Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when a BitPay invoice link needs to be handed off to a Bitcoin wallet that cannot process BitPay links directly.

Who it is for

  • People paying a BitPay invoice with a Bitcoin wallet that does not support BitPay payment links.
  • Developers who want to build the app locally and inspect its payment-request handoff.

Documented uses

  • Decode a BitPay invoice link into Bitcoin transaction requirements.
  • Present the resulting payment details as a QR code for a wallet to read.
  • Build and open the app locally from the project repository.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The project README documents a hosted web app and a local build route. The public repository is licensed under MIT.

  • The tool addresses BitPay payment links specifically; it is not described as a general Bitcoin payment-request converter.
  • The README states that hash verification of BitPay data was skipped because of a missing header in BitPay server responses.
  • For a local build, the documented prerequisites are Yarn and a browser for opening the generated index.html.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Build and open DeBitpay locally

Create the documented browser build and open its index page.

Before you start

  • The DeBitpay project archive from GitHub
  • Yarn for dependency installation and the build commands
  • A browser to open the generated index.html

Steps

  1. Download and unpack the project archive.

  2. Run yarn install in the unpacked project directory.

  3. Run yarn run build to create the app in the dist folder.

  4. Open dist/index.html in a browser.

Expected outcome

The locally built DeBitpay app opens from the generated dist directory.

Guide limitations

  • The README does not establish support for every browser.
  • The README notes that hash verification of BitPay data was skipped because of a missing response header.
