High Voltage payments. Wired & settled.

None, in most cases. Our POS runs on any iPad, Android tablet, or phone you already own. For higher-volume locations we recommend a dedicated terminal, but you can take a $5,000 payment with an iPhone the same day you sign up.

Sub-second. Customer scans the QR, taps confirm in their wallet, and you see "paid" on the register — usually inside 2 seconds end-to-end. Faster than a chip-card tap.

Yes — we plug into Square, Clover, Toast, and most other major POS systems. Bitcoin shows up as a tender type alongside card and cash. Sales reports stay in one place.

If they can run a card transaction, they can run a Bitcoin one. We hand-train every team in a 30-minute remote session — most shops have us back for refresher sessions only when staff turns over.

Lightning payments need a brief network connection to confirm. We support offline-queued sales on supported terminals — the payment syncs once you're back online, just like cards in spotty rural sites.

Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, Squarespace, and any platform with a payment-gateway plugin slot. For custom builds we ship a drop-in JavaScript snippet or a clean REST API.

For Shopify and WooCommerce: about 15 minutes. Install the plugin, connect your VoltageAI account, enable Bitcoin at checkout. For custom carts, our team typically delivers the integration in 1–3 business days.

Yes — but they almost always already have one. Our checkout supports Strike, Cash App, Phoenix, and 50+ other wallets. The customer scans a QR or clicks "Pay with Bitcoin" inside their wallet app.

Your choice. Set it once in your dashboard: 100% USD (default), 100% BTC, or any split (e.g. "convert 90% to USD, keep 10% in Bitcoin"). Settings can change anytime.

Refunds are explicit — you initiate them from the dashboard. We send the equivalent USD value (at refund time) back to the customer in Bitcoin. No chargebacks; no surprises.

You set a percentage (1–5% is common). On every purchase, the equivalent in sats is sent to the customer's Lightning wallet. We handle the conversion and the delivery; you see one tidy line item on your statement.

Points expire, can only be spent in your store, and feel cheap. Cash back is generic. Bitcoin sats are a real, appreciating asset the customer owns — and they associate that appreciation with your brand.

Yes — but most customers already have Strike, Cash App, or a Phoenix wallet. New customers can claim their sats at any time; rewards never expire. Our checkout walks new users through wallet setup in under 90 seconds.

Yes. Tiers by spend, double-sats weekends, referral bonuses, category-specific rates, win-back offers — all configurable in the dashboard with no engineering work.

You control the rate. Most merchants set 1–2% — comparable to a typical card cashback program — and see materially higher repeat-visit rates within 60 days. Detailed cohort analytics are included.

From your dashboard or via the QuickBooks/Xero integration: create the invoice in USD, click "Send." Your client gets a branded invoice with a "Pay with Bitcoin" button — they can pay on-chain or via Lightning.

Yes. Custom logo, brand colors, terms language, and reply-to email — all configurable per workspace.

The invoice is in USD. The Bitcoin amount is calculated at payment time and locked for a short window — so the client pays exactly what they owe. If they delay past the window, the rate refreshes automatically.

Yes — daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or custom cadence. With auto-pay enabled, clients can authorize once and let the schedule run.

Email, SMS, Slack notification, and webhook — your choice. Fiat lands in your bank within 1 business day of payment confirmation.

Yes — or any portion of it. Set the default payout currency per employee in their profile. Employees can change their own split anytime in their portal.

Built for that. Each team member sets their own preference: 100% USD, 100% BTC, or any split. You fund payroll once in USD; the system handles the conversions automatically.

For W-2 employees, taxes are withheld in USD at the standard rate. For contractors, 1099s are generated automatically. The Bitcoin payout amount is reported at its USD value on the payout date — same treatment the IRS already specifies.

Optional. Each employee can choose a self-custody wallet (Strike, Phoenix, Cash App) or have their Bitcoin held in a VoltageAI-managed wallet they access from the employee portal — same security model as a payroll deposit account.

This is where Bitcoin payroll really shines. Pay a contractor in Manila, Lagos, or Buenos Aires the same way — no bank wires, no $25 FX fees, no 5-day delays. Funds arrive in seconds on Lightning.
