Why Us
Why Contractors Choose SimplifyLabs for Crypto Payments
Get Paid From Anywhere Without Bank Friction
International wire transfers cost $25–50 per transaction, take 3–5 business days, and sometimes arrive short of the invoiced amount after correspondent bank fees. Crypto payments via SimplifyLabs cost a fraction of a percent, arrive within minutes, and deliver exactly what the client sent. For contractors with international client rosters, the annual savings are substantial.
Invoices That Clients Actually Pay On Time
SimplifyLabs generates crypto invoices with a wallet address, QR code, and payment deadline. The client scans or copies the address and pays from their wallet in under 60 seconds. There's no bank portal to log into, no IBAN to format correctly, no correspondent codes to look up. Reducing payment friction directly improves your on-time payment rate.
Protection From Payment Reversals
Contractors working with new clients—especially international ones—face real risk from payment reversals. A client pays via card or PayPal, receives the delivered work, and disputes the payment claiming non-delivery. Crypto transactions on the blockchain are irreversible. Once a client pays your SimplifyLabs invoice in Bitcoin or USDT, that payment is yours regardless of any subsequent dispute.
Accept Clients Who Can Only Pay in Crypto
The contractor market increasingly includes clients who operate in crypto-native businesses—DeFi protocols, Web3 startups, NFT projects, crypto funds—where paying in digital assets is faster and more natural than arranging fiat transfers. SimplifyLabs positions you to work with this segment without setting up personal wallets or navigating complex exchange accounts.
Retainer Billing in Crypto
SimplifyLabs supports recurring invoice automation for contractors on monthly retainers. Set up a billing schedule, and SimplifyLabs sends your retainer invoice automatically at the configured date. Your client pays, you receive the webhook confirmation, and the funds settle without manual follow-up.
Clean Accounting Despite Crypto Complexity
The biggest accounting headache with crypto payments is tracking fiat-equivalent values at the time of receipt for tax purposes. SimplifyLabs records the fiat equivalent of every payment at the confirmation timestamp. Your transaction exports include both the crypto amount and the fiat value at time of payment—exactly what your accountant needs.
Contractor Payment Flows

Generate a crypto invoice for a completed project, send the payment link to your client, receive funds on confirmation, and settle to fiat if preferred. Full workflow under 5 minutes to set up.
2. 2. Retainer Billing
Configure monthly retainer invoices that go out automatically. Client pays at the start of each month, you receive confirmation, work begins. No manual invoice sending required.

FAQ
Crypto Payment Options for Contractors
No, and this is one of the most practical aspects of SimplifyLabs for contractors. Your client receives a payment link that opens a payment page showing the invoice amount, a wallet address, and a QR code. They pay directly from any crypto wallet app they already use—Coinbase, MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or a hardware wallet. No account creation, no sign-up friction, no onboarding.
When a client pays your invoice in Bitcoin or USDT, SimplifyLabs records the fiat-equivalent value of the payment at the exact moment of blockchain confirmation. This timestamp and fiat value are stored with the transaction and exported in your transaction reports. If you use auto-conversion to fiat, SimplifyLabs also records the conversion rate applied, giving you a clean audit trail for both the crypto receipt and the fiat settlement.
SimplifyLabs detects underpayments in real time and marks the invoice as partially paid in your dashboard. You receive a notification with the amount received vs. the invoiced amount. From there you can choose to issue a new invoice for the outstanding balance, contact the client directly, or mark the invoice as settled if the difference is negligible.
Yes, and this is the most common workflow for contractors. You create an invoice in USD, EUR, or your preferred fiat currency, and SimplifyLabs automatically calculates the crypto equivalent at current market rates when the client opens the payment link. The payment address is locked to the calculated amount with a short price window (typically 15–30 minutes).
You configure a recurring invoice schedule: billing frequency, invoice amount, accepted currencies, payment window, and what happens if the client doesn't pay by the deadline. On each billing date, SimplifyLabs generates and sends the invoice automatically. Your retainer client receives an email with the payment link, pays when it suits them within the window, and you receive a notification on confirmation.
Yes. SimplifyLabs has no maximum invoice amount. For large invoices, we recommend configuring a slightly longer price lock window and setting the confirmation threshold higher for additional security. For predictable settlement on large invoices, USDT is often the preferred choice as it avoids Bitcoin price volatility during the confirmation window.
Yes. Create two separate invoices for the same project—one for the deposit amount and one for the balance. Each invoice generates its own unique wallet address and payment link. Send the deposit invoice at project start and the balance invoice on delivery. Both are trackable in your dashboard.
Tax treatment of crypto income varies significantly by country. SimplifyLabs doesn't provide tax advice, but the platform is designed to make your tax reporting straightforward: every payment is logged with a fiat-equivalent value at the time of receipt, conversion events are separately logged if you use auto-convert, and full transaction exports are available in formats compatible with accounting software.
