A Faster, Simpler Way for Merchants to Accept Crypto
BlockBolt enables businesses to accept $HBAR, $USDC, and other Hedera-based tokens through multiple payment methods that work for both online and physical commerce, including:
- Payment links for quick sharing on invoices, WhatsApp, or social channels
- Wallet-based checkout for seamless online payments
- QR Scan & Pay for instant in-store transactions
Every payment is verified on-chain, creating a secure and tamper-proof record. Transactions are confirmed in seconds, supported by Hedera’s performance and cost efficiency, making it practical for high-frequency, real-world payments.
BlockBolt SoundBox: Real-Time Audio Confirmation for Stores
To solve one of the biggest pain points in in-person crypto payments—instant verification at the counter, BlockBolt is introducing BlockBolt SoundBox.
SoundBox is a compact IoT device built for retail environments such as shops, cafes, pop-ups, events, and offline-first merchants. When a customer completes payment after scanning a BlockBolt QR code, SoundBox immediately announces the received amount using audio, giving staff clear confirmation without needing to refresh a wallet or check a dashboard.
