Please read the How to pay with Bitcoin Lightning ⚡️
You need both:
We recommend Strike (supports BTC and USDT balances), WalletOfSatoshi or Phoenix (self-custody), but any Lightning-enabled wallet will work.
You can fund most Lightning wallets directly with Bitcoin from an exchange or self-custody Bitcoin wallet. Please allow some time (about 30 minutes) for Blockchain processing before you try to spend your balance.
The CryptoQR scanner app can scan Pick n Pay Point of Sale QR codes and link your Lightning wallet. Download the CryptoQR scanner from your app store.
The scanner app will request a 100 sats (about 50c) test payment to ensure everything is set up correctly.
Should anything go wrong and the point of sale does not confirm payment, you will need to wait 90 seconds for the point of sale to reset. If you sent a payment from your wallet, it will be returned to you within a few minutes.
Note: Some wallets like BlueWallet may take up to 24 hours to reflect the returned amount in your wallet.
You can always reach support by using the “help” function in the app or by contacting us: info@cryptoconvert.co.za
