You’ve heard of crypto. You’ve heard of crypto investment. But have you considered crypto payments? Crypto has been buzzing in the headlines in recent months following landmark support for digital assets from the U.S. government, strong market performance and shifting regulatory clarity. This is certainly headline news, as it indicates growing confidence from national administrations and major financial institutions surrounding cryptocurrencies and crypto solutions. But it also suggests a growing awareness and interest in crypto assets from everyday users and consumers. As a merchant, accepting crypto payments is the next step in expanding your business to reach these consumers, who are increasingly eager to leverage their digital funds for real-world purchases. ForumPay allows you to transact with these segments directly and with zero volatility risk, as all funds are settled in your preferred fiat currency.
In this article, we offer a rundown of how ForumPay works, the benefits of accepting crypto payments, and some of ForumPay’s unique features that help enhance profitability and customer satisfaction.
Accept crypto payments with ForumPay
ForumPay makes it easy for merchants to accept crypto payments (online, in-store, and in-app) from any crypto wallet and over 450 different digital assets while still receiving settlement in fiat currency. Customers pay in crypto, but you get paid in dollars, euros, pounds, or your fiat of choice, with no volatility risk and no need to hold crypto. ForumPay handles the conversion in real time, locking in the best available exchange rate and settling funds directly to your bank account by the next business day.
Behind the scenes, ForumPay aggregates rates from multiple liquidity providers to ensure optimal pricing at the moment of checkout. We support recurring billing, real-time reporting, and seamless integrations with your existing payment infrastructure. We also prioritize security and compliance by partnering with KYC and AML institutions Chainalysis and Sum & Substance to carry out blockchain forensics and identity verification. The payment flexibility, operational control and regulatory confidence offered by our solution will help you serve a growing base of customers ready to leverage their crypto for real-world utility.
The first crypto payment gateway to enable in-app payments
ForumPay is the first crypto payment gateway to offer true in-app payment functionality, thereby allowing your customers to pay for goods, services and memberships in crypto without ever leaving your app. This breakthrough became possible after a pivotal 2025 U.S. court ruling forced Apple to allow alternative payment methods within iOS apps. We seized the opportunity to launch a seamless crypto-to-fiat checkout experience that supports any wallet, any major crypto, and settles to fiat in your bank account the next day.
This new and exclusive crypto payments feature also helps reduce cart abandonment, improve retention, and increase conversion by offering a frictionless, modern checkout experience. Paired with new tools like Subscription Plans for recurring billing, merchants can now offer flexible crypto payment options for monthly memberships, streaming services, and more. As consumer demand for crypto utility grows, these features will offer forward-thinking merchants an edge in an increasingly competitive digital market.
Impactful partnerships across multiple sectors
ForumPay currently serves merchants across numerous sectors, including hospitality, travel, real estate, luxury experiences, precious metals, and more. Our partners understand the growing need for modern payment options that respond to customer demand. For example, Knightsbridge Circle, “the world’s most exclusive concierge service”, has reported that many of their principals are looking to use their crypto funds as payment for luxury services. Similarly, Haute Jets, a premier jet charter brokerage, is now able to offer crypto payments to their clients to book private jet charters using any major cryptocurrency. This integration has increased the convenience of digital payments for Haute Jets clients, bolstered by the added transparency and privacy offered by on-chain transactions.
ForumPay partner Thor Metals Group, a precious metals investment broker, has also recognized the benefits of offering customers an alternative, secure, and private transaction experience. By accepting crypto payments, they have allowed their clients to pivot between investments without having to use a banking institution. In hospitality, ForumPay has integrated seamlessly with guest management and payment processor, HumanTouch System, to help hospitality companies cut queues and enhance the customer experience with a streamlined payment process. Inspired by guest reviews and feedback from the market, they chose to partner with ForumPay to enable fully-integrated crypto payments that enhance convenience while maintaining operational efficiency.
