Bitpay should be having an address on the payment screen and a QR code. Depending on whether you're using electrum on android or your Desktop you can copy the address or scan the QR code. Once that's done you can just hit pay and input your wallet's encrypted password. It's as simple as that.

All payments happen to to Bitpays receiving address from your payment address in electrum.

I suppose you don't know, but there is no address section since 28 dec. Instead of that you have link such as bitcoin:?r=https://bitpay.com/i/TaZtuTiDWRCXVpQiDGZctS and standalone electrum don't know what does it mean. So that's the question how to make a payment to bitpay today using windows electrum

How much can be seen on their page they only support payments through a new protocol and they publish list of wallets that support new protocol.One of that wallets is Electrum so it should work,but maybe it is problem in version of wallet you use.Try to use latest version of Electrum if you not using it now and if you still have problem try to contact developer of Electrum or BitPay support.

Oh okay I see what you're talking about now there's no direct Bitcoin address but an invoice URL. My electrum 3.0.3 reads that fine as well:



I pasted the "bitcoin:?r=https://" url in the "pay to" input box in electrum as below and it recognized it:



Are you facing issues after you click the "Send" button?

Also it mentions that Electrum is among the supported wallets that supports this form of payment: https://support.bitpay.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005559826

OP: No you aren't stupid, but bitpay staff is: lacking documentation, no description with manuals on how to make payments with new protocol, no warning on invoice pages, and the most important part:

I wasted a whole day on understanding why Electrum 3.0.4 is not recognizing the new bitpay URL, giving me the following error:
"payment URL not pointing to a valid server"

Turned out that their payment protocol server uses some kind of CDN that deny Tor Exit Nodes. My Electrum is communicating via Tor, because my goal is staying fully anonymous on the Internet, which I am successful at. (don't tell me some bs such as "it's impossible". i don't use social networks)
So I bought a linux VPS (from a provider that doesn't use bitpay of course) to make an anonymous payment using Electrum headless for a Bitpay invoice of another VPS provider.
First of all, I am now migrating away from every service that now use Bitpay for accepting Bitcoins, demonstrating my own protest.

Yes, I am very disappointed with Bitpay not permitting to use Tor with payment protocol. Bitpay definitely doesn't want you to stay private on the Internet.

Next time you can just do:

https://bitpay.com/invoice-noscript?id=YOUR-INVOICE-ID

and you should see a page with the address and amount to be sent.

Earlier i was using this trick but seems they have block that access too.

If you're having issues with Bitpay over Tor, have a read here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2642207.msg32101713#msg32101713

I was still able to access the no-script page... But it also now requires you to select BTC or BCH as the payment currency...

Following that, you can then use https://decoder.bip70.org/ to decode the URL and get the payment amount and address etc
