I have been looking for a solution for my store for a long time so that customers can pay for goods with cryptocurrency. I am very happy with this plugin because it has everything I need. Store-free and easy integration. Thanks a lot!

Highly recommend this plugin as it allows you to accept various forms of cryptocurrency payments for products and services sold on your website (Stellar lumens (XLM), Bitcoin (BTC), Litecoin (LTC), Ether (ETH), and Ripple (XRP)). Works well for donations too. In addition, it lets you select the currency you want delivered, be it a cryptocurrency or a fiat currency like Brazilian Real, Canadian Dollars, Euro, Naira, or US Dollars. Your customers can select the method of value they want to use to pay and you get to pick the method of value you want. It converts it all behind the scenes at the current market value of the currency used to pay and the currency you receive. They also provide invoicing and tracking because it plugs into their much larger API.
