# Crypto

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 dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
