How to accept Crypto as payment in your Magento 2 storefront
There are several ways to accept Crypto currencies as a form of payment in your Magento 2 storefront. The quickest and easiest way is to install a pre-made module to handle the payment. All of the Magento 2 modules have a similar first step when setting them up: Sign up for a service. This is a necessary step for any payment method in any e-commerce platform. After that, install the module then add a few configuration settings.
The difficult part is trying to decide which service to use based on the crypto that your store needs to accept. Bitcoin is the most mainstream but up and coming alt coins are becoming more popular every day.
I have compiled a small list of Magento 2 payment method modules that will fast-track your site to accepting crypto currencies.
I'll start with my personal favorite, Coinbase. If you don't have a Coinbase account as a crypto wallet, then you should consider signing up today!
