Accept Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in person, opt for stablecoins to avoid volatility, and maintain full custody. No hardware, no intermediaries, no permission. It is now available on iOS and Android. 👉Download here👈
Despite all the talk about crypto payments becoming mainstream, accepting them in the real world remains annoyingly difficult. Most tools still assume that a trader will happily tolerate additional hardware, a custodian holding their funds, settlement delays, or the price risk of receiving a payout in a volatile asset. In practice, they won’t. And that friction is a big part of why cryptocurrency acceptance has lagged.
Today we are changing that. Bitcoin.com Payment is a new self-custody multi-chain app that turns the phone you already have in your pocket into a crypto payment terminal. That’s how easy it is:
- Enter an amount
- Show a QR code
- receive payment
And that’s all. The funds go directly to your own wallet.

The volatility problem, solved
Bitcoin.com Checkout offers you stablecoin automatic settlement. As a merchant, that means you can accept Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency and have it settle into a stablecoin like USDT, USDC (or privacy-focused cryptocurrency). fUSD) so there is no price risk between the time of sale and the time of settlement.
That’s the difference between “I’ll think about accepting cryptocurrency” and “I accept cryptocurrency.” You quote a price, the customer pays, and seconds later a stable value arrives in your wallet. Whether you’re behind a coffee shop counter or billing a customer on the other side of the world, it just works.
“Now a café owner can take Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency, automatically settle in a stablecoin like fUSD, and never think about volatility again. No processor account, no permission, full custody. You enter an amount, show a QR code, and the stable value arrives in your own wallet seconds later; whether you’re at a market stall or billing a customer around the world. This is the first piece of a larger set of payment tools we’re building to make cryptocurrencies truly easy to spend.”
-Corbin Fraser, CEO of Bitcoin.com
