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.
