the rate aggregates live order-book prices from major exchanges and refreshes every 30 seconds. it is a mid-market reference rate — the same feed crypt.pe uses to lock exact BCH amounts on merchant invoices — so it carries no hidden spread or markup.
Bitcoin Cash trades around the clock on global markets, so the CAD value can drift between the moment you quote and the moment someone pays. that is exactly why crypt.pe invoices lock the BCH quantity at creation time: a CA$100 invoice stays CA$100 regardless of what the chart does afterwards.
yes — create a tracked invoice on crypt.pe, enter the amount, and the exact BCH quantity is computed at that moment on Bitcoin Cash. the payer's wallet pre-fills it from the QR and the on-chain match marks it paid, with the fiat value recorded for bookkeeping.
no. this page only shows the live reference value — nothing is exchanged, no account is needed and no funds are touched. to actually sell BCH you would use an exchange; to get paid in BCH at exact fiat pricing, a crypt.pe payment page does it with 0% platform fees.
