About Cryptonly
From the official readme · v1.1.1Description
Website | Live Demo | Documentation
Let your customers pay with Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, and other cryptocurrencies — no crypto experience needed on your side.
You keep pricing products in your usual currency. At checkout, the customer picks a coin, sees exactly how much to send, and pays on a secure Cryptonly page. Once the payment is confirmed, the order in WooCommerce is marked as paid — no manual checking, no matching transactions by hand.
Why choose Cryptonly
- No chargebacks. Crypto payments are final — payment disputes and chargeback fraud disappear.
- Simple pricing. 0.5% per transaction. No setup fee, no monthly fee, no hidden costs.
- Keep your prices in fiat. The crypto amount is calculated live at checkout — you always receive the full order value.
- Sell worldwide. Anyone with a crypto wallet can pay you, from any country.
- Your money, your wallet. Payments go straight to your Cryptonly merchant wallet. Withdraw anytime — you pay only the blockchain network fee.
Setup takes minutes: install the plugin, paste your Cryptonly keys, done.
Works with your store
- Classic checkout and the new block-based Cart/Checkout
- Orders update automatically and securely — no manual status changes
- If a customer leaves before paying, they get a link to finish payment later
- Sandbox mode: test the whole flow safely before accepting real money
- HPOS (custom order tables) compatible
- Available in English, Spanish, German, and Russian
Cryptonly payment processing is subject to the Cryptonly Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
Installation
- Upload the
cryptonly-crypto-payment-gateway-for-woocommercefolder to/wp-content/plugins/. - Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
- Go to WooCommerce → Settings → Payments → Cryptonly.

Where to find your credentials
In your Cryptonly merchant dashboard:
- API Key — Settings → Security → API keys

The API key needs invoices.create, invoices.list, invoices.cancel, and currencies.list.
Enable Sandbox Mode to test with testnets before going live.

Frequently asked questions
Which cryptocurrencies can my customers pay with?
Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, USDC, BNB, TRX, and other assets enabled in your Cryptonly merchant account. Customers choose the currency and network on the hosted checkout page.
What are the fees?
0.5% per transaction. No setup, monthly, or hidden fees. Withdrawals from your merchant wallet incur only the blockchain network fee.
Do my customers need a Cryptonly account?
No. Customers simply pay from any wallet or exchange — no registration required.
Are chargebacks possible?
No. Crypto payments are final once confirmed on the blockchain, which eliminates chargeback fraud.
Does the plugin work with WooCommerce Blocks checkout?
Yes. Cryptonly appears as a payment method in the Cart and Checkout blocks when the gateway is enabled. Classic shortcode checkout is also supported.
Can I test the complete payment flow before going live?
Yes. Enable Sandbox Mode and place a test order. You can pay on the test checkout (testnets only) or click Simulate payment in the sandbox merchant dashboard to mark the order as paid without sending real funds. See Sandbox environment and Testing your integration.
What happens if a customer abandons checkout?
Nothing is lost. The order stays pending, and the customer can finish paying later — a Complete payment button appears on the thank-you page, in order emails, and under My Account → Orders.
Can I customize customer-facing text?
Yes. In WooCommerce → Settings → Payments → Cryptonly, set Title for the checkout payment method label and Resume payment button for the continue-payment link on order pages and emails. Leave a field empty to use the plugin default (translatable via standard WordPress translation tools).
What languages is the plugin available in?
English, Spanish (es_ES), German (de_DE), and Russian (ru_RU). The plugin follows your site language (Settings → General → Site Language) and is fully translatable (text domain cryptonly-crypto-payment-gateway-for-woocommerce).
