Paying with Bitcoin

Go to Finance and under Add Funds choose Bitcoin from the list, enter the amount you want to add, and press Start payment.

A payment window will appear showing the amount in BTC, a wallet address and a QR code. Scan the QR code with your Bitcoin wallet app or click Pay with your wallet to complete the payment.

Note: Each payment generates a unique Bitcoin address — this is normal and ensures your payment is correctly attributed to your account. The BTC amount shown is calculated at the current exchange rate at the time of payment.
