BitPay for WooCommerce POS
BitPay crypto acceptance at the Oliver POS for WooCommerce, with fiat settlement.
Powered through the BitPay Checkout for WooCommerce plugin — install it on WordPress, configure under WooCommerce → Settings → Payments, and Oliver picks it up at the register automatically.
How BitPay works with Oliver POS for WooCommerce
BitPay is one of the longest-running crypto-payment processors, founded in 2011. It accepts BTC, ETH, USDC and others, and settles to the merchant's bank account in fiat (USD, EUR, GBP) so the merchant doesn't hold crypto.
BitPay's fiat-settlement model
BitPay was founded in 2011 and is one of the oldest crypto-payment processors. Its differentiator is that the merchant never holds cryptocurrency: BitPay accepts the customer's crypto, instantly converts to fiat at the moment of payment, and settles to the merchant's bank in USD, EUR, or GBP. The retailer takes no crypto-price risk.
BitPay in the Oliver POS browser view
The BitPay WooCommerce plugin opens BitPay's hosted checkout. From the Oliver register, the cashier picks BitPay; Oliver opens the page in the in-POS browser view; the customer scans the QR with their crypto wallet, sends the crypto payment, and the BitPay page confirms; Oliver writes the WooCommerce order. BitPay deposits fiat into the merchant's bank on a normal settlement schedule.
Best fit for retailers who…
Pick BitPay at the Oliver POS if you want to accept crypto without ever holding crypto. It's the right pick for retailers who view crypto as one more incoming-payment rail, not a treasury strategy.
