The blockchain payment system is at the center of the change that blockchain technology has brought about in how people think about money. But what is it, and how does it make platforms like BitLily, a next-generation crypto payment and commerce infrastructure, work?
A blockchain payment system is a way to send, receive, and process payments without a central authority. It uses cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins like USDT and USDC. Payments happen directly between users instead of going through banks. The blockchain keeps track of these payments for security, speed, and openness.
What is the process behind a blockchain payment system?
When you pay with blockchain, the transaction is recorded in a digital ledger that is stored on thousands of computers all over the world. Miners or validators check each transaction, which makes it almost impossible to change or fake.
For example, BitLily’s Web3 Payments API uses blockchain technology to:
- Enable instant, borderless transactions across multiple chains (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Polygon, and more).
- Provide on-chain transparency so every payment can be tracked securely.
- Support crypto-to-fiat settlement, letting merchants accept crypto while receiving fiat value instantly.
This process eliminates intermediaries, reduces fees, and creates a trustless environment for both buyers and sellers.

Blockchain Payments vs. Traditional Payments
| Feature | Blockchain Payments | Traditional Payments |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Seconds to minutes | Hours to days |
| Transparency | Public ledger | Private systems |
| Fees | Low, per transaction | High (banks, cards) |

Platforms like BitLily combine this blockchain infrastructure with crypto invoicing, merchant APIs, and multi-chain settlement to help freelancers and e-commerce merchants receive payments effortlessly.
What Stablecoins Do in Blockchain Payments
Stablecoins like USDT and USDC have made payments on the blockchain more reliable. BitLily’s Stablecoin Payment API lets users accept digital dollars that keep their value, so they don’t have to worry about crypto volatility.
This feature powers BitLily’s Crypto-to-Fiat Settlement API, which lets people use crypto to pay for things and get the same amount of fiat right away. This is great for freelancers, remote teams, and digital businesses that work around the world.
