Crypto payments are only supported for US-based Stripe accounts and are subject to review and approval by Stripe.
This feature requires Stripe Connect+ to be enabled as your payment processor and activated within product settings.

What You’ll Need
- A US-based Stripe account with Stripe Connect+ enabled
- Approval from Stripe to activate crypto support
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 system. This ensures security, compliance, and a seamless checkout experience.
Supported Wallets include::
- MetaMask
- Phantom
- Coinbase Wallet
- WalletConnect
Customers complete checkout using their crypto wallet, and Stripe instantly converts the payment to USD and deposits it into your account.
As the vendor, you never handle crypto directly, so there’s no need to manage wallets or conversions on your own.
