Coingate Comment: How does it work
At high levels, Coingate works like this:
A shopker uses Woocommerce to check out. During the checkout, they chose Coingate as their payment method. You can use Coingate as your only payment method, or you can use it as an option with more traditional payment methods such as credit cards and debit cards.
Then, the shopper will see a payment form that can choose their favorite cryptocurrencies from the list of more than 70 options. They will then see the exact amount of the wallet to be remitted and the cryptocurrency they want to send.
Once they send payments and confirm the network, the order status will be automatically updated in Woocommerce, and you will also see the order in your Coingate account. Customers can also track their payment in real time, from the first detection to actual confirmation.
From there, you can choose to use a single cryptocurrency (, for example, all Bitcoin payment
) or a single legal currency (such as US dollar or euro) Receive funds.
This is one of the most significant differences -customers can use any of more than 70 cryptocurrencies for remittances, but you can use your favorite currency to receive everything without processing tracking 70 70 A variety of different currencies.
In terms of conversion rate, you can get the real -time exchange rate of all transactions. I will discuss the pricing more in detail later, but the basic idea is that Coingate only charges a fixed fee of 1% of its services and real -time conversion.
