Payment Details - BitCoin

New: You can now pay for your 123-rescue order using BitCoins. This service is provided using the BitPay Service.

How it Works: BitPay act as a payment agent, similar to Paypal or a traditional card payment gateway. When you click the 'Pay with Bitcoin' icon, you will be presented with a BitPay bitcoin invoice associated with your order. You then have 15 minutes (indicated by the countdown timer shown on the invoice) to make a payment of the number of bitcoins shown to the indicated bitcoin address.

If you have a bitcoin wallet client application which integrates with your browser, you should be able to simply click to generate a bitcoin payment from your wallet which you can then authorise. Otherwise, you will need to manually enter the payment details into your preferred bitcoin wallet software. A QR Code is provided which facilitates bitcoin payment with mobile device applications - just scan the QR code into your BitCoin payment app.

Once payment has been made you will see an order confirmation message from ourselves, and then some time between 10 and an an hour later (once the transaction has been signed by the bitcoin Block Chain) you will receieve an email from ourselves confirming that the order has been accepted. As always, a second email will be sent when the order is dispatched.
