FAQs
Can I Accept Payments in All Cryptocurrencies?
You can accept payments in over 50 cryptocurrencies through the Crypto.com integration. However, availability may vary depending on your customer's app or wallet.
Are Multi-Seller (Collaboration) Orders Supported?
Currently, cryptocurrency payments are not supported for cart items containing collaborations. These orders must be processed through PayPal.
Why Is My Integration Not Working?
If your integration is not working, please double-check your API Publishable Key. Ensure that you are using the correct Publishable Key provided in your Crypto.com Merchant Dashboard.
Common Mistake: Users sometimes mistakenly enter strings like username$paystring.crypto.com, instead of the correct key format (e.g., pk_live_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX). Using the wrong key will prevent the integration from functioning properly.
If the issue persists, ensure that:
- You’ve entered the publishable key (not the test key).
- Your Crypto.com Pay account is verified.
- You’ve followed the integration steps in the "How to Integrate Crypto.com with Soundee" section.
