Crypto-first checkout rows
“Pay with crypto — EcomTrade24” is the recommended EcomTrade24 option. The separate fiat fallback explains that the customer is buying crypto and that provider verification can apply.
WooCommerce crypto payments
Add crypto to WooCommerce without turning order management into manual blockchain work.
The EcomTrade24 Pay plugin makes direct crypto the recommended EcomTrade24 checkout route. Customers who already own crypto can pay from a wallet or exchange, while WooCommerce receives the session and payment status needed to update the order.
The plugin keeps a separate Card & local methods fallback for supported fiat-to-crypto purchase routes. Existing explicit settings and custom merchant labels are preserved so the crypto-first update does not unnecessarily break live stores.
Direct crypto is the primary payment rail. Optional card and local payment routes are third-party fiat-to-crypto purchase services; availability and identity verification depend on the provider and transaction.
Order automation
A successful gateway session can move the WooCommerce order through the configured payment lifecycle instead of asking a merchant to verify a wallet transfer manually.
Backward-aware migration
The plugin updates old default labels to the clearer crypto-first wording while leaving custom merchant labels alone. Explicit merchant method choices remain respected.
Store checkout
The payment hierarchy now matches the product strategy.
A store visitor should immediately understand the easiest EcomTrade24 path: pay with crypto already held in a wallet or exchange. That option is shown ahead of EcomTrade24’s card/local fallback instead of hiding crypto beneath conventional-looking methods.
The fallback remains useful for customers who do not own crypto, but its label and description clearly explain that it uses an independent fiat-to-crypto provider and may involve verification.
✓Pay with crypto — EcomTrade24
✓Card & local methods — EcomTrade24
✓Crypto gateway ordered above the fiat fallback
✓No forced change to unrelated WooCommerce gateways
Reliability
Avoid duplicate sessions and ambiguous order states.
Payment gateways fail operationally when repeated checkout clicks create unrelated sessions or when the store loses the relationship between its order and the hosted checkout. The EcomTrade24 plugin includes session reuse and order-level guards designed to keep one WooCommerce order connected to the intended gateway session.
Webhook handling and diagnostics give the merchant a place to investigate status instead of relying only on what the browser happened to display after a redirect.
✓Order/session reference stored in WooCommerce
✓Webhook endpoint support
✓Plugin-specific diagnostics and logs
✓Blocks and Classic checkout integration
Crypto UX
Do not make the customer scroll through hundreds of assets.
The hosted crypto page surfaces recommended and popular assets first, including USDC Polygon where available, then lets the customer search the full supported catalog by coin, ticker or network. This keeps broad asset support without turning a huge dropdown into a checkout obstacle.
Once a coin is selected, the page displays the exact amount, network, address, QR code, payment status and rate/estimate timing relevant to that session.
✓Quick-pick crypto cards
✓Search all supported assets
✓Coin and network displayed separately
✓Automatic payment-status refresh
Merchant fit
Best for stores that actually want crypto as a payment rail.
The strongest fit is a merchant who already accepts crypto manually, wants a crypto backup alongside conventional methods, or serves customers who already use stablecoins and major cryptocurrencies.
A merchant whose only goal is ordinary Visa/Mastercard acquiring without any customer crypto step should not be led to expect that from the product. EcomTrade24’s card/local routes are third-party crypto-purchase services and can have their own compliance requirements.
✓Good fit: existing BTC/USDT stores
✓Good fit: international crypto customers
✓Good fit: crypto backup payment method
✓Clear expectations for fiat-to-crypto fallback
Integration
Use the checkout without rebuilding your store.
FAQ
Questions merchants ask before switching.
Does the plugin work with WooCommerce Blocks?
Yes. The current plugin includes Blocks payment-method integrations as well as Classic Checkout support.
Will crypto be selected before EcomTrade24 card methods?
The crypto-first release orders EcomTrade24’s direct crypto gateway above EcomTrade24’s fiat-to-crypto fallback. It does not arbitrarily reorder unrelated third-party WooCommerce gateways.
Does updating overwrite my custom gateway title?
The migration is designed to replace known old default labels while preserving custom merchant titles and descriptions.
How does the customer choose a cryptocurrency?
Recommended crypto choices are shown first and the wider supported catalog is searchable by asset or network.
Can I still offer card/local methods?
Yes, when those third-party routes are available to the merchant and customer. The checkout clearly labels them as fiat-to-crypto purchase routes and warns that verification may be required.
Where can I get the plugin?
Merchants can download the current WooCommerce package from their EcomTrade24 merchant area or use the plugin update mechanism when an update is available.
