Crypto Payments (USDC)

Crypto payments are only supported for US-based Stripe accounts and are subject to review and approval by Stripe.

This feature requires a ThriveCart Pro+ license and Stripe Connect+ to be enabled as your payment processor and activated within product settings.

Future-proof your payments and access new markets

ThriveCart Pro+ via Stripe Connect+ now supports crypto payments via USDC or USDP, giving you a flexible, secure way to accept payments from crypto-savvy customers without any complex setup or wallet integrations on your end.

Crypto transactions are automatically converted into USD payouts at the time of purchase, with no change to your Stripe payout schedule. It’s the ultimate blend of innovation and ease—no technical knowledge required.

Businesses that accept crypto report up to 7% higher conversion rates, especially among forward-thinking, high-LTV buyers.

Unlock the most current currency with the least amount of friction.
USDC payments through Pro+ help you stand out, serve a broader audience, and stay on the cutting edge—no technical overhead required.

What You’ll Need

  • A US-based Stripe account with Stripe Connect+ enabled
  • Approval from Stripe to activate crypto support
  • A ThriveCart Pro+ license

Only one-time payments are currently supported (no subscriptions or trials). Supported tokens are USDC and USDP, with compatibility across the Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon networks.

How It Works for Customers

Crypto payments are processed via Stripe’s LINK wallet, which supports:

  1. MetaMask
  2. Phantom
  3. Coinbase Wallet
  4. WalletConnect

Customers complete checkout using their crypto wallet, and Stripe instantly converts the payment to USD and deposits it into your account.

You do not receive crypto directly, and there’s no need to manage wallets or conversions on your own.

Requesting Crypto Support & Enabling Payments

From your Stripe Connect+ dashboard, head over to your Settings > Payments area.

Click the tab ‘Payment methods‘.

Under the payment configurations area, look for the row for “ThriveCart configuration” and click on it.

On the next page, scroll down to the ‘Wallets‘ area, and locate the Crypto option. To the right will be either a button to ‘Request‘ or ‘Turn on‘. You may need to request access before you can turn on Crypto payments.

Stripe approval is required. If you don’t see the option, your account may not be eligible. ThriveCart cannot enable this for you—reach out to Stripe Support for questions about access.

Don’t see Crypto as an option?
Remember, this is by approval from Stripe and only available to eligible some US-based Stripe accounts.
