Why accept Bitcoin with Payora

Add Bitcoin checkout to any site and take payments on the Bitcoin network without card acquiring and without chargebacks. At Payora every invoice gets its own BIP32-derived address, so two payments never land on the same one. The server never broadcasts a transfer on its own — the operator does that.

You pay 0% to accept — only the Bitcoin network fee applies. A fee appears only when funds move out: 1.5% on payouts, transfers and withdrawals on the Free plan (less on the paid ones), and anything sent on-chain also costs that coin's network fee. The minimum withdrawal is the equivalent of $50, and there is no setup or monthly fee.

  • Unique Bitcoin address per invoice, derived from your public key
  • Hosted checkout with QR, exact-amount, live status and a wallet deeplink
  • HMAC-signed webhooks so your order only ships when payment is final
  • Idempotent REST API + a dependency-free PHP SDK
  • One integration also unlocks the other 49 coins across 22 networks

How to accept Bitcoin in 3 steps

  1. 01

    Create a merchant account

    Register at payora.money and get your API key + secret. Point Payora at your own Bitcoin public key (xPub / account) so it can derive receive addresses — the private key stays offline.

  2. 02

    Add the checkout

    Install a ready CMS module (WooCommerce, OpenCart, PrestaShop, Magento, WHMCS and 17 more) or call POST /v1/invoice and redirect the buyer to the hosted checkout.

  3. 03

    Verify the webhook

    When the Bitcoin payment is final, Payora POSTs a signed invoice.paid webhook. Verify the HMAC signature, then release the order — idempotently.

Who holds the Bitcoin I accept?

Payora does. Receive addresses are derived from a platform key, the payment is credited to your balance, and you withdraw it to your own wallet — 1.5% plus the network fee on the Free plan, a $50 minimum, up to 10 business days. Payouts are signed by a person from keys kept offline — that is why it takes days, not minutes; meanwhile the balance is yours and visible in the dashboard.

What does it cost to accept Bitcoin?

0% to accept — you only pay the Bitcoin on-chain network fee. A fee applies only when money moves out: 1.5% on payouts, transfers and withdrawals on the Free plan, plus the network fee of the coin being sent, which applies to a payout or a withdrawal (minimum withdrawal $50).

Which platforms can I add Bitcoin checkout to?

WooCommerce, OpenCart, PrestaShop, Magento 2, WHMCS and 17 more — or any stack via the REST API and PHP SDK.
