What Is a Card-to-Crypto Payment Gateway?
Online payments are evolving. Businesses can now offer familiar card checkout experiences while receiving cryptocurrency through supported payment providers.
A card-to-crypto payment gateway connects traditional card payments with cryptocurrency settlement.
How Does It Work?
The general process includes four steps:
-
Customer selects a product from an online store.
-
Customer pays by card using a supported checkout provider.
-
Payment provider processes the transaction and handles the applicable crypto purchase or conversion.
-
Merchant receives cryptocurrency in the configured wallet, subject to provider requirements.
Customer Pays by Card → Payment Provider → Crypto Settlement → Merchant Wallet
