# Crypto

Accept crypto payments on your application

Juspay Hyperswitch enables crypto payments—a modern way to pay using digital currencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin. It's fast, cost-effective, and private compared to traditional payment methods. Crypto payments use blockchain technology to record transactions securely and transparently without the need for intermediaries like banks.

### How does a crypto payment work?

1. The customer selects the crypto payment option on the merchant's checkout page
2. The customer is redirected to the cryptocurrency wallet to complete the payment
3. The wallet generates a payment request and displays the payment amount and recipient's public address
4. The customer confirms the transaction in their wallet and sends the payment to the recipient's public address on the cryptocurrency network
5. Once the payment is confirmed and processed by the cryptocurrency network, the merchant can access the payment in their cryptocurrency wallet

### Configuring Crypto on Juspay Hyperswitch

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.hyperswitch.io/other-features/payment-orchestration/quickstart/payment-methods-setup/crypto.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
