcoin amount. Leave that page open.
  3. In Cash App, go to the Bitcoin tab, tap Send, and scan the QR code on the checkout page (you can also copy and paste the address).
  4. Check the amount matches the checkout page exactly, then confirm the send.
  5. Done. You can close the pages — your payment is on its way.

Already have Bitcoin in another wallet? Even faster: open your wallet, scan the QR code at checkout, send the exact amount shown, done.

Part 3 — What happens next

  • The Bitcoin network confirms your payment — usually within the hour, often much faster.
  • You'll get an email when your payment is confirmed, and that's when we start preparing your order.
  • The payment code at checkout is good for about 15 minutes. If the timer runs out, don't send to the old code — just restart checkout and you'll get a fresh one.

Quick answers

Q: I've never used Bitcoin — is this hard?
A: No. If you can use Venmo or Cash App, you can do this. Part 1 is a one-time setup; after that, paying is just scan and send.
Q: Why do I buy a little extra Bitcoin?
A: Sending Bitcoin has a small network fee (usually a dollar or two). Buying about $5 extra makes sure the full amount arrives. Leftover Bitcoin just stays in your Cash App for next time.
Q: What if I send the wrong amount?
A: Send the exact amount shown at checkout — it's printed right next to the QR code. If something goes wrong, message us in the #support channel of our Discord and we'll sort it out.
Q: Is it safe?
A: Yes. You send from your own app, on your own phone. We never see your password, your bank info, or your wallet keys. One caution: Bitcoin payments can't be reversed like a card payment, so double-check the amount and the code before you tap send.
Q: Why Bitcoin only?
A: Card processors charge businesses like ours steep fees — and many refuse us entirely. Bitcoin keeps our costs down, which is how our prices stay low. Card payments are planned for later.
Q: Do you accept other coins?
A: Bitcoin (BTC) only for now. Please don't send any other coin to the checkout code — it won't arrive.
