Practical guide
Turn ASIC quotes, hosting deposits, and electricity bills into payment requests miners can trust.
Mining hardware payments are not normal ecommerce payments. One order can cover several thousand dollars of equipment, a specific shipping batch, customs paperwork, hosting setup, and a buyer who may be paying from another country with crypto already in hand.
The common workaround is still messy: email an invoice, paste a wallet address or wire instructions, wait for a screenshot, then manually decide whether stock should be reserved or a hosted unit should be powered on.
MakePay gives the reseller or hosting operator a branded payment page for the exact quote, deposit, repair invoice, electricity top-up, or monthly hosting bill. The customer sees a real checkout instead of a bare address.
Because settlement is designed around the merchant's own wallet, the operator is not treating the payment gateway as a place where working capital sits before supplier, power, or facility bills can be paid.
Payment examples
Antminer or Whatsminer invoice
Hosting deposit and rack setup fee
Monthly hosting and electricity bill
Repair, firmware, or spare-parts payment
Why it works
Self-custody wallet settlement on high-ticket ASIC orders
Payment links for quotes, deposits, and recurring hosting invoices
Branded checkout and custom-domain payment pages for reseller trust
API and webhook status for inventory, shipping, and hosting portals
Problems solved
Bank wires delay international ASIC buyers and proof-of-payment checks
Custodial gateways can hold funds before operators reorder stock
Percentage fees become expensive on multi-thousand-dollar miner invoices
Generic checkout pages and hidden fees reduce trust on hardware orders
Guide
Why mining payments need more than a wallet address
Mining buyers are often crypto-native, but that does not make the sale casual. They still want to know the payment page is real, the invoice amount is correct, and the order reference matches the hardware or hosting contract they discussed.
The merchant needs the same clarity in reverse. A paid status should connect to the machine model, stock reservation, hosting account, repair ticket, or electricity balance without asking staff to inspect screenshots in chat.
High-value orders need proof
A clear paid status helps the team reserve stock, prepare freight, or issue customs documents without guessing.
Hosting keeps billing alive
The payment flow needs to work after the hardware sale for deposits, power, maintenance, repairs, and reconnect fees.
Brand trust matters
A branded or custom-domain checkout is easier to trust than a raw address for a high-ticket miner order.
Guide
How MakePay fits reseller and hosting operations
Start with payment links for manual quotes. Add the invoice reference, amount, and buyer note, then send the customer to a payment page that belongs to the merchant experience.
When the process matures, API-created links and webhooks can move the next action forward: reserve inventory, mark a hosting invoice paid, reconnect a unit, or update an internal dashboard.
Lower fee pressure
0% merchant fee by default is easier to model into margins than a percentage fee on large ASIC invoices.
Settlement to the mining wallet
Funds can route toward the merchant wallet strategy instead of waiting in platform custody.
Operational status
Payment status can drive the warehouse, hosting desk, support team, or finance workflow.
Guide
What to decide before the first mining payment
Write down quote expiry, stock reservation rules, refund wording, and what happens if a customer pays after a batch sells out. Mining inventory can move quickly, so the payment rules need to be plain.
For hosted mining, separate hardware, first-month hosting, security deposit, electricity, setup, and repair charges when those amounts matter. Clear line items reduce support tickets later.
Reference every payment
Use order IDs, invoice numbers, hosting contract IDs, miner IDs, or repair tickets.
Decide who releases stock
Sales, finance, fulfillment, and hosting operations should know who acts after paid status.
Keep customer wording simple
Explain the amount, supported assets, expiry, and next step before the buyer sends funds.
Setup path
Start with one clear payment moment.
Step 1
Create the mining invoice
Start with a specific order, hosting deposit, electricity bill, repair fee, or final balance. Include the model, quantity, reference, and next step.
Step 2
Send a branded payment link
Share it by email, chat, dashboard, or checkout. Use merchant branding and custom-domain payment pages where trust is important.
Step 3
Wait for paid status
Reserve hardware, ship stock, rack a machine, or reconnect a hosted unit only when the status is clear enough for staff to act.
Step 4
Reconcile to the merchant wallet
Match the settlement and payment record to the invoice, contract, miner ID, or customer account.
Questions
Plain answers before you launch.
Why not just send a wallet address?
A wallet address can work for trusted repeat buyers, but it is weak for high-value sales. A MakePay link adds branding, context, status, and a clearer record.
Is this only for ASIC sales?
No. The same flow fits hosting deposits, monthly hosting, electricity top-ups, repairs, firmware services, rack setup, relocation, and final balances.
Does MakePay custody the merchant funds?
No. MakePay is built around direct self-custody settlement, so checkout can be clean without making platform custody the destination.
