# Hardware Wallet Support

**🔐 Full Control, Even Offline**

With AstraPay, you're not limited to hot wallets or connected accounts. You can set any valid wallet address — including **cold storage or hardware wallets** — as your receiving address.

This means you can accept payments securely while keeping your assets offline and out of reach from potential threats.

**💼 How It Works**

* During setup, you assign a **Master Address** for each blockchain you want to accept payments on.
* You can input addresses from hardware wallets such as:
  * **Ledger**
  * **Trezor**
  * **SafePal**
  * **Keystone**, and others
* Once a customer pays, funds are routed from the temporary AstraPay wallet directly to your **offline wallet** — without any need to connect or approve manually.

#### 🛡️ Ideal for Long-Term Holders & High-Volume Merchants

This feature is especially useful for:

* Businesses that prefer to store funds securely offline
* High-volume merchants who want added security
* Individuals accepting large payments (e.g., real estate, consulting, luxury items)

AstraPay gives you **the flexibility to operate how you want**, without compromising on security.
