Pay with Strike

Strike is a free app that lets you send money with your regular cash — no crypto knowledge needed. It's the easiest way to pay.

Get the Strike app from your phone's app store (iPhone or Android). Sign up — it takes a couple minutes.

Add money to your Strike balance with your debit card or bank. Add the amount you want to send.

💡 You're adding regular dollars — not buying anything confusing

In Strike, tap Send, then choose to send to a Lightning address.

Paste in [email protected] (copy it from the top of this page), then enter the dollar amount.

💡 On your phone? No need to scan anything — just paste the address

Double-check the amount and hit send. It arrives in seconds. Done.

✅

Next time is instant. Once Strike is set up, sending a payment is just: open app, tap send, paste address, enter amount. Ten seconds.

Questions

I'm on my phone — how do I scan the code?

You don't need to scan anything. Just copy the address ([email protected]) and paste it into Strike's send screen.

Do I need to understand Bitcoin or crypto?

No. You add regular dollars to Strike and send. Strike handles everything behind the scenes.

Are there fees?

Tiny — usually just pennies. Send the exact amount you want me to receive and it arrives.

How fast does it arrive?

Seconds. It's basically instant.

Can I get it back after sending?

No — like handing over cash, payments are final. Double-check the amount before sending.

Why Strike and not another app?

Strike lets you pay with your cash balance directly, so you skip all the confusing crypto steps. It's the simplest option that works.
