Accept Dash (DASH) payments
Dash was built for everyday payments: low fees and blocks every 2.5 minutes. Here is how DASH payments work with easyway: the address the customer pays to, when the payment counts, and what it costs you.
How a Dash payment works here
Each invoice gets a fresh Dash address (X…), derived from a watch-only extended public key on the server that runs the checkout — that server can hand out addresses but cannot spend from them. Because no address is shared between invoices, the payment is matched to its order by the address alone: no memo, no tag.
On the hosted checkout the customer sees the address and the exact DASH amount, each with a copy button, and a QR code. The QR code is a dash: payment link that carries the amount as well, so a wallet that scans it fills in both and the customer doesn't have to type the amount by hand — the most common cause of a short payment. The DASH amount is fixed from the exchange rate when the customer picks Dash.
Confirmations: about 10 minutes
The checkout shows the payment as confirming (and sends an invoice.confirming webhook) as soon as the transaction is seen; it becomes paid after 4 block confirmations, about 10 minutes on average. Unconfirmed transactions are never credited.
InstantSend. Many Dash wallets show a payment as final within seconds thanks to an InstantSend lock. easyway does not use those locks to credit an invoice — it waits for the block confirmations above, the same rule as for Bitcoin and Litecoin. Tell customers the order completes a few minutes after they pay, not instantly.
Payments are read from a Dash Blockbook server, and a confirmed output is only reported once a second, independent source (Blockchair) shows the same transaction, output, address and amount. If the second source can't be reached the credit waits and is retried — it is never skipped.
What the customer needs
A Dash wallet or exchange account that can send to an X… address — any Dash wallet can, since it is the only address format Dash has. A few things worth knowing:
Very small outputs are ignored. A single output below 0.0001 DASH is not counted. Above that, several transfers to the invoice address all add up, and you can set an underpayment tolerance in Settings so a payment a hair short (for example after an exchange took its withdrawal fee out of the amount) still counts as paid.
Mining and masternode payouts. Coins sent directly from a mining pool's or masternode's reward transaction are credited like any other payment, but the withdrawal tooling cannot spend that particular output yet, so it is handled by hand. Nothing is lost; ordinary wallet and exchange payments are not affected.
A late payment is not lost. The address keeps being watched for seven days after the invoice expires, so a payment that confirms late is still picked up.
Price risk
DASH stays DASH: it is credited to your Dash balance and withdrawn as DASH to an address you have whitelisted, with no conversion. Its value moves with the market after the customer has paid. If you'd rather be paid in dollars, offer USDT or USDC as well, or only those, with allowed_assets.
Fees
| Amount | |
|---|---|
| Platform fee on a payment | 0.5% |
| Example: customer pays 1 DASH | you receive 0.995 DASH |
| Confirmations required | 4 |
| Minimum withdrawal | 0.01 DASH |
| Withdrawal network fee | 0.0002 DASH (flat) |
The customer pays the Dash network fee for their own transfer, which is usually a fraction of a cent. All other coins are on the pricing page.
Integrating Dash payments
Create a USD invoice and let the customer pick Dash among the enabled coins, or set currency: "DASH" to price in DASH and accept only DASH. Send the customer to the hosted checkout and fulfil the order on the signed invoice.paid webhook. The quickstart has runnable cURL, Node.js, PHP and Python, and the whole API is in OpenAPI format.
Common questions
Who holds the dash? easyway keeps it on your balance until you withdraw it. Live withdrawals only go to addresses you have whitelisted with two-factor authentication; see security.
How is this different from Litecoin or Dogecoin? The flow is the same — one address per invoice, a second-source check before crediting. Dash shares Litecoin's 2.5-minute blocks and Dogecoin's single legacy address format. See accepting Litecoin and accepting Dogecoin.
