Pay with the digital assets you already own

We accept a wide range of cryptocurrencies, giving you the flexibility to pay with the assets already in your wallet.

For customers who value financial privacy, we recommend Monero (XMR). Monero is designed with privacy as a core feature, helping keep transaction details confidential on its blockchain, unlike many other cryptocurrencies where transactions are publicly visible.

If you already own another cryptocurrency, you are welcome to use that instead. Simply choose the payment option that best suits your needs.

XMR

Privacy-first by design

Monero keeps transaction amounts, sender details, and receiver details confidential on-chain.
