Ways to Accept Payments with CryptoCloud
API
The application program interface, or API, is the rules and functions by which different programs interact with each other. This tool is able to provide, among other things, the acceptance of online payments in cryptocurrency in the app or on the website..
A user only needs to get an authorization token using the section of adding a project in the CryptoCloud personal account. Invoice is created by sending a request using the token when the client proceeds to payment on the website. After payment CryptoCloud sends a notification to the address specified by the user (postback).
Detailed instructions on how to connect API are provided at the link.
CMS modules
To extend the capabilities of content management systems (CMS), you can use modules that have special functions. Modular architecture is traditional for modern web platforms, allowing you to connect only the options you need.
The modules offered by CryptoCloud simplify the connection of payment acceptance on the website. There are ready-made options for Tilda, GetCourse, Drupal, InSales, OpenCart, PrestaShop, WooCommerce, allowing you to set up integration with the website literally within minutes. Detailed instructions are provided for each plugin. The list of ready plugins for CMS expands constantly.
HTML widget
A simplified option for accepting payment in cryptocurrency is the installation of HTML code, thanks to which a block is created on the website that allows you to create an invoice for payment. The block can be realized in either a form or a button.
When clicking on the button, the client is redirected to the account page to make a payment. After payment, the merchant receives a notification of a successful transaction in Telegram, personal account, and e-mail. The disadvantage of this method compared to API integration is that the service does not send postback notification of transactions to your system.
Instructions on how to connect the HTML widget are available in your personal account.
Manual invoices
Manual invoices mean instantly created payment links with a limited invoice due time.
To create a manual invoice, a user only needs to go to the «Payments» section of the personal account and click on the «Create manual invoice» button. After that, it will be possible to select the project, specify the currency and the required amount of funds.
The sent invoice can be paid within a certain period of time, which is set by the user when the invoice is issued — from 3 to 24 hours. During this time, the price is fixed, which protects the parties from price fluctuations. It is also possible to send invoices automatically after a set period of time.
The statuses of all invoices are displayed in the personal account.
Permanent links
Another tool is gaining popularity among sellers — a permanent payment link, which has more versatility.
You can place the link on your website, embed it in a button or send it via messenger. This method is also suitable for accepting donations.
On the page for entering the payment amount there is a function to add your company logo, which can be uploaded in the project settings. This logo will also be displayed on the generated invoice page.
A unique link is generated for each project and is available in the project settings. In addition, the link can be converted into a QR code, which allows you to accept payments in offline mode. When scanning the QR code, the user will be redirected to a page to enter the payment amount.
Accepting Cryptocurrency Payments: Which Method is Better
The listed tools are aimed at different categories of sellers of goods and service providers. Large and medium-sized businesses will find it more convenient to accept payment in cryptocurrency on the website via a ready-made API, CMS module or HTML widget, while freelancers and service providers with a small turnover — manual invoices and permanent links.
