Crypto payments allow customers to pay using cryptocurrencies from anywhere in the world. Transactions are billed in USD, so you receive fiat currency while customers pay with their preferred crypto wallet.

​

How It Works

​
Customer Experience

  1. Customer selects Crypto at checkout
  2. A wallet address and QR code are displayed with the amount in crypto
  3. Customer sends the exact amount from their crypto wallet
  4. Transaction is confirmed on the blockchain
  5. Customer is redirected to the success page
Crypto payments are billed in USD. The crypto amount displayed at checkout reflects the real-time exchange rate at the time of payment.

​
Best Practices

Not all customers have crypto wallets. Always include credit and debit as fallback payment methods.
Blockchain confirmations can take minutes depending on the network. Ensure your checkout communicates this to customers.
Crypto payments may occasionally differ slightly from the exact amount due to network fees. Monitor webhooks for payment status updates.

​
Troubleshooting

Check:
  1. crypto included in allowed_payment_method_types?
  2. Transaction amount meets minimum ($0.50)?
Solution: Verify the payment method type is correctly passed in your API request.
Cause: Blockchain confirmation times vary. Some networks take longer than others.Solution: Wait for webhook confirmation. Do not treat the payment as failed until the confirmation window has passed.
Cause: Crypto exchange rates fluctuate between the time the payment is initiated and when it’s sent.Solution: Monitor webhooks for the final confirmed amount. Small discrepancies are handled automatically.
