Bitcoin Payments on On-Chain Bitcoin
On-chain Bitcoin payments are the standard, most widely understood form of Bitcoin transactions. Every payment is broadcast to the Bitcoin network, verified by miners, and recorded permanently on the blockchain. For merchants, the key benefit is irreversibility. Once confirmed, an on-chain Bitcoin payment cannot be reversed, disputed, or charged back.
This eliminates the entire category of fraud where a customer pays, receives goods, and then disputes the charge with their bank. Dominate generates a unique Bitcoin address for each order and monitors the blockchain for incoming payments. Typical confirmation time is 10 to 60 minutes for one block confirmation. For retail orders, one confirmation is generally sufficient.
Higher-value orders may wait for additional confirmations for extra security. On-chain transactions are ideal for orders above $50 where the typical $1 to $3 network fee represents a small percentage of the total. For smaller orders, Lightning Network is more cost-effective.

On-Chain Bitcoin Bitcoin Payment Questions
How long do on-chain Bitcoin payments take?
On-chain Bitcoin transactions typically take 10 to 60 minutes for one block confirmation. Dominate monitors the blockchain and processes the order automatically.
Should I use on-chain or Lightning Network?
For orders above $50, on-chain works well because the $1-3 network fee is a small percentage. For smaller orders, Lightning Network (under 0.5% fees, sub-second confirmation) is more cost-effective.
What if a customer sends the wrong amount?
Dominate detects underpayments and overpayments. Underpayments hold the order pending until the full amount is received. Overpayments are logged and can be refunded.
