Btcpayserver: Invalid bitcoin address error

[beetlevw]

I am testing and have tried different ways of store wallets.
Electrum Standard Segwit
Electrum Standard Legacy

I am able to get it to process a transaction with and andriod device and with and electrum wallet on the sender side. Also a bitcoin developed wallet.

However when attempting from an Iphone with various wallets (Bitcoin, etc.) the bitcoin address is always invalid.

Any thoughts?

Or suggestions.

Looks like a hardware wallet is best?

Thank you.

@beetlevw what do you mean by "address is always invalid"? You are trying to pay an invoice but your wallet can't pay to the address generated by BTCPay?

I believe the issue here is that @beetlevw is using SegWit (addresses starting with bc1) and not all wallets are compatible with it, if you want compatibility as a merchant, you should use p2sh (addressees starting with 3).

From our documentation

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you're a merchant, instead of SegWit (Bech32), it's recommended to use SegWit wrapped (P2SH) format. This guide explains how to create P2SH wallet in Electrum that's more suited for merchants, due to compatibility with legacy wallets customers use.
