WooCommerce plugin

Add 1-click, crypto payments to your store
Helio integrates with WooCommerce for seamless crypto payments across Solana (and soon Polygon & Ethereum). Increase your sales by adding the Helio WooCommerce Plugin to any store and begin taking payments in USDC or other tokens in 5 minutes. The Helio Plugin co-exists with all known checkouts for a seamless crypto and fiat experience.
We also offer a custom integration into Shopify. See example here. Please contact us if you'd like to set up Helio payments in your Shopify store.
