Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://docs.gobtcpay.com/guides/account-settings.md). # Account Settings Configure your account under **Settings**.
This page covers everything in that area: your business profile, notifications, KYB status, the receiving wallet where your Bitcoin settles, team members and their roles, and account security. ### Business profile Controls what customers see on hosted payment pages and receipts: * **Legal business name.** * **Display name** (customer-facing): shown on hosted payment pages and receipts. A preview panel shows how it appears to customers. * **Customer-facing description.** * **Business category** (for example, E-commerce). * **Support email.** * **Logo:** upload PNG, JPG, or SVG up to 2 MB. The logo saves immediately when you upload or remove it, separately from the other fields. Click **Save changes** to apply. Changes apply to customer-facing pages within about 60 seconds. ### Notifications Choose which events you want to be notified about, and where. Each event row has channels: **Email**, **In-app**, and **SMS**. Click **Save preferences** to apply. ### KYB status Shows your business verification status. To get verified: 1. Create your account at [merchant.gobtcpay.com](https://merchant.gobtcpay.com). 2. Email **** to request verification. 3. Wait for our confirmation and onboarding information. ### Receiving wallet and custody Your receiving wallet is where your Bitcoin settles. Linking it is part of the minimum setup before your first sale. {% hint style="info" %} Payments cannot be settled until a receiving wallet is linked. {% endhint %} #### Link your wallet The **Receiving wallet** tab shows a one-time QR code. To link your wallet: 1. Open the GoBTC Pay app on your phone and go to **Settings**, then **Merchant**, then **Link wallet**. 2. Scan the QR shown on this tab to connect. The dashboard then shows **Waiting for the app to confirm**. The code expires after about 10 minutes; if it runs out, reload the screen for a new one. Once linked, the dashboard shows the connected address and the date it was linked, and you can unlink it later. #### Where your Bitcoin is held Uncommitted balances stay at a 2-of-3 multisig address on Bitcoin Layer 1, under your cryptographic co-control. They are never held in custodial infrastructure or as a synthetic token. At settlement, the latest authorized amount moves on-chain; how it reaches you depends on your [settlement mode](/guides/settlement-modes.md). #### Change outputs Each settlement spends your selected multisig UTXOs in full. Any residual value above the authorized amount, plus the network fee, is returned as change output to the same multisig address, so it stays self-custodied and immediately available. #### Why incoming balances need confirmations An incoming multisig UTXO becomes spendable only after at least **5 confirmations** on the Bitcoin main chain. This protects against chain reorganizations before that value is used in a settlement. ### Team and roles Invite people to your merchant account and control what they can see. Open **Settings**, then the **Team members** tab. #### Invite a team member 1. Click **Invite member**. 2. Enter an email and choose a role. 3. Send the invite. The person receives an emailed link to accept or decline. The members table shows each **Member**, their **Role**, **Status**, and **Last active**. An Admin can change a member's role, remove a member, or revoke a pending invite that has not been accepted yet. #### Roles | Capability | Admin | Manager | | ---------------------------------- | ----- | ------- | | View Home, Transactions, Reports | Yes | Yes | | Export transactions to CSV | Yes | Yes | | Stores, devices, and API keys | Yes | No | | Configuration and settings | Yes | No | | Receive payments and issue refunds | Yes | No | | Manage team members | Yes | No | | KYB and compliance | Yes | No | In short, **Admin** can do everything, while **Manager** is scoped to view-only operations (transactions and reports) with no access to configuration, stores, or settings. ### Security and account protection Secure your merchant account, and understand the cryptographic exit path that keeps you in control of your Bitcoin. These settings live under **Settings**, then the **Security** tab. #### Two-factor authentication (TOTP) Require a one-time code from an authenticator app at sign-in. On the Security tab, find the **Two-factor authentication** card and click **Enable**: 1. Scan the QR or enter the secret in an authenticator app. 2. Confirm the 6-digit code. 3. Save your recovery codes somewhere safe. After that, sign-in asks for a code. If you lose your authenticator, use a\ recovery code. #### Password Use **Change password** on the Security tab to update your sign-in password (minimum 12 characters). If you are locked out, use **Forgot password** on the login screen. For privacy, we always show the same "reset link sent" confirmation, whether or not the email is registered, so accounts cannot be enumerated. #### Active sessions The **Active sessions** section lists devices currently signed in, with their location and last activity, so you can review and revoke access. #### Conditional Recovery: your exit path Conditional Recovery lets you regain sole control of your funds if GoMining ever becomes unresponsive, refuses to co-sign, or shuts down, without its cooperation. The offline Recovery Key is released to you under whichever comes first: 1. The operator confirms on-chain settlement of any pending state, or 2. A configured safety delay elapses after your recovery request. You can then spend with your User Key plus the Recovery Key directly on Bitcoin. #### Can GoMining freeze or seize my Bitcoin? No, not permanently. Funds at the 2-of-3 multisig need two keys to move, and GoMining holds only one, so it cannot spend or confiscate your BTC outright, and the time-based fallback means it cannot block recovery indefinitely. The remaining trusts are operational: the custody provider honoring its release policy, and (in operator-settled mode) GoMining's solvency during the credit window (see [Settlement Modes](/guides/settlement-modes.md)). --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.gobtcpay.com/guides/account-settings.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
