Accept crypto payments with accurate pricing and currency conversion
Support online stores and marketplaces with real-time crypto prices, exchange rates, and historical market data for pricing, checkout, and transaction reporting.
E-commerce and marketplace platforms are increasingly accepting cryptocurrencies alongside traditional payment methods.
Whether selling physical products, digital goods, or services, these businesses need to display accurate prices, calculate payment amounts, and reconcile transactions across multiple currencies. As crypto adoption grows, pricing consistency becomes just as important as payment speed.
Accepting cryptocurrency introduces new pricing challenges.
Exchange rates change continuously, customers expect transparent payment amounts, and merchants need consistent valuations for reporting and reconciliation. As more cryptocurrencies and markets are supported, maintaining accurate pricing throughout the customer journey becomes increasingly difficult.
Use real-time market data and the Exchange Rates API to calculate product prices using current market values at checkout.
Display products in fiat while allowing customers to pay with supported cryptocurrencies using one consistent pricing methodology.
Continuously update market prices through REST APIs and WebSocket streams so payment amounts reflect changing market conditions.
Retrieve historical prices and exchange rates through Historical APIs and Flat Files to reproduce transaction values for accounting, refunds, and customer support.
Support additional cryptocurrencies and exchanges through one normalized market data platform instead of integrating new pricing sources for every asset.
