Connect Your Wallet
Why Do I Need a Wallet to Use Flash?
A Bitcoin wallet is essential to using Flash because it serves as the hub for receiving, storing, and managing your Bitcoin payments—much like a bank account does for traditional currencies. Here are the key reasons why a wallet is required:
Receive Payments When customers make payments using Bitcoin, the funds are directly sent to your wallet. Flash connects to your wallet to ensure smooth and secure transactions.
Security and Ownership With a wallet, you retain full control and ownership of your Bitcoin. Flash doesn’t hold your funds, ensuring a decentralized and secure experience.
Transaction Management Your wallet provides a record of all incoming and outgoing transactions, enabling easy tracking and reconciliation of your payments.
Instant Access to Funds Bitcoin payments are processed instantly and are accessible in your wallet without intermediaries or delays.
Which Wallets Can I Use with Flash?
