Paying with Bitcoin from Namibia
How to pay for a Living Water Labs order from Namibia with Bitcoin: 5% off, no cross-border bank fees, automatic confirmation — plus the local regulatory picture (Bank of Namibia (Virtual Assets Act, 2023)).
Why Bitcoin works well from Namibia
A cross-border bank transfer from Namibia carries bank fees, 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 Namibia 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 Namibia as soon as the payment confirms.
The rules in Namibia
The Virtual Assets Act, 2023 gives the Bank of Namibia the power to license virtual-asset service providers; crypto is not legal tender. If you use a local exchange, check it holds Bank of Namibia authorisation. Many buyers pay from a self-custody wallet funded elsewhere.
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 Namibia 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.
