What is AshePay?
Learn what AshePay is, how it works, and what you need to get started.
AshePay is a WordPress plugin that adds a crypto payment gateway to your WooCommerce store. When a customer pays, the money goes directly from their wallet to yours - no payment processor sits in the middle, no funds are held, and no platform fee is ever charged.
In plain terms
- Your customer sends crypto from their wallet app
- AshePay detects the payment on the blockchain
- The WooCommerce order is automatically marked as paid
- The money is already in your wallet - nothing to withdraw
What you need to get started
- A WordPress site with WooCommerce installed and active
- PHP 7.4 or higher (PHP 8.x recommended)
- A wallet address for each blockchain you want to accept - MetaMask, Phantom, Trust Wallet, Ledger, or any standard wallet works
- HTTPS enabled on your site (required - browser wallets refuse to connect over HTTP)
No API keys, no account approvals, no KYC. AshePay uses the public Binance API for live prices - no registration required. Blockchain monitoring uses public RPC endpoints that ship with the plugin out of the box.
Free vs Pro
The free version is a fully working payment gateway with no expiry. The only difference is that you can accept payments on one blockchain at a time. AshePay Pro unlocks all 8 blockchains simultaneously so your customers can choose their preferred chain at checkout.
Not sure which plan is right for you? Start with the free version on whichever blockchain your customers are most likely to use - Ethereum and Solana are a good starting point for most stores. You can upgrade to Pro at any time.
