The world of cryptocurrencies grows, grows and does not stop growing. More and more companies want to have this payment method, the problem? That many times it is not easy to integrate them into an eCommerce and that there is still a great lack of knowledge about their operation.
These currencies are very volatile and it is still difficult to predict what their behavior will be, because they do not depend on any central bank. So great is its power of change that many people in recent months have managed through cryptocurrencies to obtain profits of up to 1k daily profit.
Some of the benefits that an eCommerce obtains when introducing this payment method are:
- Lower transaction fees.
- Fraud reduction. Although it is thought that cryptocurrencies may be unsafe, it is not true. Cryptocurrencies go hand in hand with technology blockchain, a practically incorruptible technological system and proof of hackers.
- They facilitate cross-border trade. Cryptocurrencies are used in all countries, they are a world currency, so if you introduce them in your eCommerce you don’t have to worry about introducing new local payments.
Although the benefits are interesting, we continue to face the difficulty of introducing this payment method in our eCommerce. However, there are already a wide variety of CMS that have decided to introduce it in their catalog to make things easy.
What are the CMS that allow you to enter cryptocurrencies in your eCommerce?
Shopify
Shopify in 2020 made the big leap into the world of cryptocurrencies when it began collaborating with four different cryptocurrency payment providers. Before, it already accepts payments with Bitcoin, but since last year it accepts payments with more than 300 cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum and Litecoin.
WooCommerce
It is difficult to know when WooCommerce started accepting cryptocurrencies, because they depend on external gateways. What we do know is that it currently has a large number of options to enter cryptocurrencies as payment in an eCommerce. Among them we can highlight:
- Blockonomics
- BTCPay
- Coinbase
- CoinPayments
BigCommerce
BigCommerce has recently allowed payments with cryptocurrencies, specifically since June when it partnered with a cryptocurrency payment provider to offer its more than 60,000 eCommerce this payment option. With this provider, payments with Bitcoin and Lightning Network wallets are accepted.
Magento
Something similar happens with Magento that with WooCommerce there are extensions to introduce cryptocurrencies among the payment methods, but there is not much information on the subject.
