How to accept Litecoin
Create a LTC deposit address
Send one request with the URL to notify and the Litecoin wallet that receives the money. The same callback URL always returns the same address.

LTC on Litecoin
Litecoin mines a block every two and a half minutes with low fees; payments are forwarded in a single transaction once confirmed.
For LTC, the network cost of forwarding comes out of the payment itself: you receive the amount paid minus our fee and the gas of the forward.

Litecoin payments: questions
What is the minimum Litecoin payment?
0.002 LTC. A smaller payment is still recorded and shown in /logs/, but it is not forwarded, so that the network cost can never eat the payment.
How long until a Litecoin payment reaches my wallet?
We forward it once it has 2 confirmations on Litecoin, which takes about 5 minutes on average, then send your server a signed callback with the forwarding transaction id.
Who pays the network fee for Litecoin?
The network fee of the forwarding transaction is taken from the LTC payment itself, so you never hold LTC for fees.
Do I need an account to accept Litecoin?
No. There is no sign-up and no API key: one request to /ltc/create/ with your callback URL and your Litecoin wallet returns a deposit address. Funds go straight to that wallet.
