Hosted Crypto Invoice

Overview

A Hosted Crypto Invoice is an invoice displayed and managed on a provider-operated web page rather than rendered entirely by the merchant. The page can show amount, currency, line-item or description data, payment options, status, expiration, and receipt information. The merchant should treat the provider’s server-side invoice record as authoritative and verify payment independently from browser redirects. When implementing Hosted Crypto Invoice alongside Hosted Checkout, the invoice should remain distinct from its payment sessions so late transfers, refunds, credits, and exchange-rate changes do not rewrite the original commercial document.

Hosted Crypto Invoices are useful for sharing payment requests through email, messaging, or customer portals without building a complete payment page. The provider can update available methods and security components centrally.

The hosted page should use a trusted domain and clearly identify the merchant or recipient. The merchant must control which order and amount were used to create the invoice .

For crypto, the page can generate asset-specific instructions after the payer selects a currency. Expiration, quote, underpayment, and confirmation status should be visible.

Risks include phishing lookalikes, stale links, duplicate invoice generation, provider outage, misleading return pages, and customer data exposed in URL parameters.

Systems should store invoice and order IDs, provider, hosted URL, creation, expiry, amount, currency, callbacks, selected payment method, transaction, and final status.

A complete record for Hosted Crypto Invoice should show where it depends on Invoice Redirect and how it differs from Hosted Checkout. That distinction lets teams reconcile Hosted Crypto Invoice without treating a related interface or event as final financial evidence.

Operational controls for Hosted Crypto Invoice should reconcile the requested balance with every accepted payment, fee, conversion, refund, write-off, and credit. When Hosted Crypto Invoice interacts with Invoice Redirect, the system should distinguish document status from payment status, preserve who changed each field and why, and define how expired instructions, partial payments, excess payments, disputed items, and transactions received after cancellation are handled.
