Shopify crypto payments without a native CXPay app

There is no CXPay Shopify app

Be direct with customers: you cannot install CXPay as a built-in Shopify payment method like Shopify Payments. Plan around hosted links or manual order flows instead of expecting a one-click app store integration.

This page exists so you can evaluate honestly before investing in theme work.

Practical workflows merchants use

Create a payment link for a fixed USD total and send it when you create a draft order or custom invoice in Shopify admin.

Use CXPay invoices for B2B clients who do not checkout through your theme at all. Mark the Shopify order paid when payment.succeeded webhook fires on your backend.

Limitations to expect

Automatic theme checkout selection of crypto is not available without custom front-end work using the REST API and your own compliance review.

Supported networks and assets today: Ethereum (ETH, USDC, USDT, DAI); Base (ETH, USDC, DAI — USDT is not supported on Base); Arbitrum (ETH, USDC, USDT); Optimism (ETH, USDC, USDT, DAI); Polygon (MATIC, USDC, USDT, DAI); Tron (TRX, USDT TRC20); Solana (SOL, USDC, USDT); Bitcoin on-chain (BTC) and Bitcoin Lightning (BOLT11); and CXCASH (gas-free private payments via cxcash.app).

If you need native e-commerce integration

WooCommerce merchants can request the official CXPay gateway plugin via the contact form. That path provides tighter cart integration than Shopify allows today.

Fees are unchanged

CXPay charges 1% on standard checkout, 0.5% when the payer selects the CXCASH rail (private, gas-free payments on Aztec via cxcash.app), and a $0.30 minimum fee per payment. There is no setup fee, monthly fee, or application fee in the product. Ethereum and Bitcoin network fees are shown to the payer at cost on those rails.

The merchant dashboard and GET /reports/payments help you filter by status and time range. Download GET /exports/payments.csv when finance needs a spreadsheet-friendly view. Pair exports with webhook-driven order updates so internal systems stay aligned with on-chain settlement. Because CXPay does not hold balances, your wallet history and CXPay reports together form the reconciliation trail.

Operating links alongside Shopify

Server integrations should create payment intents with Idempotency-Key headers, persist the returned intent ID on your order row, and only mark paid after payment.succeeded verifies on your webhook handler. Test keys let you exercise the full lifecycle without touching live balances. WooCommerce merchants request the official plugin through the contact form and configure API base URL plus webhook secrets before going live.

Merchants who educate payers about exact amounts and quote expiry see fewer support tickets. Publish your accepted assets and networks on your store policy page and link to CXPay asset guides. When customers pay with ETH or BTC, remind them that network fees appear separately from the CXPay merchant fee. For audiences comfortable with Aztec, highlight CXCASH as a gas-free alternative through cxcash.app.

Configure webhook endpoints to receive signed POST requests when payment state changes. Parse the cxpay-signature header, reject stale timestamps outside the five-minute tolerance, and return quickly while processing asynchronously. Failed deliveries retry and may dead-letter; use dashboard delivery logs to diagnose URL typos, TLS issues, or application errors on your side.
