Accept Ethereum payments on WooCommerce

Take ETH from the second-largest crypto community, straight to your wallet.

Ethereum is the second-largest cryptocurrency and the network most of the crypto economy runs on. Its holders are active, on-chain users who transact every day. Accepting ETH on WooCommerce gives that audience a familiar, one-click way to pay — and the same EVM wallet you use for ETH also receives USDT and USDC.

For a WooCommerce store, accepting ETH is about reaching the people most comfortable paying on-chain. Ethereum users interact with wallets and dapps every day, so an ETH checkout feels native to them rather than a novelty. VelozaPay forwards each payment straight to your own Ethereum wallet — and because that wallet is a standard EVM address, the same one also receives USDT and USDC, so one setup covers your most-requested coins.

Why Ethereum

Why accept Ethereum on your store

A large, active audience

Ethereum holders use crypto constantly. They are comfortable paying on-chain, which makes ETH checkout convert well.

One wallet, many coins

ETH settles to a standard EVM (0x) address — the very same wallet also receives USDT and USDC on Ethereum and other EVM networks.

Non-custodial settlement

Every ETH payment is forwarded on-chain to your wallet. There is no VelozaPay account and no KYC step.

Payment gateway

How the VelozaPay Ethereum payment gateway works

When a customer selects Ethereum at checkout, VelozaPay opens a payment page that locks the ETH amount to your order total, generates a one-time payment address with a QR code, and watches the Ethereum mainnet for the transaction. Most wallets — MetaMask, Trust Wallet, hardware wallets — can pay it with a single scan or click.

Ethereum blocks are produced roughly every 12 seconds, so the payment is usually seen quickly. As soon as it confirms, the ETH is forwarded on-chain to the wallet address you saved in the plugin and a REST callback marks the WooCommerce order paid. No dashboard, no manual matching.

Fast block times

Ethereum produces a block about every 12 seconds, so ETH payments are confirmed and the order updated within moments.

One EVM wallet, three coins

The 0x address you use for ETH also receives USDT and USDC on Ethereum and other EVM chains — one wallet covers them all.

Direct on-chain settlement

Each ETH payment is forwarded straight to your wallet. VelozaPay holds no balance and runs no account.

How it works

Ethereum payments in three steps

2

At checkout the customer picks Ethereum, scans the QR and sends the payment.
3

The ETH settles on-chain to your wallet and the WooCommerce order is marked paid automatically.

Payments are made and settled on the Ethereum mainnet (ETH).

Pricing

What it costs to accept Ethereum

The VelozaPay plugin is free — no setup fee, no monthly subscription. You pay only a small flat percentage on a transaction when a customer pays, and because Ethereum payments settle on-chain there are no chargeback fees and no reversal risk.

Ethereum charges a gas fee for every transaction, and that fee is paid by the customer when they send the payment, not by you. Gas can rise when the network is busy; for smaller orders where that matters, you can point customers to lower-cost coins like Litecoin, or accept USDC on a cheaper EVM chain. Settlement to your wallet itself carries no payout fee.

Use cases

Stores that benefit most from Ethereum checkout

ETH checkout works for any store, but it is a natural fit where the audience is already on-chain.

Web3, NFT and crypto-native brands

Stores selling to an Ethereum-native audience meet customers where they already keep funds, which lifts conversion.

Higher-ticket orders

On a larger order the fixed gas fee is a tiny share of the total, so ETH is well suited to premium and high-value products.

International customers

Ethereum settles globally with no card-network borders, so overseas buyers pay without FX fees or declined cards.

Stores that also want stablecoins

Setting up ETH gives you an EVM wallet that immediately also accepts USDT and USDC — three coins from one configuration.

FAQ

Ethereum payments — questions

Who pays the Ethereum network fee?

The customer pays the network (gas) fee when they send the transaction. You can also enable an option that adds the estimated fee to the order total.

What wallet do I need for ETH?

Any EVM-compatible wallet address (it starts with 0x). The same address is reused for ETH and for USDT/USDC on EVM networks.

How fast is an Ethereum payment confirmed?

Ethereum blocks are produced about every 12 seconds, so ETH payments confirm quickly and the WooCommerce order updates automatically.

What does it cost to accept Ethereum?

The plugin is free with no monthly fees; VelozaPay takes only a small flat percentage when you are paid. The customer pays the Ethereum gas fee, as with any on-chain transfer.

Is gas too expensive for small ETH orders?

Gas is a fixed cost regardless of order size, so it weighs more on small orders. For low-value carts you can also offer a cheaper coin such as Litecoin, or accept USDC on a low-fee EVM chain.

Can the same wallet accept USDT and USDC?

Yes. Your Ethereum 0x address is a standard EVM wallet, so it also receives USDT and USDC on Ethereum and other EVM networks.

Do my customers need an account to pay with ETH?

No. They pay from their own Ethereum wallet on the payment page — there is no sign-up, no ID check and no account on either side.
