What is payinbtc.me?
payinbtc.me is a Bitcoin invoice integration platform that enables businesses to accept Bitcoin payments on their existing invoices without changing their accounting software or workflow.
Unlike standalone payment processors or all-in-one solutions that require businesses to switch systems, payinbtc.me works as an integration layer between the accounting software and Bitcoin payment providers that businesses already use or prefer.
Tagline: "Bitcoin on every invoice"
Core Value Proposition: Accept Bitcoin without changing your accounting software
Market Position & Differentiation
The Universal Bitcoin Invoice Platform
payinbtc.me is the only solution that connects ANY accounting software to ANY Bitcoin payment provider. The platform offers 154 pre-built integrations (11 accounting platforms × 14 Bitcoin payment providers).
Key Competitive Advantages
- Integration Breadth
- 154 combinations available immediately. Would take competitors approximately 3 years to build equivalent coverage. Every new accounting integration adds 14 use cases; every new payment provider adds 11 use cases (network effects).
- Zero Workflow Changes
- Businesses keep their existing accounting software, invoicing process, and workflow. No migration required. No retraining needed. Bitcoin payment option appears automatically on invoices.
- Universal Compatibility
- Works with tools businesses already know and trust. No vendor lock-in. Choose your preferred accounting software AND your preferred Bitcoin payment provider independently.
- Risk-Free Entry
- Pay-per-invoice option (1,500 sats/invoice) means zero commitment. Businesses only pay when customers actually use Bitcoin. First 3 invoices are free.
- Non-Custodial Architecture
- Bitcoin payments go directly to the business's wallet. No funds held by payinbtc.me. Businesses maintain full control of their Bitcoin.
The Problem We Solve
The Real Barrier to Bitcoin Adoption: It's not that businesses don't want Bitcoin—it's that they don't want to change their workflow. Most Bitcoin payment solutions require businesses to either switch accounting software or use a specific wallet. payinbtc.me eliminates this friction entirely.
"We'd accept Bitcoin, but we're not changing our accounting software."
— Every business owner, ever
How payinbtc.me Works
Three Simple Steps
-
Connect Your Tools (One-Time, 2 minutes)
Link your accounting software (QuickBooks, Xero, FreshBooks, etc.) and Bitcoin payment provider (Strike, BTCPay Server, Blink, etc.) using secure OAuth authentication. No API keys to manage, no technical knowledge required.
-
Add Payment Links to Invoices (Automatic or 30 seconds)
payinbtc.me adds a "Pay with Bitcoin" link to your invoices. Works automatically with supported platforms, or copy/paste a link for others. Your invoice workflow stays exactly the same.
-
Get Paid in Bitcoin (Instant)
When customers click the Bitcoin payment link, they see a payment page with the exact amount in BTC (calculated in real-time). Payment settles in seconds via Lightning Network. Bitcoin goes directly to your wallet. You get email notification when paid.
Detailed Payment Flow
- Business creates and sends invoice as usual in their accounting software
- Bitcoin payment option appears on invoice (automatically or via added link)
- Customer clicks "Pay with Bitcoin" link on invoice
- payinbtc.me fetches invoice details from accounting software (amount, currency, invoice ID)
- Real-time Bitcoin amount calculated based on current exchange rates
- Customer redirected to secure payment page with QR code and Bitcoin address
- Customer scans QR code or copies address to pay from their Bitcoin wallet
- Payment settles via Lightning Network (instant, <$0.01 fee) or on-chain Bitcoin
- Business receives email notification when payment is confirmed
- Bitcoin deposits directly to business's wallet (non-custodial)
- Business marks invoice as paid in their accounting software (manual currently, automatic reconciliation coming Q2 2026)

Concrete Savings Example
Business invoicing $100,000/year:
- Credit card fees (2.5%): $2,500/year
- Bitcoin fees (0.0%): $0.00/year
- Annual Savings: $2,500
Even with payinbtc.me's annual plan ($25/year) and BTCPay add-on, businesses save $2,450/year in payment processing fees alone.
Three Key Business Benefits
1. Save Money (Lower Fees)
Bitcoin transaction fees are ~0.1% compared to 2.9%+ for credit cards. For a business processing $100K in invoices annually, that's $2,850 in savings. International payments cost ~$0.01 instead of $25-45 wire transfer fees.
2. Save Time (Instant Settlement)
Bitcoin payments settle in seconds via Lightning Network, not 2-7 business days. No more waiting for bank transfers. No payment holds. No pending periods. Better cash flow, immediate access to funds.
3. Zero Risk (No Chargebacks)
Bitcoin transactions are final and irreversible. Eliminate 0.6-1.2% chargeback losses. No fraudulent disputes. No payment reversals. Once confirmed, the payment is yours permanently.
Additional Benefits
- Global Reach: Accept payments from any country without restrictions
- No Currency Conversion Fees: Eliminate unfavorable FX spreads and intermediary bank fees
- Financial Sovereignty: Non-custodial payments mean you control your money, not a payment processor
- Competitive Advantage: 68% of SMBs would accept Bitcoin if it were easy to set up - be ahead of the curve
- Access New Markets: Serve Bitcoin-native customers, crypto companies, and international clients
