Step-by-step instructions
Understand the payment page
After selecting a subscription plan, you will be redirected to a secure payment page. This page shows a Bitcoin address, a QR code, the exact amount to pay, and a countdown timer.
Choose your payment method
The payment page supports two options: on-chain Bitcoin (standard, works with any wallet) and Lightning Network (faster, lower fees). Toggle between them using the tabs on the payment page.
Pro tip: Lightning is faster and cheaper — use it if your wallet supports it.
Open your Bitcoin wallet
Open any Bitcoin wallet on your phone, computer, or hardware device. If you do not have Bitcoin yet, see our other guides for buying Bitcoin with Cash App, Venmo, or a credit card.
Scan the QR code
Use your wallet's scan feature to capture the QR code displayed on the payment page. This automatically fills in the recipient address and amount. Alternatively, copy the address and amount manually.
Pro tip: Scanning the QR code is the safest way to avoid typing errors in the wallet address.
Verify the amount
Make sure the amount in your wallet matches the amount shown on the payment page. For on-chain payments, you may need to add a small network fee on top.
Send the payment
Confirm and send the Bitcoin transaction from your wallet. The payment page will update in real-time as it detects your transaction.
Wait for confirmation
For Lightning payments, confirmation is nearly instant (under 10 seconds). For on-chain payments, wait for the blockchain to confirm the transaction — usually 10–30 minutes with a standard fee.
Subscription activates automatically
Once the payment is confirmed, your Apollo Group TV subscription activates immediately. You will receive a confirmation email with your credentials and setup instructions.

Frequently asked questions
Do not worry — the payment address remains valid for the duration shown on the timer. If you already sent the Bitcoin, it will still be detected and your subscription will activate. Check your email for a confirmation once the payment is processed.
