Accept Litecoin payments

• Payment link

  Ask for an exact amount of LTC and share a link or QR code. You don't need a website or an account, and the coins go to your own address. The person paying covers a 1.5% or 2% fee, depending on the coin they use, plus network and provider costs.

• Hosted checkout and API

  Create a payment from your server and send your customer to our checkout. You get signed webhooks, a test mode and code samples in curl, Node.js, PHP and Python.

  Read the API docs

• Plugins

  Add Litecoin to WooCommerce with our WordPress plugin, or to a XenForo forum with our add-on. Both use the same hosted checkout. For WHMCS, ask support for the module, which is waiting for approval on the WHMCS Marketplace.

  Set up WooCommerce

1. You create a payment with the price in your own currency, such as USD.
2. Your customer picks LTC at checkout and sees the exact amount and a one-time address.
3. They send it from any Litecoin wallet or exchange account.
4. We wait for 4 confirmations and run our payment checks, including sanctions and wallet screening.
5. The payment is added to your merchant balance, and your server gets a signed webhook.
6. You withdraw to your own wallet. It's instant once your address is set up: the payout starts as soon as you approve it, and the network then confirms it as usual. A new address can be used 24 hours after you add it. A first withdrawal of $500 or more to an address is reviewed by our team.

curl -s -X POST https://plaxswap.com/api/v1/payments \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer pxs_test_YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: order-1042" \
  -d '{
    "amount": "100",
    "currency": "USD",
    "receive": "ltc",
    "receiveMode": "selected",
    "orderId": "1042",
    "returnUrl": "https://shop.example/orders/1042/thanks"

The answer includes a checkoutUrl to send your customer to. Everything else is in the API docs.

Your customer sends about $101.50 in LTC plus the network fee, and about $100 in LTC reaches your merchant balance. When you withdraw, you pay our 0.3% fee and the network fee. Every cost is on the fees page.

• LTC isn't a stablecoin. Your balance stays in LTC, so its dollar value moves until you withdraw and sell it. The gateway checkout doesn't convert it for you.
• A Litecoin payment can't be reversed. Refunds after the coins reach your own wallet are yours to make.
• Your customer must send LTC on the Litecoin network to the address shown. A coin sent on the wrong network usually can't be recovered.
• Our merchant terms bar gambling, adult content and financial services unless you're licensed for them where you operate.
• Payments are closed in 15 countries under sanctions or that we treat as high risk. See the country list. The rules on accepting crypto and on tax depend on your country, so check them where you operate.
