VERIFIED Crypto Checkout

VERIFIED Crypto Checkout is WooCommerce-native card-to-crypto routing and settlement infrastructure. It connects WooCommerce orders to independent provider-hosted checkout pages and is designed to deliver settlement to a merchant-controlled wallet, with USDC on Polygon as the intended settlement route.

WooCommerce remains the system of record for the order. The hosted provider controls customer verification, payment-method availability, risk checks, transaction approval, conversion, and settlement execution. VERIFIED creates and tracks the checkout session, coordinates the order status, and provides reconciliation tools. VERIFIED does not process card data or custody merchant funds.

This model can provide a checkout continuity layer when traditional merchant-account underwriting is unavailable or unreliable. It is not a bypass, a guarantee of approval, or a way to avoid provider rules. Customer and transaction eligibility remain subject to each provider’s terms, KYC/AML controls, regional support, and applicable law.

How Card-to-Crypto Checkout Works

1. A customer selects VERIFIED at WooCommerce checkout or opens a payment link, invoice, renewal link, recovery link, or QR payment request.
2. WooCommerce creates or identifies the order and remains the merchant’s operational record.
3. VERIFIED creates a session and routes the customer to an independent hosted provider.
4. The provider handles any required identity verification, payment authentication, eligibility checks, and payment execution.
5. If approved, the provider converts the payment and sends settlement toward the wallet configured by the merchant.
6. VERIFIED validates the returned amount and available on-chain evidence. An order without sufficient settlement proof is held for review rather than made shippable.
7. Confirmed transaction details are written back to WooCommerce for order management and reconciliation.

Routing and Provider Availability

Auto-Routing selects from available provider options based on the upstream route. Merchants can also expose individual gateways. The codebase includes integrations for providers and payment methods such as Coinbase, Ramp Network, Transak, Revolut, Stripe, Banxa, Simplex, Robinhood, Binance, PayPal, Crypto.com, Klarna, iDEAL, Blockchain.com, Particle, Interac, and UPI.

Provider availability is dynamic. Supported countries, payment methods, minimums, KYC requirements, fees, limits, and approval decisions vary by provider and may change. The plugin identifies discontinued or impaired routes in wp-admin; merchants should keep at least one active route enabled and review provider notices before accepting live orders.

Operational Workflows

Use existing orders to send expiring Pay Now links or display in-person QR codes. Use WooCommerce > Request Payment for standalone links and branded invoices. Automated Recovery follows up on eligible first-time abandoned sessions with merchant-controlled timing, incentives, backup providers, and reporting. Supported subscription plugins use scheduled, customer-authorized renewal links instead of silent stored-card rebilling.

Settlement, Fees, and Risk

The intended settlement route is USDC on Polygon to the merchant’s configured wallet. Some upstream flows may return another supported asset or network outcome; the plugin’s settlement verifier evaluates the actual on-chain result and either completes the order when adequately proven or holds it for merchant review. Merchants must verify wallet compatibility and protect their private keys.
