About Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin is the original cryptocurrency and the coin most buyers recognise. Blocks arrive about every ten minutes, so payments take longer to confirm than on newer networks.
The BTC amount is locked when the order is created, so a price move while the customer pays does not change what they owe. Native SegWit (bc1…) addresses keep the customer’s network fee low.
How a BTC payment works
- 1You create an order in USD
From your store plugin, a payment link or one API call.
- 2The BTC amount is locked
Converted at the live price once, when the order is created. It never changes afterwards.
- 3The customer pays a fresh address
A deposit address made for this order only, with a QR code.
- 4You get a signed webhook
When the payment is credited (after 3 confirmations), your balance goes up and your system is told.

How fast is a BTC payment confirmed?
Stablora credits it after 3 confirmations on Bitcoin. The checkout page shows the progress live, and you receive a signed payment.completed webhook the moment it is credited.
What does it cost to accept BTC?
0.5% of each payment, with no monthly or setup fee. Withdrawing to your own wallet costs a 0.5% commission plus a flat network fee (0.00003 BTC on Bitcoin).
What if the customer sends too little or too much?
If less arrives, the checkout asks for the rest before the order expires (you can accept small shortfalls with a tolerance in Settings). Anything above the amount due is recorded as an overpayment that you can refund.
What if the customer uses the wrong network or coin?
The checkout shows the coin and network right next to the address. Coins sent on another network or in another coin are not credited automatically.
Can I convert BTC to a stablecoin automatically?
Not on Bitcoin yet: you receive BTC and can withdraw it to any wallet or exchange. The amount is still locked per order, so the customer pays what the order was worth when it was created.
