Generate Address's
The create method of the receive endpoint generates a unique Ethereum address to which the customer may send payments.
NOTE
You can only send ONE payment to each generated Ethereum address!
Anymore than ONE payment WILL NOT be detected!
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.
