Status: waiting for your deposit
You send from your own wallet straight to the exchanger — nothing to connect, no account, and you stay on this page throughout. Rates are indicative until a swap is opened.
The swap is carried out by an independent exchanger and the deposit address above is theirs. unidexai.xyz never holds, receives or controls your funds, has no key to that address, and earns a referral commission. Opening a swap sends your receiving address, IP, browser and timezone to the exchanger for their compliance checks; we store none of it. Check their terms, fees and country restrictions before sending anything.

For a business accepting crypto payments, the key outcome is that you must wait for sufficient confirmati
The short answer: you reconcile the payment by recording the gross crypto amount received at the time of invoice settlement, then separately recording the exchange fee as a business expense or cost of conversion. The shortfall is not a payment error - it is a cost of converting crypto to fiat. Your
