Paying with Bitcoin from Botswana
How to pay for a Living Water Labs order from Botswana with Bitcoin: 5% off, no cross-border bank fees, automatic confirmation — plus the local regulatory picture (NBFIRA (Virtual Assets Act, 2025)).
Why Bitcoin works well from Botswana
A cross-border bank transfer from Botswana carries bank fees and a pula–rand conversion, and can take days to reflect. A Bitcoin payment arrives in minutes, is matched to your order automatically, and takes 5% off the goods.
Step by step
1. Choose Bitcoin at checkout
Select Botswana as your delivery country and Bitcoin as the payment method. The 5% saving shows in the summary.
2. Open your payment page
After you place the order you get a page with the exact BTC amount, a QR code and a fresh address used only for your order. The price is held for 30 minutes.
3. Send from your wallet
Scan the QR code with any Bitcoin wallet (or tap "Open in my wallet") and send the exact amount, leaving the network fee on your side.
4. Wait for confirmation
The page shows "Payment seen" within seconds and "Confirmed" after one block, usually 10–30 minutes. You can close the page — we keep checking and email you when it confirms.
5. We dispatch
Your parcel is booked for Botswana as soon as the payment confirms.
The rules in Botswana
Botswana licenses virtual-asset service providers through NBFIRA under the Virtual Assets Act; providers on NBFIRA's licensed list include Yellow Card Botswana. Check a provider is licensed before you use it.
This is general information, not legal, tax or financial advice. Bitcoin is pseudonymous, not anonymous: transactions are public on the blockchain.
Getting Bitcoin
If you don't already hold Bitcoin, use a provider that is licensed or recognised in Botswana where a licensing regime exists, and send to the address on your payment page. Our general guides cover wallets, network fees, and what happens if you underpay or overpay.
