Accept Bitcoin at your business

A practical starting point for a café, shop or other business. Choose how payments will be received before adding your business to a map.

1. Choose who holds the funds. Compare a wallet you control with a payment provider. Check fees, supported payment networks, backup requirements and whether conversion to euros is available. Bitcoin.org explains the main options ↗.
2. Prepare a payment workflow. Decide how staff create a payment request, verify receipt and handle a refund. BTCPay Server’s documentation ↗ describes an open-source payment system; hosting and setup still need to be arranged.
3. Test before serving customers. Run a small payment through the chosen setup. Confirm the amount, network and received status in the receiving system. Document the steps for staff.
4. Add accurate public details. Use BTC Map’s Add location flow ↗. Prepare the business name, address, map position, opening hours and accepted payment methods. Claim Lightning only if it works in your setup.
