How do I receive Bitcoin through Spark?

You can receive Bitcoin through the Spark network directly into your BTC Pay wallet.

Spark is designed for instant, zero-fee Bitcoin transfers and is useful for fast payments between supported wallets.

How do I open the Spark receive screen?

You can open it in either of these ways:

• Open BTC Pay and tap Receive, then select Spark

• Tap Receive from the home page. This opens the Lightning receive screen first. Tap the network option at the bottom, then select BTC on Spark

How do I receive a Spark payment?

1. Open the Spark receive screen.

2. Bitnomi will show your Spark address and QR code.

3. Tap Copy to copy the address, or tap Share to send it through another app.

4. Ask the sender to use a Spark-supported wallet.

5. Wait for the payment to be completed.

Once the payment is received, the Bitcoin will be added to your BTC Pay balance.

How do I copy or share my Spark address?

To copy the address:

1. Tap Copy.

2. The Spark address will be copied to your clipboard.

3. Bitnomi will show a confirmation message.

To share it:

1. Tap Share.

2. Choose an app or sharing method from your device.

3. Send the Spark address to the payer.

How long does a Spark payment take?

Spark payments are usually completed instantly.

Once the payment is received:

• Your BTC Pay balance will update

• The transaction will appear in your transaction history

• You will receive a notification

Are there any fees?

The Spark network currently does not charge a network fee for these transfers.

This may change in the future. Always review the latest transaction details and any applicable fees in the sender’s wallet before confirming the payment.

What happens if the sender uses the wrong network?

The sender must use the Spark network.

A Spark address cannot be used for Lightning or Bitcoin on-chain payments. Using the wrong network may cause the payment to fail or result in permanent loss of funds.

Always confirm that the sender’s wallet supports Spark before sharing the address.

What happens if the Spark address is wrong?

• Invalid address: The sender’s wallet should prevent the payment.

• Wrong but valid address: The Bitcoin may be sent to another wallet and may not be recoverable.

• Incorrect copied details: The payment may fail or go to the wrong destination.

After copying or scanning the address, check the first and last few characters before the payment is sent.
