About AURPAY Easy Digital Downloads (EDD)

From the official readme · v2.1.0

Description

Grow globally with crypto and stablecoin checkout. Aurpay’s non-custodial smart contract flow gives you owner-controlled keys, faster settlement, and fees under 1%—vs. cards at 2.9% + 30¢, saving roughly ~$2 per $100 order (subject to network fees/FX).

For example:

On Coinbase, if a merchant has 1,000 ERC20 crypto orders, they would pay 1,000 times more in gas fees according to Coinbase’s model. Each time it costs $2, leading to a loss of $2,000. It’s impossible for Coinbase to subsidize merchants indefinitely.

With Aurpay, you only need to pay one gas fee for 1,000 orders or more, costing just $2. Invisibly, Aurpay generates significant profits for you. Every time you receive our ERC20 tokens, you earn $2. We genuinely care about your success – we make money only when you make money. It’s that simple!
