Crypto payment

What happens if the crypto price changes while I am paying?

Short answer

The invoice locks an exchange rate for its 90-minute lifetime, so movement during that window does not affect you — send the quoted amount and the order completes. If the invoice expires before the transaction confirms, the payment is still credited and the rate is recalculated against the amount received.

To remove the question entirely, pay with a dollar-pegged stablecoin. USDT or USDC on a cheap network means the invoice amount and the sent amount cannot diverge at all.

Renewals are quoted fresh at the time of renewal, so a term price is fixed in dollars rather than in coin. Your bill does not change because the market did.
