How do I share Paxful Pay PoS with my staff?


Each store has a unique link and PIN code to share with staff so they can access Paxful Pay PoS and serve customers.


The link and the PIN code should be copied by a merchant and shared with staff at the merchant’s discretion.


What is the payment process?

  1. A buyer visits a merchant’s brick-and-mortar store and wants to buy goods.
  2. A cashier logs in to Paxful Pay PoS.
  3. The cashier creates an order.
  4. The buyer pays the order using their Lightning BTC wallet.
  5. The order’s invoice is paid.
  6. Funds are credited to the merchant’s Paxful user account (in BTC or USDT by the merchant’s choice).


How do conversions to other cryptocurrencies work?


Merchants can choose to receive payments in USDT. To do this, they need to contact the Paxful support team. From there, the merchant will see a respective option within Paxful Pay PoS:
