1. Download the App: Download the Blink wallet from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).
2. Create an Account: Open the app and choose to "create a new account". You will be prompted to enter a valid email address and phone number for security. This setup provides enhanced features and security, like two-factor authentication (2FA) and account backup.
3. Complete the Setup: Follow the on-screen instructions to verify your email and phone number. You will receive and need to enter a verification code into the app.
4. Explore Features: Once set up, you can access the main wallet interface. The Blink wallet has a "Stablesats" feature that lets you hold your funds in a USD-equivalent balance to help with Bitcoin's price volatility.
Blink provides several tools to make it easy for merchants to accept Bitcoin payments. The two most common methods are using a Lightning Address or a Point-of-Sale (POS) system.
This is a simple, human-readable identifier that looks like an email address (e.g., yourname@blink.sv).
1. Find Your Address: Your Lightning Address is typically your username followed by @blink.sv. You can find it in the app's settings or your profile section.
2. Display Your Address: Display this address prominently on your website, social media, or at your point of sale.
3. Customer Pays: Customers can send payments directly to this address. The payment is instant over the Lightning Network, with very low fees.
4. Confirm Payment: You will receive a notification in your Blink app, and the transaction will appear in your wallet's history.
This feature allows you to generate a dynamic invoice and QR code for each sale.
1. Open the Register: Use the Lightning Cash Register feature in the Blink app.
2. Enter the Amount: Enter the amount of the sale in your local currency (e.g., USD, EUR). The app will automatically convert it to Bitcoin.
3. Generate QR Code: The app will display a unique QR code for the specific payment.
4. Customer Scans and Pays: Have your customer scan the QR code with their Bitcoin wallet to complete the instant payment over the Lightning Network.
5. Confirm the Transaction: The payment will appear in your Blink wallet, confirming that you have received the funds.
