FAQ
Do I need an API key? No. You just need to insert your crypto address of the cryptocurrencies you wish to accept. Whenever a customer pays, the money will be automatically and instantly forwarded to your address.
How long do payments take before they’re confirmed? This depends on the cryptocurrency you’re using. Bitcoin usually takes up to 11 minutes, Ethereum usually takes less than a minute.
Is there a minimum for a payment? Yes, the minimums change according to the chosen cryptocurrency and can be checked here.
If the WooCommerce order total is below the chosen cryptocurrency’s minimum, an error is raised to the user.
Where can I find more documentation on your service? You can find more documentation about our service on our get started page, our technical documentation page or our eCommerce page.
