If you too would like to be part of the community that accepts Monero in exchange for goods and services online, we encourage you to explore these tools to learn how each of them works and how to implement them on your website.
To receive Monero online you need a web page/site. This is essential as it is the interface that describes the product or service you are making payments for and then a Monero API script or plugin is connected to your site to process the payments.
Several methods and platforms allow you to process Monero payments automatically. We will explain each one in detail below.
How can I accept Monero payments on my website?
1. Accept Monero payments through your wallet address
You can reduce the stress of avoiding paying processing fees by simply posting your Monero wallet address on your website. Anyone paying for a product or service can simply copy it and notify us after sending the payment from your Monero wallet. If there are multiple payments of the same amount, all you need is the transaction hash or payment ID to verify the payment via the Monero Blockchain Explorer.
2. Coin Payments
The coinpayments platform allows you to accept Monero and over 80 other cryptocurrencies on your website with a 0.50% fee. This is useful for people who run online stores or who provide some kind of service, such as freelancers. When you sign up to the platform, you can choose to accept only Monero coin or all currently supported coins. You can also convert Monero to other cryptocurrencies and vice versa. You are free to choose whether you want to keep your payments in the balance section of coinpayments or have them automatically sent to your specified wallet address. Coinpayments is available for major platforms such as WHMCS, WooCommerce, Opencart, Prestashop, Magento, OSCommerce, etc.
3. Coin Gate
The Coingate platform helps you process the Monero payments you receive and pay them in EUR, USD or Bitcoin. The registration process is simple and you can start receiving payments in minutes. Coingate is also available on POS for use in offline stores.
4. Monero WooCommerce Extension
It is available on GitHub, but depending on your knowledge of PHP, you may need the help of a PHP programmer to set it up. Download and setup guides are available at https://github.com/monero-integrations/monerowp. Once properly configured, you can start accepting Monero coins on your WooCommerce store.
5. Globy
The GloBee platform is an easy plugin to integrate for BitPay users, as it has plugins for more e-commerce platforms than the Coinpayments platform, allowing you to work with a variety of platforms.
Having a site that processes payments means you don't have to send your Monero address every time your customers want to pay you, it's more professional, and you can accept payments from anyone, anywhere in the world, with or without notice.
6. Paycassa
PayKassa is an online payment gateway for Monero and many other cryptocurrencies that helps users instantly accept XMR payments on their websites. It also allows users to make bulk payments through many payment systems. To date, there are over 2,214 sites using the platform's services.
The platform allows users to store, send and exchange cryptocurrencies safely and easily, with account access available 24/7 from any device, anywhere.
The PayKassa dashboard is easy for users to navigate and allows them to manage their Monero in one personal cabinet. To ensure maximum security, the platform ensures that all services work using SSL (HTTPS) connection, and sensitive information is encrypted using the best encryption algorithms.
7. Satoshi's Living Room (Australians only)
The platform acts as a payment intermediary. Any Monero payments made on the website/store are deposited into your bank account. This makes it very easy to receive payments for all the goods and services purchased on the site.
