> Start accepting crypto payments now

CryptAPI is a cryptocurrency payment gateway for merchants. It lets businesses accept crypto payments across e-commerce platforms with funds settled directly to their own wallets, without requiring registration.

CryptAPI is a cryptocurrency payment gateway company that provides merchants with tools to accept digital asset payments. It serves online businesses and e-commerce operators seeking to add cryptocurrency checkout options without building custom infrastructure. The service is aimed at store owners, developers, and platforms looking for a straightforward way to receive crypto payments from customers worldwide.

The gateway addresses the difficulty merchants face when integrating cryptocurrency payments into existing storefronts. It works by forwarding customer payments directly to a merchant's own wallet address, settling each transaction automatically and without the gateway holding custody of funds. Merchants can start accepting payments without creating an account or obtaining an API key, and can verify transactions independently using public block explorers.

Its offering centers on developer APIs paired with prebuilt plugins for popular e-commerce and billing platforms, covering a range of supported cryptocurrencies and tokens. Documentation and open source plugin code support developers integrating the service directly. It is used by online merchants, e-commerce platform operators, and developers building custom crypto payment flows for their businesses.
