does this all happen inside the browser? isn't there any need for special configuration or application in the server?

It is implemented in the browser on the client side.  The wallet application can/should register the URI (some do not and need to be manually configured) you may want to configure your app to display the address or perhaps a qr code on the screen for alternate implementations.

<p>I'm trying to develop an app which integrates with the Bitpay API.
I managed to create an invoice which contains the URL in which to pay with Bitcoins:</p>

<p><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/MQl9g.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>

<p>But the problem is when I click on the Pay with Bitcoin button it redirects me to an address similar to this one:</p>

<pre><code>bitcoin:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?amount=0.0012
</code></pre>

<p>Is this really how its supposed to work? How do I actually pay and complete the transaction? Can you walk me through the process of paying via Bitpay?
Please enlighten me, thanks in advance!</p>
