Layer Crypto Checkout enables WooCommerce stores to accept cryptocurrency payments through MetaMask or WalletConnect. Payments are processed on Layer 2 networks for minimal transaction fees.
Key Features
- Multi-Network Support – Accept payments on Ethereum, Base, Optimism, and Arbitrum
- ETH & USDC Payments – Customers can pay with native ETH or USDC stablecoin
- Non-Custodial – Payments go directly to your wallet. We never hold your funds
- Low Fees – Layer 2 networks offer transaction fees under $0.01
- On-Chain Verification – Every payment is verified on blockchain before order completion
- Real-Time Conversion – Automatic fiat to crypto conversion at checkout
- Test Mode – Test on testnets before going live with real payments
How It Works
- Customer selects “Pay with Crypto” at checkout
- Customer connects their MetaMask or WalletConnect wallet
- Customer chooses network (Base, Optimism, Arbitrum, or Ethereum)
- Customer chooses payment method (ETH or USDC)
- Payment is sent directly to your wallet via smart contract
- Order is completed after on-chain verification

FAQ
-
What wallets are supported?
-
MetaMask (browser extension) and any WalletConnect-compatible wallet including Trust Wallet, Rainbow, Coinbase Wallet, and 300+ other wallets.
-
What currencies can I accept?
-
You can accept ETH (native Ethereum) and USDC (stablecoin pegged to USD) on all supported networks.
-
How do refunds work?
-
Crypto refunds must be processed manually by sending funds back to the customer’s wallet address, which is recorded in the order details.
-
Is there a minimum order amount?
-
There’s no minimum from the plugin side, but very small orders may not be practical due to gas fees on mainnet. Layer 2 networks have very low fees.
-
How is the exchange rate determined?
-
Exchange rates are fetched from CoinGecko API with a configurable price margin (default 2%) to account for volatility during transaction confirmation.
-
What happens if the transaction fails?
-
If a blockchain transaction fails, the customer will see an error message and can retry the payment. No order is created until payment is verified on-chain.
