# Payment Methods

Senders may add one or more Payment Methods to their account. These methods can then be linked to a workflow and the method details will be flowed through on all the associated timesheets.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note** - When a sender includes payment information in their invoice details, this information will be superseded by any deliberate Payment Method set on the workflow.
{% endhint %}

Payment Methods are accessible via the tab in your account settings, see link with your name, top right.

### Adding Payment Details

Payment information is different across the world, so Zipwire uses AI to understand and structure the information you enter.

To add a payment method, choose the country that the bank resides in, enter a name and then type in the all the details you think someone will need to send you money - as if you were going to email your bank details to a friend in another country.

So long as you describe it well, it'll take a variety of text!

Examples:

* "Robert Johnson, Royal Bank of Canada, Transit: 00001, Account: 123456789"
* "Name: Jussi Virtanen IBAN: FI21 1234 5600 0007 85 BIC: ABCDFIHH Bank Name: Finland Bank"

### Blockchain Payments

Enter as much about the blockchain address, network or chain as you can and write the name of the token(s) you accept.

As above, Zipwire will defer to the knowledge of AI to work out what the address is and store it properly.

Examples

* "Send Bitcoin to <yourname@strike.me>"
* "Send USDC or USDT to X-avax1cxqnllsxg6qqe5zg7rjgdp6prw5s6kdk8emel"

{% hint style="info" %}
**Important** - Zipwire currently has no payments mechanism built in. The information is simply passed on to the processor of your timesheet. Ultimately it is up to them what they do with this information and whether they can send money to you. Please consult with whoever pays you.
