Accept AstroPay payments from Latin America and beyond
AstroPay users pay you straight from their wallet: USDT sent from the AstroPay app, or their AstroPay card through our card checkout. You receive a settled payment in USD.
What is AstroPay?
AstroPay is a digital wallet built for people who want to pay and get paid across borders. It is especially popular in Latin America and is used in many other emerging markets, where international cards are hard to get or often declined. Users keep balances in several currencies, send money to friends, and pay online with their AstroPay balance.
Two AstroPay features matter for online payments. The AstroPay app has a USDT wallet, and users can send USDT from it to an outside wallet on TRC-20, ERC-20, BNB Smart Chain and Polygon. And AstroCard, AstroPay's virtual Mastercard, lets users pay at online stores worldwide straight from their AstroPay balance.
For a merchant, accepting AstroPay directly usually means a separate contract and integration. With CryptoPayr, AstroPay users pay through the checkout you already have, and you receive the money as a settled payment in your USD balance.
How AstroPay works on CryptoPayr
With USDT: at checkout the buyer picks USDT and the network that matches their AstroPay wallet, such as TRON, BNB Chain, Polygon or Ethereum. They open the AstroPay app, send the exact amount to the address on your checkout, and the order is confirmed automatically once the payment is final on the blockchain.
With AstroCard: if you switch on "Pay by card" in Settings → Payments, the buyer can pay with their AstroPay virtual Mastercard through our card partners, for payments from $10. Either way you are credited the order amount in your USD balance, minus your normal processing fee of 2%, 1.5% above $1,000 a month or 1% above $5,000 a month.
How a buyer pays with AstroPay
Choose USDT or card
The buyer picks USDT on the network their AstroPay wallet uses, or the card option if you have "Pay by card" switched on.
Pay from AstroPay
For USDT they send the exact amount from the AstroPay app to your checkout address. For card they enter their AstroCard details on the partner page.
Confirm
The buyer confirms the transfer or the card payment in the AstroPay app. Nothing else is needed on their side.
Order confirmed
Once the payment is final, the order is marked paid automatically and the buyer sees the confirmation page.
Why merchants offer AstroPay
Customers who are hard to reach by card
Many AstroPay users live where international cards are declined or unavailable. Their AstroPay balance gives them a way to pay you that works.
No AstroPay contract
There is nothing to sign with AstroPay. Open a free CryptoPayr account with no KYC or KYB, add the checkout and AstroPay users can pay the same day.
Settled in USD
Every payment is credited to your USD balance by default, so currency swings in your buyers' countries never touch an order you already took.
No chargebacks on USDT
A USDT payment confirmed on the blockchain is final. Card payments go through our partners, and you receive a settled crypto payment either way.
Works with every integration
Plugins, payment links, invoices, donation pages and the API all lead to the same checkout, so AstroPay users can pay you wherever you sell.
