Paying with Bitcoin, in plain words.
Someone sent you a payment request powered by chainkit. Here's the whole story — thirty seconds, no jargon.
What this page is
A merchant sent you a payment request powered by chainkit. The page shows the exact Bitcoin amount (locked at the moment the invoice was issued, so price swings don’t change what you owe), a fresh address, and a QR code. Scan it with any Bitcoin wallet — or tap "Open in wallet" on your phone.
Why it’s safe
The address belongs to the merchant’s own wallet — chainkit never holds the money, so there’s no middleman who could freeze or lose it. Every invoice gets its own address, never reused, so nobody can link your payment to other transactions. Pay the exact amount shown and you’re done.
What happens after you pay
The page updates live: first "payment detected" (usually within seconds), then "confirmed" once the Bitcoin network has locked it in — typically 10–30 minutes. You can close the page and come back with the same link; nothing is lost.
Your receipt
Once the payment confirms, a "Download receipt (PDF)" button appears on the payment page. Add your email before paying (optional) and the receipt is also emailed to you automatically.
Still unsure? Ask the merchant who sent you the link — they chose chainkit, a non-custodial payment processor, which means your money goes straight to them, never through us. Merchants can learn more at chainkit.dev.
