Customer payments settle into the wallet of the charge’s mode, live or test. You pay out from that same wallet.

One card per wallet: balances, deposit addresses, and the payout form

​
Read your balances

The wallet card, titled My Bark Wallet in live mode and signet in test mode, lists one row per state: On-chain payments, to a charge or to the on-chain deposit address, land in Barkd’s separate on-chain wallet, shown in the two on-chain rows. They leave it only through an On-chain payout.

​
Deposit bitcoin

The wallet card shows two deposit addresses. Copy the one that matches how you want to send:
  • Ark deposit address: For a payment from a wallet app on the same Ark server. It arrives in the spendable balance.
  • On-chain deposit address: For a regular on-chain payment. It lands in Barkd’s on-chain wallet.

​
Manual payout

Use Manual payout to move bitcoin out: to your own cold storage, to a supplier, or to refund a customer.
The dashboard accepts at most ten payouts per minute from one IP address.

Select the rail

  • Lightning: Pays a BOLT11 invoice, a BOLT12 offer, or a Lightning address.
  • Ark: Pays an Ark address on the same Ark server.
  • On-chain: Pays an on-chain address from Barkd’s on-chain wallet.

Paste the destination

Paste a bare invoice, offer, or address, not a bitcoin: payment link. If it belongs to another rail, Bark Pay tells you which one to select.
3

Enter the amount in sats

A BOLT11 invoice with a fixed amount fills the field and locks it. A Lightning address always needs an amount, even though the field reads optional.
4

Select Review payout

The Confirm payout drawer summarizes the amount, rail, wallet, and destination.
5

Select Send payout

A Payout sent. toast confirms that Barkd accepted it. A Lightning payout stays under Pending LN send until it settles.
A payout cannot be undone once sent. If Bark Pay reports that the send outcome is unknown, check whether the payout went through before you retry, so you don’t pay twice. For a Lightning or Ark payout, reload the Wallet page and check the Spendable row. For an On-chain payout, look up the destination address in a block explorer.
Sends to an Ark address are free. Lightning sends carry the Ark server’s fees, which scale with the amount and your VTXOs’ remaining lifetime. On-chain sends pay the usual miner fee. See Second’s pricing.
