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 POL amounts on merchant invoices — so it carries no hidden spread or markup.
Polygon trades around the clock on global markets, so the GBP value can drift between the moment you quote and the moment someone pays. crypt.pe invoices lock the POL quantity for the quote window, so the payer always sends the exact amount you asked for — but the fiat-equivalent value of that POL can still move with the market after it lands in your wallet. if you want your invoice value pinned to the dollar, price it in a stablecoin instead.
yes — create a tracked invoice on crypt.pe, enter the amount, and the exact POL quantity is computed at that moment on Polygon. 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 POL you would use an exchange; to get paid in POL at exact fiat pricing, a crypt.pe payment page does it with 0% platform fees.
polygon settles on its native network (Polygon). there is no wrapped or bridged variant to worry about on crypt.pe — send from any wallet or exchange that supports POL withdrawals and the on-chain match confirms it.
