Why we only accept crypto
Favade is sold for crypto only - no cards, no PayPal. Here's the reasoning: chargebacks, privacy, and how settlement actually works.

Favade is €25 EUR for lifetime access (launch deal - regular €39), paid in cryptocurrency. We don't accept cards, PayPal, or bank transfers. There are three reasons.
Checkout is now fully automated via our self-hosted BTCPay Server - no third-party payment processor, no card network, no operator manual steps. You click Pay with BTC on the pricing page, a fresh invoice opens on our infrastructure, and your license is delivered on a dedicated order page as soon as the transaction gets 1 on-chain confirmation. We never see your card details because there are no card details.
1. Chargebacks
Card payments and PayPal both let buyers reverse a transaction up to 180 days after the fact - sometimes longer. For digital goods sold to anonymous accounts, this is structurally bad: a buyer can pay, receive the license, use it for months, then reverse the charge.
Crypto transactions don't reverse. Once a payment is confirmed on-chain, it's settled. That matches the reality of what we're selling: an irrevocable license bound to a specific machine.
2. Privacy
Cards and PayPal tie purchases to identity - your name, billing address, sometimes your bank. For a tool like this, most buyers prefer not to leave that paper trail. Crypto payments don't transmit identity to us; we see a wallet address and an amount, that's all.
On your side, you do whatever level of operational separation you're comfortable with - a dedicated wallet, or just a plain transfer from your main exchange account.
3. Lower friction long-term
Crypto skips the entire merchant-account / KYC / fraud-monitoring layer that card payments require. That layer has real costs (per-transaction fees, monthly fees, dispute fees) which eventually flow into the price. Skipping it is part of how we keep the lifetime price at €25 (regular €39) instead of a subscription.
What we accept
- BTC
We accept BTC on-chain. Network fees go on you - mempool is usually quiet enough for cheap settlement.
How a purchase works
- Click Pay with BTC on the pricing page.
- BTCPay Server opens an invoice with a fresh address and the exact amount at the current EUR rate.
- You send the payment from any wallet.
- After 1 on-chain confirmation, the invoice settles automatically.
- You're redirected to the order page where your license key is shown once. Save it and bind to your hardware.
What if I've never bought crypto before?
Buy a small amount on a mainstream exchange (Coinbase, Kraken, Binance), withdraw it to a personal wallet, then send from there to the address we provide. Sending directly from an exchange to our address also works but is slightly more public.
