# BlockBee > Effortless crypto payments with instant payouts. BlockBee is a cryptocurrency payment processing platform for businesses. It provides non-custodial crypto payment acceptance and mass payouts with low fees for merchants worldwide. BlockBee is a business-to-business cryptocurrency payment processing company that lets merchants accept and send crypto payments without giving up custody of their funds. It provides a non-custodial platform for incoming payments and mass payouts, aimed at online and physical businesses that want to add digital currency as a payment option. Its offering is built for merchants ranging from e-commerce shops to point-of-sale retailers seeking a straightforward way to handle crypto transactions. The platform addresses common pain points in crypto payment processing, such as slow transaction confirmations, complicated integration, and inconsistent support. Funds settle directly to a merchant's own wallet once a transaction receives blockchain confirmation, and merchants can optionally split incoming funds across several wallets or convert received crypto into other currencies through connected exchange integrations. Monitoring tools are used to flag suspicious transactions as part of its compliance processes. BlockBee's offering spans an API for custom payment flows, a hosted checkout page, e-commerce plugins, and a point-of-sale application for in-person crypto acceptance, alongside mass payout tools for outgoing transactions. It supports acceptance of a range of cryptocurrencies without requiring monthly fees, charging per-transaction fees instead. The platform is used by online merchants, retailers, and businesses that need to receive or disburse crypto payments at scale. BlockBee operates as the current brand of a platform previously known under a different name, continuing the same underlying payment infrastructure. - Type: Company - Sector: Payments - Status: Active - Founded: 2022-09-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/blockbee ## Products - [BlockBee Payment Gateway](https://thegrid.id/profiles/blockbee): BlockBee Payment Gateway is a merchant payment gateway that lets businesses accept cryptocurrency payments online, in person, and through messaging channels.

(Merchant Payment Gateway, Live, Main Product) - [BlockBee Self-Custodial Wallet](https://thegrid.id/profiles/blockbee): BlockBee Self-Custodial Wallet is custody technology that lets merchants hold their own private keys while BlockBee handles payment routing and payout execution. It uses a threshold signature scheme dividing signing authority into three key shares, requiring at least two shares to authorize a transaction, so BlockBee cannot move funds unilaterally. Users can send automated payouts to multiple addresses in a single request through the dashboard or API, with a separate recovery key allowing key regeneration if access is lost. The wallet supports multiple cryptocurrencies across several blockchain networks. (Custody Technology Provider, Live) - [BlockBee Payment Links](https://thegrid.id/profiles/blockbee): BlockBee Payment Links is a payment link and request tool that lets merchants create shareable payment pages without coding or website integration. Users generate custom links through the dashboard, set payment amounts and accepted cryptocurrencies, and share links with customers through any communication channel. Each link produces a hosted payment page where customers select a cryptocurrency and complete the transaction, with real-time payment notifications and support for one-time or reusable links. (Payment Links & Request Tools, Live) - [BlockBee Storefront](https://thegrid.id/profiles/blockbee): BlockBee Storefront is an online retail platform that provides a hosted store page for selling products, services, or accepting donations with cryptocurrency payments. Merchants configure the store entirely through the BlockBee dashboard, including product listings, pricing, and payment settings, without writing code. The platform hosts the storefront and processes all cryptocurrency transactions, sending email notifications for completed orders and letting merchants manage inventory through the dashboard. (Online Retail Platform, Live) - [BlockBee Subscriptions](https://thegrid.id/profiles/blockbee): BlockBee Subscriptions is a subscription and streaming payments product that enables recurring cryptocurrency billing for membership sites, software platforms, and other subscription-based businesses. Merchants create subscription plans with defined billing intervals and pricing through the API, and BlockBee tracks renewal cycles and sends automated email reminders to customers. Customers receive payment instructions and complete renewals using cryptocurrency, while merchants receive notifications when subscriptions are renewed, expire, or are cancelled through webhook events.
