Customers choose which cryptocurrency they want to use for payment from the options you've configured. They can select based on:
- Cryptocurrency they already own
- Preferred transaction fees
- Confirmation time preferences
Step 4: Complete the Payment
Customers have two convenient options:
Option A: Scan QR Code

Important Information for Customers

Irreversible Transactions
⚠️ Warning: Cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible. Customers should double-check all payment details before confirming, including:
- Payment amount
- Wallet address
- Selected cryptocurrency
Payment Verification
Customers can verify their payment status by:
- Checking the Cryptrac payment page (updates automatically)
- Viewing the transaction in their wallet
- Using a blockchain explorer with their transaction ID
Common Customer Questions
"How long will my payment take?"
Confirmation times vary by cryptocurrency and network conditions. Most payments are confirmed within minutes, though Bitcoin may take longer during high network activity.
"What if I sent the wrong amount?"
Contact the merchant directly. Cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed by Cryptrac, but the merchant may be able to issue a refund or credit.

Once a cryptocurrency transaction is broadcast to the blockchain, it cannot be canceled. Contact the merchant if you need to arrange a refund.
