Accept Customer Payments
Blink provides several merchant tools:
-
Lightning cash register: Let staff create invoices without giving them access to the wallet. Enter the sale amount in a supported currency and choose whether funds are received into the Bitcoin or Dollar Balance.
-
Printable Paycode: Display a reusable QR code that customers can scan to pay.
-
Lightning address: Receive payments through a human-readable address such as
yourbusiness@blink.sv.
Use a Dollar-Denominated Balance
Blink's Dollar Balance is denominated in U.S. dollars and is intended for users who want to make everyday payments with less exposure to bitcoin price volatility. How the balance works and the risks involved depend on whether the account uses Custodial or Non-Custodial Mode.

Fees, Custody, and Availability
Blink is a third-party service. Availability, supported features, fees, custody options, and eligibility may change and are governed by Blink's Terms and Conditions.
Transactions between two Blink users in Custodial Mode are processed without an additional Blink service fee. Transactions involving external wallets, different custody modes, Lightning routing, Spark, or the Bitcoin network may incur network or service fees. Check the Blink app and fee documentation before confirming a transaction.
Custodial and Non-Custodial modes have different security and recovery responsibilities. Review Blink's security information and make sure the selected account type is appropriate for how your business will hold and use funds.
