Accept crypto payments for e-commerce on the store you already run
Add Bitcoin, USDT and 110+ coins to WooCommerce, PrestaShop, OpenCart or CS-Cart with a free plugin. Orders are marked paid automatically, and a confirmed crypto payment cannot be charged back.
Every online store knows the cost of cards: a cut of every sale, extra charges on foreign cards, and chargebacks that can arrive months after the parcel was delivered. Shoppers abroad add their own friction, with cards that are declined at checkout for reasons you never get to see. When you accept crypto payments for e-commerce, a customer anywhere can pay you directly, and a confirmed payment is final.
CryptoPayr fits into the shop you already run. Free, official plugins cover WooCommerce, PrestaShop, OpenCart, CS-Cart, PhpShop and Easy Digital Downloads, and custom stores can use the popup checkout script, the hosted checkout or the REST API. When a payment is final on the blockchain, CryptoPayr tells your store and the order is marked paid automatically, with an email and a dashboard notification for you.
Shoppers pay with Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, USDC, Litecoin, Solana, Dogecoin and more than 110 coins on every major network, at a checkout available in 25 languages and with no account to create. Customers who do not hold crypto can use a card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal in the US or iDEAL in the Netherlands, through partners that turn the money into crypto for the order. Overpayments are saved as credit for the shopper's next order instead of being lost.
Revenue settles to a USD balance by default, so coin volatility never touches your margins, or you can keep the exact coins shoppers send. Refunds go out from the dashboard: the customer gets an email link and enters the address to receive the money. Fees are 2% per sale, dropping to 1.5% above $1,000 a month and 1% above $5,000 a month, with no setup fees, no monthly fees and no KYC to open the account.
The problem with card payments for e-commerce
Card fees on every order
Card processing takes a slice of every sale, then adds more for international cards and currency conversion. On a store with thin margins, those charges can be the difference between a profitable order and a loss, and they grow with every customer you win abroad.
Chargebacks after delivery
A customer receives the parcel and then tells their bank it never arrived, or that they never placed the order. The card network often sides with the cardholder, so you lose the goods, the payment and a dispute fee, with little chance to argue your case.
International shoppers who cannot pay
Cross-border orders are where a lot of growth is, and where cards fail most often. Foreign cards are declined by fraud filters, some countries have limited access to international payments, and shoppers abandon a full cart rather than try a third card.
Waiting on your own money
Card payouts arrive days after the sale, and a new store can see its funds held while the processor reviews its sales history. Cash flow for stock, ads and shipping depends on a schedule you do not control, and a single policy change can pause it.
Crypto payments for e-commerce, done properly
Free e-commerce plugins for popular carts
Official plugins for WooCommerce, PrestaShop, OpenCart, CS-Cart, PhpShop and Easy Digital Downloads add crypto as a payment method at your checkout. Orders are marked paid automatically when the payment is final, so fulfillment runs on its own.
No chargebacks on crypto payments
Confirmed crypto payments are final. No bank can reverse one after the parcel has shipped, and no dispute fee lands weeks later. When a return or a mistake does call for a refund, you send it from the dashboard or the API.
Refunds by email link
Issue a refund and the customer receives an email with a link where they enter the address to receive it. You never have to ask for wallet details over chat, and the refund is tied to the original order in your dashboard.
Checkout for shoppers everywhere
The hosted checkout runs in 25 languages and needs no customer account. On Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche and Arbitrum, shoppers can pay straight from MetaMask or any WalletConnect wallet, and overpayments are saved as credit for their next order.
Card and local options for non-crypto buyers
Switch on Pay by card for Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal for US buyers, Klarna in Sweden, iDEAL in the Netherlands and more. The buyer pays the card fee on top, and you are credited the order amount minus your normal processing fee.
Settlement and payouts your way
Get every sale credited to a USD balance, or keep the exact coins shoppers paid with. Withdraw to your own wallet in the coin you choose, or schedule automatic payouts for every day, week or month, or for whenever your balance reaches a set amount.

Crypto payments for e-commerce: FAQ
Which e-commerce platforms does CryptoPayr support?
There are free, official plugins for WooCommerce, PrestaShop, OpenCart, CS-Cart, PhpShop and Easy Digital Downloads. Stores built on other platforms or on custom code can add the popup checkout script, send shoppers to the hosted checkout or use the REST API with the PHP, Python or Node.js SDK.
How are crypto orders marked as paid?
Automatically. When the shopper's payment is final on the blockchain, CryptoPayr notifies your store and the order status changes to paid, ready for fulfillment. You also get an email and see the payment in your dashboard. If a shopper sends slightly less than the total, your underpayment tolerance decides whether the order still completes.
Can customers still charge back an order?
Not one paid in crypto. A confirmed blockchain payment is final, so there is no bank dispute after delivery. If a customer pays through one of the card options, any card dispute is between them and the partner who sold them the crypto, and you keep a settled crypto payment.
How do refunds work?
Start the refund from your dashboard or through the API. The customer receives an email link, enters the address where they want to receive the money, and the refund is sent. No wallet addresses need to be collected by email, and nobody has to copy an address out of a chat message.
What does it cost to accept crypto payments in my store?
Nothing to set up and nothing per month. You pay 2% per payment, dropping to 1.5% above $1,000 a month and 1% above $5,000 a month. Shoppers who choose a card option pay the card fee on top of the order, which is the greater of $2.99 or 9% plus $1.50.
Do I have to hold crypto?
No. By default every payment is converted and credited to your USD balance, so the value of a sale is fixed when it settles. If you would like to hold crypto, switch to keeping the exact coin each shopper paid with. Either way you can withdraw to your own wallet or schedule automatic payouts.
Can I accept crypto in a physical shop too?
Yes. Turn on the point-of-sale QR terminal and you can take crypto payments in person: enter the amount, the customer scans the code and pays from their phone. In-store and online sales land in the same balance and show up in the same dashboard.
