Give crypto-savvy shoppers a new way to pay—while you keep your payouts in dollars.
Crypto is moving from “interesting” to expected—especially for brands selling to global, digitally native customers. But most merchants don’t want the complexity that can come with crypto: new wallets, new reconciliation workflows, new volatility risk, and a brand-new set of operational questions.
That’s why UltraCart’s partnership with PayPal is such a practical way to launch crypto. Instead of treating crypto like a separate payment stack, PayPal lets customers transact in crypto while you, the merchant, settle in USD—all within a familiar, trusted checkout experience.
The Crypto Advantage: customers pay crypto, you receive dollars
The biggest win for merchants is simple: you can add crypto to your eCommerce checkout without running your business in crypto. With PayPal, crypto becomes a customer-facing payment option—while your settlement stays in USD.
Here’s what that means in practice:
- Meet demand without volatility exposure. Your customer can choose crypto, but you don’t have to manage price swings or treasury strategies.
- No new custody workflows. You’re not taking custody of crypto or managing wallets; PayPal handles the crypto-to-fiat flow.
- A familiar experience for shoppers. Customers who already trust PayPal can check out with confidence—especially on mobile.
For modern ecommerce brands, this is the sweet spot: add a “future-friendly” payment method while keeping operations stable and predictable.
Borderless payments that outperform traditional methods
For many UltraCart merchants, the most exciting part of “Pay with Crypto” isn’t just offering crypto—it’s what crypto can do for cross-border conversion.
Traditional international card payments can introduce friction: additional fees, FX complexity, and a higher chance of declines. By contrast, PayPal positions Pay with Crypto as enabling seamless international transactions, near-instant settlement, and meaningful fee savings—helping merchants expand global commerce without the usual hurdles.
Why this matters for your storefront:
- Fewer barriers for global buyers. Customers can pay with crypto from supported wallets, which can help reduce the “can I even pay here?” moment that kills conversion.
- A smoother path to global scale. Crypto can be a compelling option for international shoppers who prefer it over cards—especially when paired with a responsive ecommerce checkout experience.
If you’re selling internationally (or want to), this is a strong way to introduce borderless payments while keeping your checkout simple and optimized.
How this shows up at checkout
From the customer’s perspective, the experience is straightforward:
- The shopper selects PayPal at checkout
- They choose Pay with Crypto (when available)
- They complete the payment in crypto
- You receive settlement in USD
Because this is integrated through PayPal, it fits neatly into an interactive eCommerce experience—especially for mobile-first shoppers who expect fast, familiar payment flows.
The bottom line: why now is a smart time to offer crypto
Crypto adoption isn’t just a headline anymore—it’s becoming part of how customers think about money, rewards, and purchases. As shoppers look for more flexibility, merchants who add modern payment options can stand out—and reduce the chance that checkout becomes a blocker.
With UltraCart + PayPal, you can roll out crypto as a payment option in a way that’s operationally sane:
You’re not rebuilding your payment stack.
You’re not taking on custody or crypto reconciliation complexity.
And you’re not changing how you run your business day-to-day—because settlement remains in USD.
For brands focused on advanced ecommerce and conversion, this is a practical upgrade: a modern, “meet customers where they are” feature that can complement your existing card and wallet mix—without adding friction to your checkout strategy.
