Milestone 2: Backend API Integration & Testing
Cross-Border Billing is Broken
If you do business globally as a freelancer, agency, or B2B SaaS, you know the pain of international payments. SWIFT wire transfers take 3-7 days to clear and banks often take a massive cut in hidden currency conversion fees.
While accepting cryptocurrency solves the speed and fee problem, calculating exchange rates manually, tracking who paid which wallet address, and generating compliant invoices is an absolute mess without proper tooling.
"We used to send clients a PDF and a raw Bitcoin address. Clients would send the wrong amount, fees would eat the difference, and our accounting team hated it. AlbaPay Invoices automated the entire flow."

How Invoices Work
From creation to settlement in three simple steps.
Create via Dashboard or API
Enter the fiat amount (e.g., $1,500), add the client's email, and attach a description. Your branded invoice is instantly generated with a unique secure tracking link.
Client Chooses Coin & Pays
The client opens the link and selects from over 300 cryptocurrencies. We lock in the live exchange rate for 20 minutes and display a unique receiving wallet address and QR code.
Auto-Convert or Forward
Upon blockchain confirmation, the invoice is marked 'Paid'. We automatically forward the exact crypto amount to your cold wallet, or convert it to Fiat (EUR/GBP) to deposit in your bank.
Invoicing Features
Everything you need to run an international business on crypto.
Brand Customization
Add your company logo, brand colors, and custom terms of service directly onto the invoice page. The client sees your brand, not ours.
Fiat On-Ramp Integration
Does your client not have crypto yet? Our invoices integrate a fiat-onramp via MoonPay, allowing them to buy the necessary crypto with their credit card right on the invoice page.
Reusable Invoices
Need to bill multiple people for the same service? Create a reusable invoice link. Each time it's opened, it generates a unique payment tracking ID so funds don't mix.
Underpayment Handling
If a client sends $99 instead of $100 due to network fees, the invoice marks as "Partially Paid". You can choose to accept it anyway, or automatically email the client requesting the remaining $1.
Accounting Exports
Download comprehensive CSV reports of all your invoices, including the exact exchange rate at the time of payment, network fees, and TX hashes, ready for your accountant.
Email Integration
Send the invoice directly from our dashboard to the client's email inbox. They will also receive automated receipts the moment the blockchain transaction confirms.

Invoicing FAQs
Can I create an invoice without writing any code?
Yes! Our merchant dashboard features a simple Invoice Builder. You just point and click to set the price, currency, and client email. We generate the web link for you to send to them.
How long is the exchange rate guaranteed?
When the client opens the invoice link and selects the cryptocurrency they want to pay with, we lock the fiat-to-crypto exchange rate for a standard window of 20 minutes (configurable via API). This protects both you and the buyer from immediate market volatility.
What happens if my client sends crypto from a centralized exchange?
Centralized exchanges (like Binance or Coinbase) often batch transactions, which can delay the send and deduct withdrawal fees from the total amount. We recommend clients pay from personal wallets. However, if they underpay due to exchange fees, our system intercepts the partial payment and you can choose how to handle it.
