Accept Bitcoin Without Changing Your Accounting Software

About payinbtc.me

payinbtc.me is a Bitcoin invoice integration platform that connects accounting software to Bitcoin payment providers. The service enables businesses to accept Bitcoin payments on their existing invoices without changing their accounting workflow. Unlike standalone payment processors, payinbtc.me works as an integration layer between the tools businesses already use.

Core Value Proposition

Accept Bitcoin without changing your accounting software. Connect any of 11 accounting platforms to any of 15 Bitcoin wallets or payment service providers. 165 possible integration combinations. 5-minute setup. Zero workflow changes. No crypto knowledge required.

Market Position

payinbtc.me is the universal Bitcoin invoice platform - the only solution that works with both mainstream accounting software AND Bitcoin payment providers. Competitors force businesses to either change their accounting software or use a specific Bitcoin wallet. payinbtc.me eliminates this friction by connecting any accounting platform to any Bitcoin wallet.

Competitive Advantages

• Integration breadth: 11 accounting platforms × 15 Bitcoin PSPs = 165 combinations (would take competitors ~3 years to build)
• Zero migration: Businesses keep their existing accounting software and workflow
• Universal compatibility: Works with tools businesses already know and trust
• Risk-free pricing: Pay-per-use option means no commitment until customers actually use Bitcoin
• Network effects: Every new accounting platform adds 15 use cases; every new wallet adds 11 use cases

1. Business connects accounting software (QuickBooks, Xero, FreshBooks, etc.) to payinbtc.me via OAuth
2. Business selects Bitcoin wallet or payment provider (Strike, BTCPay, Blink, etc.)
3. Business creates and sends invoices as usual in their accounting software
4. Bitcoin payment option automatically appears on every invoice
5. Customer clicks Bitcoin payment link on invoice
6. payinbtc.me fetches invoice details (amount, currency) from accounting software
7. Real-time Bitcoin amount calculated based on current exchange rates
8. Customer redirected to secure payment page with QR code and payment address
9. Payment settles via Lightning Network (seconds) or on-chain Bitcoin
10. Business receives email notification when payment is confirmed
11. Bitcoin deposits directly to business's wallet (non-custodial)
