How to pay using Open CryptoPay as a customer.

As a customer, you can easily pay for your purchases directly from your pocket and your favourite wallet. To do this, simply scan the shop's QR code and the payment will be initiated. You can decide and choose which of your stablecoins or cryptocurrencies you want to use for the purchase. The merchant receives the order amount either in the desired currency, e.g. CHF or EUR, transferred to his bank account, or he can choose to receive it in cryptocurrency.

How to accept payments as a merchant.

To accept payments at your existing checkout system, it is often sufficient to place a dedicated QR code in the checkout area. At the end of the checkout process, the cashier selects Open CryptoPay, the shopper scans the QR code with their wallet app and confirms the transaction, and that's it. The payment process is very simple and takes only a few seconds.

Q&A

What is this all about?

The Open CryptoPay system is a permissionless, open payment standard that enables digital payments for everyone.

If I pay on chain, how is the merchant protected from double spends?

We at OpenCrypto Pay are aware that double-spending in on-chain transactions is a theoretical issue, but not a practical problem for physical merchants. Executing a double spend is technically complex and far less likely than traditional forms of non-payment, such as leaving a store without paying. In the rare case of an attempted double spend in a physical store, it is treated as theft and may lead to legal consequences. Given the low risk, we do not implement specific double-spend protection for physical stores, ensuring a smooth and efficient payment process for merchants and customers.
