Description
What a seed phrase is and why nobody should ever ask you for it. What an extended public key (xpub) lets a payment server do — derive a fresh address for every order — and what it cannot do, which is spend a single coin. Written for merchants deciding whether to take crypto without handing anyone their keys.
What happens when you pay
- At checkout, choose to pay with crypto.
- You are taken to a BTCPay invoice listing the ways this store accepts payment — Bitcoin and USDT.
- Pay from any wallet. The order here moves to Processing on its own as soon as the payment confirms — no one presses a button.
This is a demonstration store. Nothing is delivered. The payment, however, is real: it goes through a live BTCPay invoice on mainnet, straight into the merchant’s own wallet.
