Buying crypto should be simple, and we’re undertaking the mission.

First, Mercuryo rolled out the possibility to purchase cryptocurrencies with bank cards. Then we introduced our widget to the businesses that want to sell cryptocurrency. Now, we’re making things even easier.

Apple Pay and Google Pay payment methods for buying crypto are already available for anyone using smartphones via Mercuryo’s widget. This means that all the crypto wallets and exchanges that integrated our widget — including Trust Wallet, Trezor, and Coinpayments — now offer their users a new smooth way of buying coins. And if you want to join the club, we’re open to cooperation.

In case you’re running a crypto project or looking to add an option of buying crypto on your website, drop us a line. Cryptocurrency purchases via Mercuryo widget enable a smooth fiat-on-ramp flow and increase your retention rate. Thanks to Apple Pay and Google Pay, crypto purchases happen like magic — just hit the pay button, fill in some info, and you’re in. Your customers will surely appreciate it.

Wherever Apple Pay or Google Pay are accepted, you can use our gateway for buying and selling crypto. If unsure whether your country allows that, check out the list of areas that support Apple Pay and Google Pay.
