Generate Address's
The create method of the receive endpoint generates a unique Ethereum address to which the customer may send payments.
The Ethereum network uses large fees to process transactions as transactions cancel on their own if not found within a short period of time. It is advised to only use Ethereum for larger payments starting at $500 or above.
