# Introduction

> Accept crypto payments. Settle in CHF, EUR or USD.

Qint lets your business accept crypto — USDT, USDC, ETH, BTC and seven more assets — while you price, invoice and settle entirely in **CHF, EUR or USD**. Your customers pay from any wallet; you get fiat.

## How a payment works

1. You create a payment: a [payment link](/accept-payments/payment-links), an [invoice](/accept-payments/invoices), or a [payment intent via the API](/accept-payments/api-payments).
2. The buyer lands on Qint's hosted checkout at `checkout.qint.ch`, picks an asset and network, and gets a deposit address with the exact crypto amount — locked for 15 minutes.
3. Qint confirms the deposit and settles the payment. You're notified by [webhook](/webhooks/overview), the payment appears in your [dashboard](https://dashboard.qint.ch), and the funds become a fiat balance you [pay out](/guides/payouts) to your bank.

You never quote an exchange rate, hold a wallet, or reconcile on-chain amounts — the checkout, quoting, and settlement are Qint's job.
