How to pay with cryptocurrency at PayCek point of sale?
For more details please read our guide or blog post.
How fast are the payments?

The speed of the payments depends on the currency and the amount. For XRP, XLM, EOS, NEAR, SOL and TRX payments will always be almost instant. For BTC, ETH, DAI, USDC, USDT, BCH, DOGE, LTC and ADA payments will be slower due to the nature of the protocol. If the amount is lower than 130 EUR, payments will be relatively fast (depending on the blockchain congestion). If the amount is higher than 130 EUR, payments will be slower because we are waiting for more confirmations on the blockchain.

What is COINMAP?

COINMAP.org is an interactive digital map where you can browse crypto locations per service type and search through known data. All locations have a short description and contacts you can directly reach via Facebook or phone, and the arrival to the destination is supported by Google Maps links.

Upon registration of your PayCek profile at www.paycek.io, you can mark a checkbox to select your point of sale, so it is automatically added to Coinmap. This will allow all users of cryptocurrencies to find you more easily.

How do I issue an invoice to a customer if the payment is made via PayCek?
All your invoices are issued in EUR, and "Other" is stated as the mode of payment. If you don’t have the option "Other", you can choose "Transfer order" or "Transactional account".
How are the payments made via PayCek handled in accounting terms?

Once a month, Electrocoin d.o.o. sends automatically to your email address all required accounting statements. Just send these to your accountant, and that’s it. The invoice number is automatically shown on the accounting statement. You will receive two statements once a month for your accounting service:

  • statement on all invoices paid in cryptocurrencies
  • statement on all bank payments received from us (Electrocoin d.o.o.)

Your accounting service will then link the statement data with invoices, cryptocurrency payments and bank transactions.

Am I required to fiscalize the invoices if I am not subject to fiscalization?

Payment via our platform is not considered a cash payment, therefore we are not subject to the Fiscalization Act on Cash Payments (under Article 2(6) of Fiscalization Act on Cash Payments).

If you are not subject to fiscalization and you were not required to fiscalize your invoices so far, then you are not required to do so in relation to using our PayCek platform.

What if the customer decides to return the goods purchased via PayCek?

The merchant enables cryptocurrency payments, however, they receive the funds to their bank account in EUR, so they can make the refund according to customer’s wishes:

  1. directly from the bank account to the customer’s account
  2. cash payment at the point of sale
  3. via PayPal
Is there a risk of a certain cryptocurrency losing its value, and consequently losing a part of my profit?
No! All risks of volatility are taken by PayCek. You always receive the amount you charge. Therefore, if something costs 100 EUR, you receive 100 EUR.
Is there a time limit for executing payment?
Once a client chooses a cryptocurrency for making the payment, they have a time limit of 15 minutes to send the cryptocurrency from their wallet to the shown address.
