You built your WooCommerce store. You've got products, a checkout flow, and customers who want to pay in crypto. The question is: which payment gateway do you actually trust with your money?
Most crypto payment plugins for WooCommerce work the same way: they collect your customer's payment, hold it in their own wallet, and send you a payout — minus fees, minus a wait, minus any guarantee they won't freeze your account if something looks "suspicious." That's not crypto. That's a bank with extra steps.
This guide covers how to accept crypto payments on WooCommerce the non-custodial way — funds go directly from your customer's wallet to yours, on-chain, with no middleman holding anything.
