# Accept Crypto Payment

**Checkout Session** is a standard object used to start accepting the crypto payments in USDC, USDT, DAI, ETH, BTC, MATIC, etc.

Let's create our first Checkout Session to accept **1 USDC** from user.

* We will be using a `curl` to request Bitstream APIs.
* Make sure you generate your `API_KEY` from our Dashboard. If you don't have one, then generate it from [here](https://bitstream-technologies.gitbook.io/bitstream-technologies-1/broken-reference).
* You will need test ERC20 Faucets to make the payment, you can request them from <https://dashboard.bitstream.dev/faucet>. If you need more faucet, then feel free to contact our team via Telegram.
* As you are using test environment, there is no real money involved. So feel free to play around.

```
