The Payfirma Bitcoin API Beta Program lets you test-drive the software and provide feedback to help make it the best way to accept bitcoin for businesses like yours. Read on for the latest information on the beta release and how you can get started.

What is the Bitcoin API?

With Payfirma’s Bitcoin API, you can build an integration to accept bitcoin that is connected directly to your Payfirma account. Embed it into your eCommerce checkout experience, and you’ll be able to see purchases and refunds made with bitcoin that are automatically exchanged into dollars (USD or CAD) at the moment of purchase and converted at a verified exchange rate. This will allow you to accept a new type of payment in the currency and banking accounts you do business in – all managed in your Payfirma PayHQ central payments management platform.

How does the Beta work?

Working with the API requires a credential from your eCommerce settings in PayHQ: your API Key, which can be found within the eCommerce settings of your PayHQ page. In order to access that setting, you’ll need developer access to PayHQ.
