  • After connecting, you can view your balance in Ethereum (ETH) and its equivalent in your local currency (e.g., Rands).

With your wallet connected, you can now accept crypto payments from users using either self-custodial or custodial wallets.

The Difference Between Native and Stable Coins

Native coins, like Ethereum (ETH) and Binance Coin (BNB), are the main cryptocurrencies used on their respective blockchains. They can be volatile, meaning their value can go up and down frequently.

Stable coins, like USDC and Tether (USDT), are designed to have a stable value, usually linked to a traditional currency like the US Dollar. They are preferred by merchants who want to avoid price fluctuations.

We recommend accepting both native and stable coins for payments, as they provide flexibility and reliability.

The Chains We Support

We currently support all chains in the Ethereum network (EVM), and more blockchain networks will be supported soon. These are a few chains we recommend for your business:

ChainCurrency/Coin
EthereumETH / USDC / Dai / Tether (USDT)
BinanceBNB / PayPal USD / USDC / Dai / USDT
BaseB-ETH / USDC / USDT / Dai

We recommend that merchants primarily accept native tokens and stable coins and avoid other ERC20 tokens.
