MyCryptoCheckout

What MyCryptoCheckout is

MyCryptoCheckout is a self-hosted cryptocurrency payment gateway for WooCommerce webshops. It also integrates with Easy Digital Downloads, sending payments from a customer directly to a wallet chosen by the merchant rather than through a middleman. Customers remain on the merchant’s site while completing checkout. The maker states that the gateway charges 0% transaction fees and supports 72 cryptocurrencies and tokens, with real-time exchange rates and currency conversions. Merchants can use any crypto wallet, with optional support for hierarchically deterministic wallets. One-click wallet buttons can prefill an address and amount through BIP 0021 URI format, with additional support for MetaMask and Waves Client.

A free WordPress donation widget can display selected currencies, a primary currency, icons or a dropdown, a QR code, and wallet address text. Security options include freezing creation of new administrators and disabling WordPress application passwords, file editors, and XML-RPC. The plugin can monitor wallet settings and email the administrator if wallet addresses are changed through the WordPress dashboard. The maker says the self-hosted install does not require KYC verification for donations and distributes products under GNU GPLv3 unless otherwise specified. The Free plan allows five transactions each month; the Yearly plan costs $79 a year and allows unlimited transactions.
