Step 4: Payment Method Configuration

Crypto Payment Setup

Wallet Generation: FiatFlex automatically creates secure wallets for USDC, EUROC, and SOL on the Solana blockchain.

Payment Links: Create customizable payment links for invoices and online sales.

QR Code Generation: Generate QR codes for in-person crypto payments.

Conversion Settings: Configure when and how crypto converts to euros.

Fiat Payment Setup

Tap to Pay Setup: Enable Tap to Pay on a compatible smartphone — no external terminal required.

NFC Configuration: Set up Tap to Pay for cards and mobile wallets.

Integration Options: Connect FiatFlex to your existing POS system if needed.

Receipt Settings: Configure digital receipt delivery.

Step 5: Integration and Testing

Before you start taking real payments, run a few checks so your first live transaction goes smoothly.

Send a Test Payment Link

Create a small payment link or QR code and pay it yourself (or ask a colleague) using a supported asset such as USDC, EUROC or SOL. Confirm that the payment appears in your dashboard within seconds and that the status updates correctly.

Try a Tap to Pay Transaction

If you accept fiat, run a low-value contactless Tap to Pay transaction with a real card or mobile wallet (Apple Pay, Google Pay or Samsung Pay) to confirm your phone reads cards reliably in your environment.

Verify Conversion and Withdrawal

Convert a small crypto balance to euros and request a test withdrawal to your SEPA-area bank account. This confirms your banking details are correct end to end. Remember that FiatFlex gives you manual control — you decide when to convert and when to withdraw.

Check Notifications and Receipts

Make sure payment confirmations, receipts and dashboard notifications reach you and your customers as expected.

Going Live

Once your test transactions look right, you are ready to accept payments from real customers. A few good habits for your first weeks:

• Keep your KYC/KYB details up to date so verification never blocks a payout.

• Reconcile your dashboard against your bank statements regularly.

• Use clear, descriptive references on payment links so your bookkeeping stays clean.

• Revisit your conversion timing as you learn how your cash flow works.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does FiatFlex onboarding take?

Account creation takes only a few minutes. Identity verification (KYC/KYB) is carried out by regulated third-party providers and typically completes within 24-48 hours, though more complex cases can take longer.

Do I need any special hardware to accept payments?

No. Crypto payments work through payment links and QR codes, and contactless Tap to Pay runs on a compatible smartphone — there is no external terminal to buy.

When do funds reach my bank account?

You stay in control of timing: you decide when to convert crypto to euros and when to withdraw. Withdrawals are sent to your SEPA-area bank account, so exact arrival depends on the receiving bank.
