Pay with Bitcoin
Bitcoin is accepted on everything here. It is also the coin where the fee and the wait vary most from one day to the next, so it is worth two minutes to know when it is the right choice and when it is not.
What you can buy with BTC
Everything on the site takes BTC, at the same price as any other coin. Browse all categories →
The fee depends on the network, not on your order
A Bitcoin transaction fee is set by competition for space in the next block. It has nothing to do with how much you are sending — moving $20 and moving $2,000 cost roughly the same. On a quiet day that fee is trivial. During congestion it can be several dollars, which is fine on a phone and absurd on a $14 subscription.
Your wallet estimates it for you and usually offers a choice between paying more to confirm sooner and paying less to wait. Choosing the cheap option during a busy period is the single most common reason a payment sits unconfirmed past the quote window.
How long confirmation takes
A payment is broadcast instantly and confirmed in blocks, roughly one every ten minutes on average — but that average hides a lot. Two blocks in three minutes and then nothing for forty is entirely normal.
That is why your quote is locked for a window rather than a moment, and why an underpaid or late Bitcoin payment is reconciled by hand rather than failing outright. Nothing is lost if it arrives late; it just needs a person to match it up.
What we do not support
Lightning. It would be the obvious answer to the fee problem for small orders, and larger operators offer it. We do not, and saying so is more useful to you than leaving you to discover it at checkout.
If a small purchase matters more than the coin you use, a stablecoin on a cheap chain will cost you less than on-chain Bitcoin during any busy period.
Where Bitcoin is the right choice
Larger orders. Once you are spending several hundred dollars, the network fee stops mattering as a proportion and Bitcoin’s settlement is the most battle-tested there is.
It is also the right choice if it is simply what you hold and you would rather not swap — a swap has its own fee and its own spread, and it is frequently the more expensive path.
When not to pay with BTC
For a small order during a busy period. A $14 subscription paid with a $6 network fee is a bad trade, and a stablecoin on Tron or Solana avoids it entirely.
Questions
How long does a Bitcoin payment take to confirm?
Usually one to three blocks, so roughly ten to thirty minutes, but it depends on the fee you paid and how busy the network is. Paying the low-fee option during congestion can stretch it to hours.
What if my payment confirms after the quote expires?
Nothing is lost. A late payment is matched to your order by hand and either completed at the original amount or refunded in full.
Do you accept Lightning?
No. On-chain Bitcoin only. For small orders where the fee matters, a stablecoin on a cheap network is the better route here.
Is Bitcoin the cheapest way to pay?
Rarely, for small amounts. The fee is set by network demand rather than by your order size, so it is proportionally worst on the cheapest purchases.
