How to Change Currency Settlement & Payout Settings?

One of CoinGate’s strengths is that merchants can accept cryptocurrencies for payments and receive recurring payouts in a single currency of their choice, crypto or fiat.

When a merchant uses CoinGate API, payment buttons, or the PoS solution, all received coins are automatically converted into USDT by default and can be withdrawn from CoinGate to a merchant’s preferred wallet later. 

However, merchants also have the option to change settlements of all cryptocurrencies that they accept using tools provided on the account dashboard.

How flexible are currency settlements at CoinGate?

In terms of currency settlement options, CoinGate is very flexible, as merchants can:

• Keep coins in their original form. If you, for example, get a payment in ETH, you can keep it and request a payout in ETH to an external wallet.
• Convert crypto earnings to fiat currencies, such as EUR, USD, and GBP.
• Settle one cryptocurrency to another. For example, you can receive LTC but get payouts in BTC, and so on.

How to modify currency settlements?

When a merchant accepts crypto payments with CoinGate, the collected coins are automatically converted to USDT before initiating a payout. This setup can be changed by a merchant in various ways.

Log into your CoinGate business account, then go to the ‘Account Settings > Manage Business’ menu section and navigate to the ‘Currency Settings’ tab to set a different ‘default receive currency’ and three fallback currencies in case there’s a problem with using the default option.

To further modify the currency settlements of individual accepted cryptocurrencies for API, payment button, or Point-of-Sale (PoS) integrations, log into your CoinGate business account and head over to the settings page of your active integration method under the ‘Merchant’ menu tab, as shown in the example below.

In addition, you can turn off particular cryptocurrencies if you don’t want to accept them and also change the positioning of crypto assets presented on the invoice. 

Be mindful that modifying settlements for individual currencies override settings on the ‘Currency Settings’ page at ‘Account Settings > Manage Business’. Click here to learn how to set up settlements for each currency step-by-step. 

What payout options are available at CoinGate?

Payouts refer to a process of withdrawing the collected cryptocurrencies from CoinGate. Payout address settings is a place to provide a destination for withdrawals of these funds.
