The Recipients page lets you save payment details for the people and businesses you pay. Each recipient can be paid via bank transfer (ACH / Wire, SEPA, or SWIFT) or via crypto wallet on Solana, Ethereum, Base, Avalanche C-Chain, or Tempo.
Where to find it: Recipients sits in the left-hand sidebar under Payments. Click Payments to expand it, then select Recipients.
Recipients are the people and businesses you pay. The customers you invoice are managed separately under Invoices → Customers. See Customers.
The Recipients list
Each recipient in the list displays:
Name - How the recipient appears across Altitude.
Payment details - The number of payment methods saved for this recipient.
Last paid - The date of the most recent payment to this recipient.
Created on - The date the recipient was added.
Click any recipient to view their saved payment methods or to start a new payment.
Add a recipient
To create a new recipient, go to Payments > Recipients in the sidebar, click Add recipient in the top-right of the page, and complete the two-step form.
Step 1 - Recipient details
Choose the Recipient type: Individual or Business. The type can't be changed after the recipient is created.
Enter the recipient's Name. This is how the recipient will appear across Altitude.
(Optional) Enter an Email. If added, the recipient will receive an email notification when you send them a payment.
Choose the payment Rail: ACH / Wire, SEPA, SWIFT, or Crypto.
Click Next to continue.
Step 2 - Payment details
Enter the payment details for the rail you selected:
ACH / Wire - US bank account and routing details, for USD transfers via ACH or domestic wire (Fedwire).
SEPA - IBAN and BIC, for EUR transfers.
SWIFT - Account number and SWIFT/BIC code, for international bank transfers.
Crypto - Wallet address and network (Solana, Ethereum, Base, Avalanche C-Chain, or Tempo), for stablecoin transfers.
Review the details and click Add to save the recipient.
Once saved, the recipient will appear in your Recipients list and can be selected when sending a payment. You can add more payment methods at any time – see Payment methods below.
Double-check payment details before saving: they can't be edited once added. To correct a mistake later, add a new payment method and delete the outdated one – see Payment methods.
Edit a recipient
To rename a recipient or update their email:
In the left-hand sidebar, click Payments to expand it, then select Recipients.
Hover over the recipient in the list and click the three-dot (•••) menu that appears on the right.
Select Edit. You can also open the recipient and click the pencil icon in the top-right of their details panel.
You can edit:
Name - How the recipient appears across Altitude.
Email - Where the recipient receives payment notifications.
Click Save to apply your changes.
You can't change the Recipient type (Individual or Business) after a recipient is created.
Payment methods
A single recipient can hold payment methods across multiple rails – for example, a US bank account for ACH / Wire, an IBAN for SEPA, and one or more crypto wallets. You don't need a separate recipient for each payment type.
Add a payment method
From Payments > Recipients, click the recipient to open their details panel.
Click + in the Payment methods section.
Choose the Rail and enter the new payment details.
All of the recipient's saved payment methods appear in their details panel, and when you send them a payment you choose which one to use.
Update payment details
Saved payment details can't be edited in place. To update a recipient's bank account or wallet address:
Add a new payment method with the correct details.
Expand the outdated payment method and click its three-dot (•••) menu.
Select Delete to remove it.
Delete a recipient
To remove a recipient entirely, go to Payments > Recipients in the sidebar, hover over them in the list, click the three-dot (•••) menu, and select Delete – or open the recipient and click the trash icon in their details panel.
