The Pairing Code is automatically generated when saving the gateway configuration. This field should be left empty to automatically generate the value. When changing from Test Mode to Live, this field should be emptied. This pairing code should be entered into your BitPay account. This is done in Payment Tools > Manage API Tokens.

The transaction speed setting determines how quickly an invoice payment is considered to be "confirmed," which would be the status at which you would fulfill and complete the order.
