I’ve talked to their support team and what I came to know is that they’ve no intention to add more payment gateways. This is really bad as because Bitpay is repugnant and also not user friendly. They blocked a vast majority of countries. Hope BitWarden listen us and impermanent a different payment gateway for crypto users.
I added credits via BitPay now the first time.
The user experience wasn’t super. The payment to BitPay was okay. However once BitPay said it received the money it took like 5 long minutes until it appeared in the Bitwarden account page.
That was not so nice when paying with something “new” and for a moment it’s unclear where the money is now.
Could be that a self hosted instance would make it faster but I guess it’s understandable to focus on one field.
Cryptomus and a self hosted BTCPAY server are good options.
Sadly Bitpay wanted me to make an account and verify my ID just to send a Bitcoin payment, it defeats the point and they can shove it where the sun doesn’t shine.
My Bitwarden premium expired recently and when I tried to renew my subscription via Bitpay, they insisted I upload my GOVERNMENT ID to make a $20 payment!
I refused and have been an involuntary unpaid user since, because there seems to be no supported way to make anonymous payments.
Please offer a privacy friendly alternative, ideally Monero/XMR payments. But at least get rid of Bitpay. Thank you.
