What you can receive

Only transparent ZEC payments are scanned. Do not use shielded transfers or assume a shielded balance will appear. Each invoice has its own transparent receiving address.

Set up your store

  1. Install Wholly Crypto, create a project and store, and keep a private wallet backup.
  2. Check scanner-compatible connections and enable the chain and intended assets in Store → Payment methods.
  3. Set confirmations and expiry. Test a small invoice and verify settlement before fulfilling orders.

Where your payments arrive

Invoices use separate receiving addresses. Keep the complete backup, address list and derivation details; an imported wallet may not discover every invoice address immediately.

Wallet setup guide

Move funds when you are ready

Manual sends and automatic sweeps consolidate spendable outputs. Many small receipts can increase transaction size and fees. Check the preview and keep the destination on the same network.

Payment troubleshooting

Check this network first

Only transparent payments are supported. Do not use a shielded payment request. Outgoing transfers use transparent t1 funds, not shielded balances.

A payment is missing or delayed

Match the network, address, asset and any required reference to the invoice. Check scanner readiness and confirmation progress. Do not ask for a second payment until you have checked the first transaction.

Receiving guide
Restore or consolidate wallets

Keep your private backup and derivation details. A different wallet app may not display every receiving address. Sending and recovery depend on the chain and wallet format; neither is guaranteed by importing recovery words alone.

Fees and verification

The default processing fee is 1% of the invoice’s fiat value, paid from separate credits. Your assigned rate applies. Network fees and server costs are separate.

Public providers can have outages or rate limits. A submitted transaction or return redirect is not proof of payment. Use the verified invoice status and signed notifications.

    An estimate, not a payment quote. Network fees, exchange fees and merchant spreads are not included.

    Where do the rates come from?

    Crypto estimates use cached public Kraken prices, with Binance where available. Some Binance prices use USDT as a USD reference. Fiat rates come from Frankfurter and are daily reference rates, not live trading quotes.

    The snapshot refreshes automatically. Check the source dates below your result. Your entered amount stays in your browser. Asset listings do not guarantee payment support.

    Create an invoice with the API

    Run these examples on your server. Replace the API host, project ID and store ID, and keep the credential private. Amounts are decimal strings.

    Enable the method in the store first. Selection narrows enabled methods; it does not add assets. If nothing matches, store defaults apply. Check the returned methods before presenting checkout.
