Accept Ethereum (ETH) for online stores
Add a “Pay with crypto” button: your store creates a payment via the API, the customer pays on a ready-made page, and the order status updates via webhook.
How well Ethereum (ETH) fits online stores
As an extra option · Fit 25%Enable it for customers who hold this coin, but pick another one as the main method.
Pros
- One of the coins buyers know best, which means fewer abandoned payments.
Keep in mind
- The coin’s price moves: set the price in USD and the amount is converted at the rate fixed when the invoice is created.
- The network fee is noticeable: for small orders add a cheaper network to the checkout, such as BEP-20, TON or Solana.

Order ↔ payment
Pass your order number in orderId — it comes back in every webhook.
Prices in dollars
Set the amount in USD — it’s converted to the chosen coin at a locked rate.
ETH and tokens together
One Ethereum address accepts both ETH and USDT/USDC — the customer picks the coin.
A typical integration takes an evening: one request to create a payment at checkout and a webhook handler that marks the order as “Paid”. Repeating the request with the same Idempotency-Key won’t create a second payment, even if the customer clicks the button twice.
ETH suits customers who received it as income or hold it long term and don’t want to swap into a stablecoin before paying.
Recommended coin set for online stores
To cover most customers, enable on the checkout page: USDT TRC-20, USDT BEP-20, USDT on TON. The customer picks the network, and every payment lands on one project balance.
One request to create a payment
The response contains the address, the exact amount and a link to a ready-made payment page. Status updates arrive via HMAC-signed webhooks.
