MoonPay has unveiled its latest offering, a platform designed to streamline cryptocurrency payments for businesses, developers, and creators. Known as MoonPay Commerce, this newly launched platform serves to facilitate quick, secure, and direct acceptance of digital currencies.
The integration of MoonPay’s robust infrastructure with technology from Helio—a crypto payments startup acquired by MoonPay—marks a significant advancement in creating a unified platform for digital commerce. With this move, MoonPay aims to simplify the often complicated landscape of crypto payment integration, encouraging more widespread adoption.
As of now, MoonPay Commerce supports an array of major cryptocurrencies including USDC, USDT, ETH, SOL, and BTC. The platform is already in use by over 6,000 entities—ranging from established businesses to emerging creators. Notable companies such as Shopify, The Solana Foundation, Ledger, CoinMarketCap, and Fortune Media have all harnessed the capabilities of this platform.
One of the standout features is the seamless integration of Solana Pay within Shopify. Originally developed by Helio for the Solana Foundation, this feature allows merchants to accept cryptographic payments directly from digital wallets. This integration aims to eliminate intermediaries and enhance efficiency, thereby reducing unexpected chargebacks.
MoonPay Commerce enables merchants to create customized checkouts, subscriptions, and deposit solutions in minutes. The platform includes a dashboard equipped with real-time analytics and numerous customization tools. Businesses can integrate payments in various ways, including through widgets, plug-ins, payment links, or direct crypto deposits. In addition, the “Pay with Card” feature allows customers to transact using traditional credit or debit cards while merchants receive the equivalent amount in cryptocurrency.
For developers and businesses with advanced requirements, MoonPay Commerce offers a suite of APIs, SDKs, and webhooks to facilitate deeper integration. Enterprise-level options allow for the splitting of payments across multiple wallets, the establishment of referral programs, and the linkage of memberships to platforms like Discord or Telegram.
Transaction processes have been optimized to maximize success rates while minimizing costs, featuring low fees and direct settlements between buyers and sellers. Merchants can choose to receive payments in their selected cryptocurrency or have them automatically converted to fiat currencies such as the US dollar or euro.
In a smooth transition, MoonPay has assured that all Helio users will migrate to MoonPay Commerce without any interruptions in service. With a user base nearing 30 million and partnerships with over 500 companies, MoonPay is effectively positioning itself as a leading force in driving global cryptocurrency payment acceptance.
