Merchant Integration Guide
Businesses accepting cryptocurrency payments gain access to a growing market of crypto holders while reducing payment processing costs. This guide explains how to integrate CHEAPPAY merchant services into your business.
The merchant account setup process is straightforward. Complete business verification with required documentation, configure payment preferences and settlement options, integrate payment gateway using our API or plugins, and test the system with simulated transactions before going live.
CHEAPPAY offers multiple integration methods to suit different business types. E-commerce platforms can use pre-built plugins for Shopify, WooCommerce, and Magento. Custom websites can implement our REST API for flexible integration. Point-of-sale systems connect via our payment terminal app or hardware integration. Mobile apps integrate our SDK for in-app purchases.
The checkout experience rivals traditional payment processors. Customers see prices in their preferred currency, can pay with cryptocurrency or card details, receive instant transaction confirmation, and get automatic receipt generation. The process feels familiar while leveraging blockchain benefits.
Settlement options provide flexibility. Choose instant settlement in cryptocurrency for maximum efficiency, daily batch settlement in fiat currency for predictable accounting, or hybrid approach where you receive partial payment in crypto for long-term holding. You control settlement preferences with no minimum holding periods.
Transaction fees are significantly lower than traditional processors. CHEAPPAY charges a flat 1.5% per transaction with no monthly fees, no setup costs, no chargeback fees for crypto payments, and volume discounts for high-transaction businesses. Compare this to credit card processors charging 2.9% plus fixed fees plus potential chargebacks.
The merchant dashboard provides comprehensive analytics. Monitor real-time transaction data, track revenue across payment methods, analyze customer payment preferences, export data for accounting systems, and generate tax documentation automatically.
Chargeback protection is a major advantage of crypto payments. Traditional card transactions face chargeback risks where customers dispute charges months later. Cryptocurrency transactions are final and irreversible, eliminating this fraud vector and associated costs.
Multi-currency support means accepting payments in Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDC, USDT, and numerous other cryptocurrencies. Customers pay with their preferred crypto while you receive settlement in your chosen currency. This flexibility increases customer satisfaction and conversion rates.
Regulatory compliance is handled by CHEAPPAY. We maintain proper licensing, implement required transaction monitoring, provide necessary tax reporting, and ensure adherence to regional regulations. Merchants focus on business rather than compliance complexity.
Customer support training helps your team assist customers with crypto payments. We provide training materials, troubleshooting guides, and customer-facing documentation. Our support team also directly assists your customers when needed.
Advanced features include subscription billing for recurring payments, invoice generation with crypto payment options, partial payment support for high-value items, and multi-location management for business chains.
The business benefits extend beyond cost savings. Accessing cryptocurrency holders as customers, demonstrating innovation and tech-forward positioning, reducing international payment complexity, and future-proofing your payment infrastructure as crypto adoption grows.
Migration from existing processors happens smoothly. Run CHEAPPAY alongside current payment methods initially, gradually transition payment volume as confidence builds, maintain backup payment options during transition, and receive dedicated migration support from our team.
Real merchant case studies demonstrate success. A furniture retailer reduced payment costs by 40% annually, an online course platform expanded to international customers, a restaurant chain modernized their brand image, and a B2B software company simplified international invoicing.
Integration support is available throughout the process. Our technical documentation includes code examples in multiple languages, developer community for peer support, dedicated integration engineers for larger merchants, and sandbox environment for testing before launch.
