Accept Bitcoin and crypto payments directly into your own wallet. No middleman. No custody risk.
Blockonomics is a non-custodial crypto payment processor supporting Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and USDT. When a customer pays, the crypto goes directly into your wallet and stays under your control. We handle the technical layer: generating addresses, detecting payments, and notifying your store.
How does it work?
- For BTC and BCH, we use your wallet's xPub key to generate a unique payment address for every transaction. Payments go directly to your wallet.
- For USDT, payments go to the ERC-20 (Ethereum) wallet address you provide.
Never heard of an xPub? Don't worry. We guide you step-by-step when you set up your wallet.
Does Blockonomics ever hold my money?
Never. Payments go from your customer's wallet straight to yours, and Blockonomics has no access to them at any point.
Our service fee is billed separately at the end of each month. It is never deducted from your payments.
Can I trust Blockonomics?
Since 2015, merchants around the world have used Blockonomics to be their own bank. Our plugins are open source. And because we never hold your funds, there is no way for us to profit from hidden exchange-rate markups. Pricing is simple: your first 10 transactions are free, then a flat 1% fee.

What you'll need
Three things, and we guide you through each one:
- A Blockonomics account. Free to create, no identity verification required. Create your account.
- A crypto wallet. For BTC and BCH, a wallet that exposes an xPub key, like Ledger or Electrum. For USDT, any ERC-20 (Ethereum) wallet address.
- A store. Links your wallet to your website so you get notified when a payment arrives. You'll create it in your dashboard; the setup guide below walks you through it.
How do I start accepting payments?
Choose how you want to accept payments:
- Using WordPress/WooCommerce, WHMCS, or PrestaShop? Install the plugin and you're live. No coding needed.
- Building something custom? Full control via our REST API: create payments, receive callbacks, build your own flow.
Does Blockonomics require KYC?
No. Accounts are free to create and require no identity verification. Payments go directly to your own wallet, so there is nothing for us to hold or verify.
Is Blockonomics a wallet?
No. Blockonomics never stores your cryptocurrency. It is a payment processor that routes payments straight into a wallet you own and control — see What you'll need above for which wallets work.
