Questions tagged [payment-id]
A Payment ID is an encrypted, arbitrary and optional transaction attachment that consists of 8 bytes. A Payment ID is usually used to identify transactions to merchants and exchanges: Given the intrinsic privacy features built into Monero, where a single public address is often used for incoming transactions, a Payment ID is useful to tie incoming payments with user accounts.
