When a customer chooses to pay the invoice online with bitcoin, the customer is presented with instructions from the linked Bitcoin payment processor to complete the transaction.
The business can then elect to receive final payment in cryptocurrency or another currency. Intuit does not charge a fee for this add-on service but the Bitcoin network typically does.
You can use Bitcoin to deposit funds into your Microsoft account.
