Can You Accept Crypto on Shopify?

Last updated on January 9, 2023 @ 4:49 pm

The quick answer is yes, you can!

In fact, Shopify is one of the most popular ecommerce platforms in the world and it now supports cryptocurrency payments through its platform. This means that if you have a Shopify store, you can now start accepting payments in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and other major cryptocurrencies.

Here’s how it works:

When a customer goes to checkout on your Shopify store, they will now see the option to pay with Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, or other major cryptocurrencies. When they select this option, they will be given a unique cryptocurrency address to send their payment to. Once the payment is received, Shopify will then convert it into the currency of your choice and deposit the funds into your account.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that Shopify has not yet integrated with any cryptocurrency payment processors. This means that you cannot yet accept cryptocurrency payments on your Shopify store.

So why would you want to start accepting cryptocurrency payments on your Shopify store? There are a few reasons:

  • It’s still early days for cryptocurrency
    While cryptocurrency is still in its early days, it’s growing quickly. More and more people are using it as a form of payment and there’s a good chance that trend will continue. By accepting cryptocurrency payments on your Shopify store now, you’re getting in on the ground floor and positioning yourself to take advantage of this growing trend.
  • Cryptocurrency is borderless
    Another advantage of cryptocurrency is that it’s borderless. This means that anyone in the world can send you a payment without having to go through a bank or other financial institution. This makes it ideal for businesses that sell internationally.

The bottom line:

Shopify now supports payments in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and other major cryptocurrencies. This means that if you have a Shopify store, you can now start accepting payments in cryptocurrency. There are a few advantages to doing this, including getting in on the ground floor of a growing trend and being able to take advantage of the borderless nature of cryptocurrency.
