Adding crypto payments to Shopify is not adding a BTC or ETH icon. A cross-border store should verify country and merchant eligibility, wallet or provider, exchange rate, confirmations, refunds, fraud, tax, accounting, support, and volatility risk. Availability, eligibility, and regulation change; crypto is not universally suitable.
Test risk and order states
Record provider, currency, exchange source, expiry, confirmations, over- or under-payment, refunds, disputes, order states, and reconciliation. Product and checkout copy should explain price lock, fees, refund method, and support limits. Do not store unnecessary private keys or sensitive wallet data.
