Send a crypto invoice and keep the full payment
You send a link. Your client pays it from whatever wallet they use. The money lands in your wallet — not in an account we control, not in a balance you have to withdraw, and not minus a percentage. What follows is how that works, what it costs, and who should not use it.
How you get paid
Four steps. You need a wallet and about a minute.
- 01
Create the invoice
Pick the amount, the currency you want to be paid in, and which networks you will accept. You can attach the client and your own reference — a project name, a job number — so the payment is identifiable later without matching amounts by eye.
- 02
Send the link
Every invoice has its own page. Paste the link into an email, a message, or your existing invoice as a “pay here” line. There is nothing for your client to install or sign up for.
- 03
Your client pays it
The page shows the exact amount and an address that belongs to this invoice alone, with a QR code. Your client pays from any wallet or exchange. They do not need an account with us.
- 04
The money arrives in your wallet
It goes straight to an address derived from your own wallet — it never passes through us, so there is no balance page, no withdrawal, no payout schedule and no hold. The invoice moves to paid when the payment is confirmed on the network.
Invoice in something that holds its value
If you invoice in a volatile asset, the amount you agreed and the amount you can spend are two different numbers by the time it settles. A stablecoin is the answer to that: it tracks the dollar, so an invoice for a fixed sum is still that sum when it lands.
USDCUSD Coin
For client work, invoice in a stablecoin unless the client specifically wants to pay in something else. It is the closest thing here to sending an ordinary invoice — the number you quoted is the number you receive.
A stablecoin is not a bank deposit. It holds its value by design, and the design is a promise from its issuer rather than a law of nature. That is a far smaller risk than quoting three months of work in an asset that can move twenty percent in a week, but it is not zero.
What it costs you
We take no percentage of your invoice. Not one percent, not three — none. The amount your client sends is the amount that reaches your wallet, because the money never touches an account of ours on the way.
What you pay instead is a flat monthly plan, and this is the part a page like this usually hides: it is free for your first 5 payments each month, and above that it is a subscription with a price on it. Flat beats percentage as soon as your invoices are large — and if you send one small invoice a month, the free tier is the whole product.
There is also a network fee, which is what the blockchain itself charges to move the money. Your client pays it, on top of your amount, so it does not come out of your fee. It varies by network — the pricing page lists which ones are cheap.
What you can show for it
Every invoice is a record with its own status, timestamps and amount, and the payment itself is a transaction on a public ledger that neither of you can edit. If a client asks you to prove they paid — or claims they did when they did not — the chain is the evidence, and it is not evidence either of you controls.
Because each invoice gets its own address, a payment identifies itself. You are never looking at a wallet full of arrivals trying to work out which one was Tuesday’s client. Attach a client and a reference when you create it and the record answers that for you.
This is a record of payments, not an accounting system. It does not produce a tax return, does not calculate what you owe, and does not know your local rules. Crypto income is taxable in most places and often on the day it arrives — take the records to whoever does your books.
How you get paid, and what to plan for
Worth reading before your first invoice — each of these shapes how you use it.
- You are paid in crypto and it stays crypto. We do not convert it to your local currency, we do not deposit it in your bank, and there is no cash-out button — turning it into money you can pay rent with is something you do yourself, at an exchange, as a separate step with its own fees and its own paperwork.
- There is no escrow and there are no milestones. We never hold the money, which is the point of the whole thing, but it also means we cannot hold it until the work is delivered. If you need a third party to sit between you and a client you do not trust, that is a different product and this is not it.
- Your client needs crypto and has to be willing to pay this way. This is excellent for clients who already hold it and useless for the ones who do not — it will not convert anybody, and sending this link to a client who has never bought crypto will cost you time and possibly the job.
- A confirmed payment cannot be reversed by anyone, including us. That protects you from a client reversing a payment months later, which is the thing that ruins a freelancer’s month. It equally means nothing here can make a client pay, chase a late invoice, or get your money back if you send it somewhere wrong.
- An invoice link is not a contract. It records that a specific amount was requested and paid; it does not define scope, deadlines, revisions or what happens when a project dies halfway. Keep writing those down somewhere else.
Questions
Do you really take nothing from the payment?
From the payment, nothing — there is no percentage and no per-transaction cut, because the money goes straight from your client to an address derived from your own wallet without passing through us. What we charge is a flat monthly plan, free for your first 5 payments a month. So the honest version is: you keep the whole invoice, and separately you may pay a fixed subscription that does not grow when your invoices do.
How do I turn it into my normal currency?
Somewhere else, and that is a real limitation rather than an oversight. You would send it from your wallet to an exchange that operates in your country and sell it there. We are the part that gets you paid without a middleman; we are not a bank and we deliberately never hold your money, which is exactly why we cannot deposit it for you.
What does my client have to do?
Open the link and send the amount shown from whatever wallet or exchange account they already use. No signup, no app, no account with us, and nothing to install. If they have never used crypto at all, this will not be the invoice that changes that — offer them another way to pay.
What if a client does not pay?
Then the invoice expires unpaid, and that is the whole of it. There is no collections process, no late fee mechanism and no way to take the money — the same architecture that stops anyone reversing a payment also means nobody can initiate one on your behalf. Chasing a client remains as manual as it has always been.
What happens to my money if you disappear?
Nothing happens to it, because we never had it. Payments go to addresses derived from a wallet you generated and whose recovery phrase we have never seen. If this company shut down tomorrow you would still control every payment ever made to you — the worst case is that you stop being able to create new invoices here.
Send yourself an invoice
Create one on a test network and pay it from your own wallet. You will see the link your client sees, the address that belongs to that invoice, and the money arriving somewhere you control — before you ask a client to use it.
