Why does a checkout page expire after 20 minutes?

To protect merchants and shoppers from crypto price volatility, each checkout page link is valid for a 20-minute window. Once that time expires, the payment link closes and must be re-issued. 

 

What does this mean for you?

  • Once you open the payment link (checkout page), you’ll see a countdown or the time remaining to complete your payment.

  • After 20 minutes, even if you initiate the transaction, the system won’t lock in the rate and the link will expire.

  • If the link expires, please request a new payment link from the merchant or start the payment process again.

  • If you sent the payment after expiry, the payment may not be credited to the merchant and you will likely see the refund option.
