Title: How can I tell which customers are which when receiving incoming bitcoin payment Post by: gcgipson on November 27, 2017, 07:21:53 PM Hello, I'm getting back into bitcoin but I have a question.
I am using a simple wallet from Blockchain.info and I want to be able to receive multiple payments from different customers, for the same exact amount. However, I am not clear how I can tell the difference from one customer to another when receiving incoming bitcoin payments. Is there a way to tell the difference between customers? Thanks in advance.

It gives new payment address for every customer automatically and then received payments are accumulated in your account.
Or you can do it manually by giving new payment address for every new customer. Using same payment address for every new customer will cause headache to you, especially when you receive exact same amounts of btc.

Thanks in advance. Individual BTC addresses for each customer is probably the cleanest solution. If you know how to code (or have someone who does) you could look into Blockchain.info's API. Based on your xPub key you can use it to generate individual BTC addresses and to monitor them as well. May be a viable option since you already use their wallet anyway. https://blockchain.info/api/api_receive |
