01
Minute 1

Sign up

Email, password, business name. That's it. No phone number, no government ID, no business documents.

  • Free forever for the first $5,000/month processed
  • No KYC
  • No manual review
02
Minute 1

Get your API keys instantly

On signup completion you receive two keys: a publishable key (safe to embed in client-side JS) and a secret key (server-side only, shown once).

  • pk_live_… for the embed widget
  • xmr_live_… (sk) for the REST API
  • Stored as a bcrypt hash on our side
03
Minute 2–4

Drop in the embed

One script tag on your site. The widget renders the catalog you configure in /products and handles the entire checkout, from coin selection to payment confirmation.

  • One <script> tag
  • Auto-binds buttons with data-xmrgate-pay
  • postMessage events back to your page on success
04
Minute 4–5

Test a payment

Hit your own checkout, pay with a small amount, watch the webhook fire. Then ship.

  • Live mode from day 1
  • Small test amounts are fine
  • Webhooks signed with HMAC-SHA256
05
Ongoing

Withdraw whenever

Set a payout wallet per coin in your dashboard. Trigger payouts manually or set an auto-payout threshold. We never move your funds without your explicit setting.

  • Self-custody architecture
  • No minimum balance
  • Withdrawal fees at network cost only

Why is it free?

We make money two ways. Above $5,000/month processed, we take a small percentage on the currencies we support — typically half of what NowPayments and CoinGate charge. And for high-volume merchants, we offer a dedicated white-label tier. Below the free threshold, most of our infrastructure costs are sunk in our nodes — adding another merchant is roughly zero marginal cost to us.
