What this plugin does for your store

Not a feature list. Here is what changes in your day-to-day operations once crypto payments go live.

currency_exchange

Settle in fiat or crypto

Customers pay in crypto. You choose whether to receive EUR, USD, GBP in your bank account, or keep the crypto. Exchange rates are locked at the moment of payment, so price volatility is not your problem.

Automated order processing

Every payment is tracked, confirmed and recorded automatically. Order statuses update in your OpenCart dashboard in real time. No manual reconciliation, no chasing confirmations.

task_alt

No chargebacks

Crypto payments are final. Once confirmed on the blockchain, there is no way to reverse them. That is one less operational headache and one less risk your finance team has to account for.

Fiat settlement that works

Some providers promise fiat payouts and then bury the process in verification steps. With us, you connect your bank account, pick EUR/USD/GBP, and receive settlements on a schedule you control.
