How to pay for Apollo Group TV with Shakepay (Canada)
Shakepay is a Canadian app for buying Bitcoin, funded by Interac e-Transfer from your bank. You can send Bitcoin from it to an outside address, which is how you pay an Apollo Group TV invoice that offers Bitcoin.
Before you start
Who can sign up
You need to live in Canada, be 18 or older and have a Canadian mobile number.
Verify your identity
Shakepay checks your identity before you can trade. When it asks for photo ID, it accepts a valid ID such as a passport, a Canadian driver's license or a provincial ID card, but not scans, screenshots or expired IDs. A check by hand can take Shakepay up to 4 days, so verify before you order.
A registered provider
Shakepay is registered with FINTRAC as a money services business. Since January 2025 it has also been an investment dealer and a member of CIRO, the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization.
Check the invoice
Use this route only if our invoice offers Bitcoin. Ask us on WhatsApp first if you can't see a Bitcoin option.
Paying with Shakepay, step by step
Create and verify your account
Install Shakepay from the App Store or Google Play, sign up with your Canadian mobile number and complete the identity check.
Add Canadian dollars
Fund your account with an Interac e-Transfer from your bank. Shakepay doesn't charge for funding your account.
Order your plan
Pick a plan on the pricing page and tap Order on WhatsApp. We email you an invoice or payment link in US dollars, with the BTC amount and a Bitcoin address.
Buy Bitcoin
Buy a little more than the BTC amount on the invoice. Shakepay's price includes its spread, so check the amount before you confirm.
Send it to the invoice address
Choose Send, paste the address from the invoice or scan its QR code, enter the exact BTC amount and pick a speed. Normal is sent within 12 hours, Shakepay covers the network fee and the minimum is 0.0005 BTC. Fast takes about 10 minutes and you pay the fee, but one Fast send a month is free.
Get your login
Once the payment is confirmed on the Bitcoin network, we activate your line and send your login on WhatsApp and by email. See our install guides for setup.
Shakepay fees, timing and refunds
What Shakepay charges
Shakepay charges no commission or funding fees. It earns a spread on the price, which it targets at 0.5% to 2.0% and says can be up to 1.5% higher in difficult market conditions. (Checked October 2026 on Shakepay's help centre.)
How long it takes
Normal sends leave Shakepay within 12 hours. Fast sends take about 10 minutes. If your invoice has a time limit, use Fast. We activate your line once the payment is confirmed.
How refunds work
Paid plans have a 24-hour money-back guarantee, counted from activation. We refund in Bitcoin, to a Bitcoin address you control, such as your Shakepay receive address. The amount is the US dollars you paid, converted at the rate on the day we send it. See our refund policy.
Shakepay questions
Can I use Shakepay in Quebec?
Yes. Shakepay serves customers in every Canadian province and territory, including Quebec. You need to live in Canada and have a Canadian mobile number.
Do I pay in Canadian dollars?
You fund Shakepay in Canadian dollars, but our plans are priced in US dollars. The invoice shows the BTC amount for the US dollar price, so your cost in Canadian dollars depends on the Bitcoin price when you buy.
Should I use Normal or Fast?
Normal costs you nothing and leaves Shakepay within 12 hours, but needs at least 0.0005 BTC. Fast takes about 10 minutes and you pay the network fee, though one Fast send a month is free. If the invoice has a time limit, use Fast.
Can I pay over Lightning from Shakepay?
Shakepay can send over Lightning, but only use it if our invoice shows a Lightning payment request. If it shows a regular Bitcoin address, send on-chain.
