FAQs
Wallets and payouts?
During onboarding you can specify any Solana wallet address such as a self-custody wallet like Phantom, Solflare, Ledger, or a custodial wallet such as a Coinbase or OKX account. You can change your payout wallet at any time by logging in to the Helio dashboard from the Merchant page. In addition, you're able to "auto-offramp" all your USDC earnings to your bank account via our partner Bridge.xyz - please contact Helio to configure these settings.
What currencies are supported?
We support 100s of cryptocurrencies and you can allow buyers to make purchases in their favourite token with our built-in swaps functionality (powered by Jupiter). By default, payments are settled in USDC and you can log in to the Helio dashboard from the Merchant page to change this to another currency of your choice.
Does Solana Pay or Helio custody funds?
No, Helio is a technology provider, not a MSB/VASP or money transmitter. We help merchants & creators accept fully decentralised payments (100% DeFi) using the blockchain. All transactions are direct, peer-to-peer payments from the buyer to the merchant. We never take custody of funds and you’ll receive payments instantly in your wallet.
Can my settlement wallet and my refund wallet be different?
Yes, they can be different! To process refunds, you can connect any self-custodial wallet such as Phantom to porthat you transact with. You will not be able to process refunds from a Coinbase account or other custodial wallet. If you are receiving funds to a Coinbase account, then you’ll just need to make sure that when you approve a refund, you are able to send the funds from a self-custodial wallet.
