What is a crypto deposit address?

A crypto deposit address is a dedicated, static cryptocurrency address that Sheepy can assign to a specific user. The address works on a supported blockchain network and can receive multiple payments over time, so merchants do not need to generate a new address for every transaction.

Merchants can link each deposit address to a unique identifier, such as an internal user ID or UUID. When Sheepy detects an incoming transaction, this identifier helps match the payment to the correct user. After the transaction receives the required network confirmations and the deposit reaches its completed status, the merchant can update the user’s balance accordingly.

Static deposit addresses help businesses automate payment tracking and reconciliation, reduce payment matching errors, and simplify recurring crypto deposits. They are especially useful for platforms that need to identify and process multiple payments from the same users over time.
