Payment flow

Get started

You don’t have to integrate Crypto and other payment methods individually. If you use our front-end products, Stripe automatically determines the most relevant payment methods to display. Go to the Stripe Dashboard and enable Crypto. To get started with one of our hosted UIs, follow a quickstart:

  • Checkout: Our prebuilt, hosted checkout page.
  • Elements: Our drop-in UI components.

Other payment products

The following Stripe products also let you add Crypto from the Dashboard:

  • Invoicing
  • Payment Links

To get started with accepting stablecoin payments, activate your Stripe account and request the Crypto payment method. After you’re approved, you’ll be ready to integrate stablecoin payments into your checkout process. Learn more about how to accept stablecoins.

Disputes

The risk of fraud or unrecognized payments is low because the customer must authenticate the payment with their bank. As a result, you won’t have disputes that turn into chargebacks, with funds withdrawn from your Stripe account.

Refunds

To issue a refund, follow the refund flow. For crypto payments, the refund goes back as stablecoins in the customer’s original wallet.

Billing

Use Stripe Billing to create crypto-supported invoices and subscriptions. Crypto invoices and subscriptions only support the send_invoice collection method.

Connect support

Connected accounts must directly enable Crypto in their payment method settings before they can accept crypto payments. You can’t enable crypto payments through the Accounts API or Capabilities API. The following Connect charge types, typically used by Connect platforms, are available to businesses using Pay with Crypto:

  • Destination charges
  • Separate charges and transfers
  • Direct charges
  • On behalf of
