	Bit-pay is an automated payment processing system for the bitcoin currency. It enables online merchants to accept bitcoins, as a form of payment, just as easily they accept payments from credit cards, debit cards, or Paypal. <ref name="bit-pay_FAQ" /> For the similarly-named mobile wallet application, see [[BitPay~~]].~~		#REDIRECT [[BitPay]]

	~~==Merchant Tools==~~
	~~For merchants that already have a shopping cart, bit-pay's Hosted Checkout can allow shoppers to pay for their order using bitcoins.~~
	~~For merchants that only have a catalog of items, bit-pay can provide buttons and widgets for merchants to place by their items, which will add them to a shopping cart at bit-pay.~~

	~~==Transactions==~~

	When an invoice is presented for the customer to use when paying, the Bitcoin address to pay is shown. A QR Code of that address is also shown, allowing easy payment from a mobile. The invoice also include a button for using the [[URI Scheme\|URI]] payment method which will allow easy payment from a bitcoin client that supports URI links.

	The message "This invoice is valid for 15:00 minutes ONLY" is displayed and a timer counts down the clock. The reason this timer exists is to protect Bit-pay from exchange rate moves -- the price quoted is only valid for fifteen minutes.

	~~If payment arrives after the timer has expired, an additional payment amount may be required to cover the difference in the exchange rate from the original quote.~~

	~~==Fees==~~
	~~The automated solution and shopping cart is available for all merchants for a fee of 0.99% of the value of the sale.~~
	If the merchant wants to receive a currency other than bitcoins, (e.g. US Dollars) bit-pay can trade the coins for dollars, and send a direct deposit to the merchant's bank account. Merchants have no currency risk of bitcoins at all. The fee for this service is 2.99% of the value of the sale.

	~~==Settlement==~~

	Sales proceeds may be withdrawn as bitcoins, as a bank transfer, or split among more than one method. For example, 20% of proceeds might be withdrawn as BTCs and the rest converted and sent as a bank transfer.

	~~Withdrawals as direct deposit are available for the following<ref>[http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=69425.0 Bit-Pay expands Direct Deposit to CANADA and MEXICO, lower fees for USA]</ref>:~~
