Frequently asked questions
What is a cryptocurrency payment gateway?
A cryptocurrency payment gateway lets your WooCommerce store accept digital currencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and USDC as payment. AURAS Pay handles the blockchain payment flow, verifies the transaction on-chain, and confirms the order automatically.
Which cryptocurrencies can I accept?
You can accept Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and USD Coin (USDC). Customers choose their preferred cryptocurrency at checkout. More coins and networks are added over time.
Do I need a cryptocurrency wallet?
Yes, you need a crypto wallet to receive payments. You can use any wallet that supports the cryptocurrencies you want to accept (for example Phantom for Solana, MetaMask for Ethereum, or any BTC wallet).
Is AURAS Pay non-custodial?
Yes. AURAS Pay is non-custodial, meaning crypto payments go directly to your own wallet. You always stay in control of your funds.
How do I get an API key?
Sign up for a free account at auraspay.com, complete the verification process, and generate your API key from the dashboard.
Are there any transaction fees?
AURAS Pay does not charge transaction or service fees on payments. Transactions occur directly between customers and merchants, with no intermediaries. Only standard blockchain network fees (gas fees) may apply, depending on the selected cryptocurrency and network conditions. Merchants only pay for their chosen API subscription plan, which provides access to AURAS Pay’s gateway, integrations, and merchant tools.
How long does it take to receive crypto payments?
Payments are typically confirmed within seconds to a few minutes, depending on the blockchain network. Solana is usually the fastest (1-2 seconds).
Can I accept stablecoins like USDC?
Yes! You can accept USDC, a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US dollar, which helps you avoid crypto price volatility while still getting the benefits of blockchain payments.
What happens if a payment fails?
If a crypto payment fails or expires, the order is automatically cancelled, and the customer can try again or choose a different payment method.
Is this crypto plugin secure?
Yes. The plugin follows WordPress and WooCommerce security best practices. All API communications are encrypted, and webhook signatures are verified on every callback.
Can I test before going live?
Absolutely! Use test API credentials from your AURAS Pay dashboard to test the full crypto payment flow without processing real transactions.
Do you offer refunds?
Cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible. If you need to refund a customer, you will need to send them cryptocurrency manually from your wallet.
Does this work with the WooCommerce block checkout?
Yes. AURAS Pay supports both the classic checkout and the newer WooCommerce Blocks (Cart & Checkout) experience.
