How the Transaction Timer Works

Understand the logic behind invoice timers, confirmation windows, and exceptions for Ethereum-based tokens.

Updated over 7 months ago

When a client sends funds to the invoice address, our system detects the transaction once it reaches the mempool.

At that point:

  • The client has 15 minutes to initiate payment

  • Once detected, the timer extends to 24 hours for confirmation

⚠️ Important Exception (ETH & ERC20):
For Ethereum and ERC20 tokens, we can’t detect mempool entries. This means the 15-minute timer is final. If the transaction isn't confirmed after that, it may be rejected.
