Of course, there is - it is called Bitbay, it offers the same features that Bitpay has. It takes care of handling and processing bitcoin transaction for business clients.

Do you have a link? You mean Bitbay, the product for decentralized markets? My understanding was that they didn't even release wallet software yet...

Is there a decent alternative for Bitpay?

There is this Bitpay open source fork that I found at reddit: https://btcpay-server-testnet.azurewebsites.net/

"BTCPay Server is a free and open source server for merchants wanting to accept Bitcoin for their business. The API is compatible with Bitpay service to allow seamless migration."

I'm excited about BTCPay Server, but this isn't an alternative for consumers. That would require merchants to drop Bitpay en masse and adopt BTCPay. It is supposed to work as a drop-in replacement so that there is no work for the merchant. But the fact remains that adoption of FOSS takes time.

I stopped using Bitpay. I still do not have a reponse. After almost three weeks.

I recently used Cointed, a registered company in Austria, which uses a payment solution in cooperation with Swiss Crypto Group. Very smooth processing, zero confirmation payment.

Interesting. I'm glad to see other services gaining prominence. Bitpay and Coinbase have had a monopoly on this sector for too long. Somebody should probably tell Cointed that zero-confirmation payment comes with significant risks, though.
