If you are holding one or more cryptocurrencies for the long-term, you should prefer to store your funds in a cold wallet for safety and ownership. If you want the speed and flexibility of hot wallets and the security of cold hardware wallets, you can use a Ledger hardware wallet combined with Ledger Live, a software that enables you to easily manage your assets from your desktop or mobile.Â
In this tutorial, you will learn how to pay an invoice using a Ledger Wallet with Request Finance in just a few clicks. To get started, you will need a Request Finance account, a pending crypto invoice awaiting payment in the app, a Ledger hardware wallet, and the Ledger Live desktop application.

Step 1: Review and Approve Invoices
To begin, navigate to the sidebar menu. Click on “Pay” > "Bills".
These invoices have to be reviewed, and approved before they can be paid. This is to ensure that the invoices you receive are both legitimate, and correct.
You can approve and pay invoices individually, or in a batch.
In the same dashboard, navigate to the topmost bar menu, and click “Batch Actions”. You will see a drop down menu. Click “Batch Approve”.
‍
‍
To select the relevant invoices, check the tick boxes to the left of each invoice that you want to approve, and pay. Navigate to the topmost bar menu, and click “Approve Invoices”
‍
‍
Once the status of the selected invoices changes to “Approved”, navigate back to the “Bills'' dashboard via the left sidebar menu. From the topmost bar menu, click the blue button “Batch Payment”.
