MoonPay has launched MoonPay Commerce, a unified crypto payments platform built on technology from its acquisition of Helio, the company said in a press release Thursday. The rollout fully brings Helio’s checkout tools under the MoonPay brand, offering merchants, creators and developers a faster and simpler way to accept crypto payments globally, the firm said.
More than 6,000 businesses are already using the platform, including Shopify, The Solana Foundation, Ledger and CoinMarketCap. MoonPay Commerce will also power Solana Pay for Shopify, enabling instant, low-cost crypto payments at checkout. The platform lets merchants set up checkouts, subscriptions and deposits in minutes, with plug-and-play widgets, pay links and card-to-crypto conversion.
For developers, APIs and SDKs enable customized integrations, while built-in tools like affiliate tracking, wallet-splitting and gated memberships are designed to boost engagement. The platform supports major tokens like USDC, USDT, ETH, SOL and BTC, and offers low fees, no chargebacks and fiat settlement options. Existing Helio users will be transitioned automatically, with global access available now, the company said. MoonPay acquired payments startup Meso in September. Financial details of the acquisition were not disclosed.
