The point about using BitPay is that they can directly convert the bitcoins you charge into USD and they also allow you defining a USD price instead of a bitcoin price. Makes it a bit safer in terms of revenue.
In general, the systems work just like any other biller BFT3K. I do not see where the confusion is. All these billers work the same way. You pay via Bitcoin, something like BitPay does a postback to your backend, or use use bitcoind to take coins directly and that handles the postback in some shape.
The bigger problem I see with bitcoins from a tech standpoint that transactions are not INSTANT! They require CONFIRMATION to be safe and permanent. Meaning for you to know they are real transactions, they need multiple confirmations in the blockchain. I am not sure how BitPay handles this, so not sure how it would work.
