How to Accept Crypto Payments on WHMCS

Accepting Payments on a Website: How Does It Work

Accepting crypto payments on a website is similar to fiat payments.

Suppose an item costs 100 EUR and Bitcoin's price is 25,000 EUR. A customer wants to buy the item for Bitcoin, adds it to a cart, and selects the Crypto Payment option during the payment process. An invoice is generated according to the current rate, so the customer should pay 0.004 BTC. Once the payment is made, you will receive 0.004 BTC.

In the SpectroCoin merchant account, you can enable the auto-convert feature that automatically converts the received funds into cryptocurrencies, fiat money or stablecoins of your choice. If you have enabled auto-conversion to EUR, 0.004 BTC will be converted to 100 EUR. After the 1% fee is charged, you will have 99 EUR.

If auto-conversion is disabled, you will be charged 1% on 0.004 BTC and have 0.00396 BTC.

You can also set up what cryptocurrencies and stablecoins you are willing to accept.
