In brief
What is a crypto payment gateway?
A crypto payment gateway is a service that lets a business accept cryptocurrency or stablecoin payments and receive settled value, usually converted to fiat. It handles the payment request, conversion, compliance checks and settlement, so the business gets clean funds without managing wallets or price volatility.
FAQ
Common questions
How is it different from a card processor?
It accepts crypto instead of (or alongside) cards, and can settle across borders without correspondent banking — but like a processor, the business receives reconciled, settled value.
Does the business hold crypto?
Not necessarily. With settlement to fiat or stablecoins, the business receives the amount it charged and carries no price exposure.
