FAQ
Our answers to the most popular queries
1. What makes i-pay.io different from other payment processors?
i-pay.io is specifically built for high-risk industries. We combine traditional payment acceptance (cards, bank transfers) with crypto settlement, so you get paid instantly without banks holding your funds. It’s a unique blend of compliance and decentralization that puts you in control.
2. How do I integrate i-pay.io with my website or app?
Integration is simple done by REST-API or in cases is already integrated with 3rd Party platforms.
We provide clear documentation and support to help you go live quickly.
3. How do you guarantee no chargebacks?
Once a payment is converted to crypto and sent to your wallet, it’s final. There’s no mechanism for chargebacks in blockchain transactions, protecting you from fraud and reversals. (Of course, you can still issue refunds manually for customer service when necessary.)
4. Do I need to complete KYC to sign up as a merchant?
No. We do not require merchant KYC or KYB to get started.
Our compliance framework allows immediate onboarding for your business.
5. Do my customers need to go through KYC?
Yes. Each of your clients completes a quick, one-time ID verification on their first transaction (through Sumsub).
After that single check, they can transact without any repeated verification.
6. Can I also process withdrawals to creditcards or bank accounts?
No, withdrawals to credit cards or bank accounts aren't possible, as i-pay.io is exclusively a deposit-only system.
7. What fees does i-pay.io charge?
You can start for free or upgrade your account tier to enjoy lower transaction fees.
The exact rates depend on your chosen plan, and we offer a 50% setup fee discount if you are on a pre-integrated platform.
8. When and how do I receive my funds?
Each transaction is settled instantly to your decentralized merchant wallet.
There are no rolling reserves held back and no chargebacks deducted.
