BitPay, the leading Bitcoin payment processor has announced the introduction of ‘modal invoice’ feature on its platform.
The Atlanta, Georgia-based company reported the new design upgrade on its blog post earlier this week. The new design, aimed at improving the user experience will offer added convenience for buyers to make bitcoin payments. Generally, the e-commerce platforms redirect customers to a different payments page when the click on the ‘Pay Now’ button. But this new user-friendly feature opens an invoice modal with payment information whenever the user chooses to pay for his/her purchase with bitcoin. The drop down modal will allow the user to execute the payment without having to leave the page. Once the payment is executed, the user can just close the modal invoice and continue exploring the website. The modal invoice will include the product details and its cost, in both bitcoin and its equivalent in USD. The user can toggle between the Bitcoin address and its corresponding QR code for merchant’s wallet depending upon whether he/she is making the payment from a computer or mobile phone. The ‘Open Wallet’ button at the bottom of the modal invoice is designed to open any Bitcoin wallet installed in the user’s computer or mobile phone, allowing them to pay directly from it. Integration of the New Modal Invoice
Integrating the modal invoice is as easy as making payments on it. All a merchant has to do is copy and paste the bitpay.js JavaScript snippet into his website to add this new design feature.
BitPay has also published step by step instructions to integrate invoice modal
