We’re very excited to announce that we’ve added support for @0xPolygon, and @ethereum coming very soon.

We founded Helio with the vision to power merchant payments for the web3 economy, allowing a rapidly growing audience of crypto-native consumers to pay quickly & easily with just a single tap of their favourite crypto wallet (Phantom, MetaMask).

And by partnering closely with the Polygon team, we’ve now taken a critical step in that direction by offering the best merchant payment experience across multiple blockchains for E-commerce, NFT pre-sales, paywalling & subscription payments in USDC, ETH, SOL or any other token.

Merchants log-in with their favourite wallet across multiple blockchains

Over the last 6 months we’ve become the leading payments app with $10M in payments processed, 30k unique active wallets and ranked in the top 10 most popular apps on Solana. We made it easy for 1,000s of NFT projects, creators, SaaS apps & users in the Solana ecosystem to integrate crypto payments in their app with the Helio API and spin up no-code checkout pages with a few clicks

Unlike traditional payment solutions, Helio helps merchants transact with customers instantly & anywhere in the world, receive payments directly without middlemen and low fees, while freeing up critical developer resources so they can focus on their core business

Helio is your go-to solution for Ethereum, Polygon and Solana payments in a single app.

In the same way merchants don’t have three different systems to accept Visa, Mastercard or AMEX payments, we believe web3 needs a single payments platform to access what you need.

By delivering a safe and easy-to-use payments platform, we bring together three incredible ecosystems together into a single experience that aims to capitalise on the power of Web3 payments

We believe payments is the ultimate blockchain killer app that will compete with outdated payment networks. A crypto wallet is not only your bank account, it’s also your identity. That means merchants can eliminate sign-ups from any checkout flow, create more economic value with low transaction barriers, while consumers transact faster on the web and enjoy digital experiences more privately

We’re launching our public beta for Polygon today with Helio Pay Links and the Ethereum beta will follow over the coming weeks, before we’ll unify the full experience later this quarter. And we’ll add greater wallet support beyond MetaMask, fixed pricing, token swaps and more.
