What’s happening

Helio is launching a plug-in in partnership with WooCommerce / Automattic to be featured as ONE of just crypto payments plug-ins for WooCommerce’s leading Wordpress e-commerce suite. We are ecstatic to be moving ahead here, and the sky is truly the limit in terms of distribution opportunities the WooCommerce platform / ecosystem can provide, and we look forward to working with the many many Wordpress entrepreneurs and users out there!

“Helio’s skillful integration of NFT sales & token-gating alongside crypto payments on multiple blockchains could be instrumental in helping Woo merchants leverage the crypto opportunity”

  • Dave Lochie, Web3 Lead at Automattic

Why it’s important

Helio continues to expand its distribution, reach, and means of merchants integrating its powerful suite of crypto payments tools & features. To-date, Helio has been usable via our no-code consumer checkout pages on hel.io and via our developer-friendly React-based embedded checkout modals. Now, merchants can discover and interact with Helio in a whole new way! — with a fully integrated plug-in experience in WooCommerce, who boast 3.3mm users globally!

Community alignment

We find this partnership particularly exciting, given the ethos alignment between the crypto/web3 and Wordpress communities. Wordpress & Woocommerce offer fully open-source experiences where everyone & anyone can plug-in and enjoy the benefits of the community bases, toolsets, and digital ways of life. This is in direct alignment with crypto/web3, which has deep roots in open-source, with, at a high-level, a goal of bringing full ownership & autonomy of assets back to individuals, and enabling frictionless, peer-to-peer asset & monetary exchange.
