Preparing to accept payments
Three tabs under Settings decide what an invoice can be paid in, what currency it is priced in, and where the money goes when you take it out. All three are worth setting before you create your first invoice through the API, because two of them are frozen into every invoice at the moment it is created.
| Settings tab | Path | What it decides |
|---|---|---|
| Currencies | /settings/currencies | Which coins a customer may pay you in. |
| Payments details | /settings/payments-details | The fiat currency an invoice is denominated in, and who pays the fee. |
| Payouts wallets | /settings | The addresses your payouts are sent to. |
Currencies
The Currencies tab holds the coins you accept: Customers will be able to pay in the following currencies, and Received funds will be automatically converted and sent to your payout wallet.
Coins are toggled one by one. Search coin filters the list by ticker or network, and the Popular coins and Stablecoins switches turn a whole group on or off at once. There is no save button on this tab — a change is sent as you make it.
The Preferred currencies block below is presentation only: Selected currencies will be displayed at the top of the asset list for your clients. Its two optional selects, For invoices (optional) and For donations (optional), reorder the customer's list; they do not add or remove a coin from what you accept.
This list is the default for allowedCryptoCurrencies.
Create an invoice without allowedCryptoCurrencies and the full set of coins you accept is frozen into it at creation. Send the field and the invoice is narrowed to that subset — see Invoices. Either way the invoice keeps the pool it was created with, so widening this tab later does not widen invoices that already exist.
Payment details
The Payments details tab carries two settings that every invoice inherits.
Base fiat currency — The currency used for product pricing and fiat equivalents displays. The Currency field opens a Choose currency dialog with the currencies available to you.
Fees is a choice between two fee structures:
- Merchant — Fees will be deducted from the total payment amount. You will receive the invoice amount minus the processing fees.
- Customer — Fees will be added to the final checkout price. You will receive the exact invoice amount.
Unlike the coin list, this tab is explicit: nothing is applied until you press Save.
The base currency is frozen into each invoice.
An invoice takes the base currency from your merchant profile when it is created, together with the rest of your merchant settings. Changing it here affects only invoices created afterwards and how statistics are displayed; existing invoices, their fees and the sums they have received keep the currency they were created in. Set it before you start issuing invoices rather than after.
Payout wallets
Payouts wallets is the first tab of the section and it lives on the root path, /settings — it has no path of its own.
The Payout Wallets card lists your addresses in a table of NETWORK and ADDRESS, with Search wallet (ticker or address) above it. An address is added through Add new wallet, which asks for a Network and a Wallet address. Each row has a menu with Edit address and Delete wallet; deleting one is reversible and, as the confirmation puts it, You can re-add it anytime, but it doesn't impact your payment history.
A payout wallet has to exist before your first withdrawal.
A withdrawal request does not take an arbitrary address: it uses the main payout wallet of the network the chosen cryptocurrency belongs to, and freezes it into the request. A wallet for that network has to exist before a payout on it can go out — see Withdrawals for the request itself.
This tab is still in development, and the address you enter is not stored yet.
An address added here shows up in the table, but it does not reach TEDR Pay and it does not survive the session, so nothing on this tab decides where a payout goes today. Treat the screen as a preview of the setting rather than as the setting itself, and do not plan a payout flow around it until this note is gone.
