The Auto-Convert Feature will allow Merchants to automatically convert Bitfinex Pay compatible tokens to any other token available.
For example, a Merchant may want to convert from BTC to USDt and activate the Auto-Convert feature. Once activated, every 5 minutes any amount above 10 USD equivalent will be automatically converted with a Market order.
Please check our Fees page to understand the fees required for Market orders.
Notes:
- No more than 1000 USD equivalent will be converted every 5 minutes.
- If token A is auto-converting to token B, token B cannot auto-convert to any other token.
Invoices
This section shows a list of all the invoices created by the Merchant, including their status and details. Both customer generated invoices through your checkout and manually generated invoices will be shown.
For each invoice, Merchants will have the following actions depending on the state of the invoice:
1. Mark as Completed
Merchants can manually mark an invoice as Completed in case the payment was not automatically matched. This may happen if the customer uses Manual Payment and doesn’t send the exact amount of funds.
For more information on how these payments may not be matched correctly, visit our guide The End User Experience.
In order to mark an invoice as Completed, relevant information regarding the transaction will be required in order to identify the correct payment.
1. Firstly, you will be required to provide the token the invoice was paid with by selecting from the dropdown menu.
2. After providing the token used to pay the invoice, you will be shown a number of suggested deposits that are based on the invoice time and amount.
3. If no deposits are suggested or you already know the Deposit/Ledger ID of the matching deposit, you can also input it manually.
Note: Only invoices with the Created status may be marked as Completed.
2. Mark as Expired
You can mark any invoice with the Created status as Expired. This will immediately expire the invoice and make it unavailable for the client. This is a useful feature especially for incorrect invoices.
Copy Link
This will allow you to either copy the link of the invoice or open it yourself.
Generate QR
This will generate a QR code that you can save as an image.
Additionally the Invoices section also includes the Bitfinex Pay Manual Invoice Generator.
