Setting up Magnet Woocommerce Payment Gateway Plugin is simple and fast. With a Magnet Merchant account, fully synced wallet and a WooCommerce shop, you can be on your way to accepting cryptocurrency payments within minutes. Already existing stores can integrate the plugin seamlessly and add a growing market of cryptocurrency users to their customer base.
We do not require KYC (Know Your Customer) signup and there is no fees. Payments are made directly to your wallet address and this simply means no waiting for third party to release your funds.
