# Accepting Payments

Accepting crypto payments through OMY Payments is intuitive and secure. Here’s a quick breakdown of the process:

1. **Invoice Generation:** When a customer initiates a purchase or payment, OMY Payments automatically creates a unique crypto invoice with a wallet address or QR code.
2. **Payment Initiation:** The customer then sends the specified cryptocurrency amount directly to the provided wallet address by scanning the QR code or manually entering the wallet details in their crypto wallet app.
3. **Transaction Verification:** Once sent, the blockchain network validates the transaction. Depending on the cryptocurrency network traffic, verification generally occurs within a few seconds to minutes.
4. **Payment Confirmation:** As soon as the blockchain confirms the transaction, OMY Payments updates your dashboard with real-time status updates, marking the invoice as paid.

This streamlined workflow makes cryptocurrency acceptance as straightforward as traditional payment methods.
