Using and Creating a Single Address Wallet in the BitPay app

The BitPay app, by default and to protect your privacy, automatically generates a new address for your wallet after using a Bitcoin address (same for Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, or Dogecoin). For more details, see Why does my BitPay wallet’s address keep changing?

A single Bitcoin address is sometimes used for simplicity, easy tracking, or as a public donation address. While using a new address per transaction is better for privacy and security, a single address acts as a static "account number," ideal for shared, repeated, or small public transactions. Single addresses are harder to manage wallet inputs and outputs, potentially increasing future fees.
