Pay with Bitcoin ⚡

Bitcoin payments across South Africa — in-store and online — powered by the Lightning Network.

Quick start
🏪
Paying in-store?
Scan the QR code at the till with your wallet or exchange app. Some wallets read SA codes directly — others need the free MoneyBadger app to decode the QR first.

Why might I need the MoneyBadger app?

South Africa has several QR code providers — Zapper, Scan to Pay, Pick n Pay — each using a different format. Some Lightning wallets already read these codes natively (marked ✓ Direct scan below).

For wallets that don't, the free MoneyBadger app decodes the in-store QR code and hands the payment to your wallet. It opens straight to the camera — tap and scan.

For online payments, you never need the MoneyBadger app — select Bitcoin at checkout, choose your wallet, and complete payment directly.
