Description
Let customers pay for your downloads in crypto. The order completes and the file becomes available only when the whole amount has arrived; anything less holds the order until you look at it. Every order shows what was invoiced and what was paid, in the coin the customer used.
How it works
- At checkout the customer picks Cryptoway and is sent to the Cryptoway payment page.
- There they choose a coin and network and pay by QR code or address before the time runs out (60 minutes unless you change it).
- Cryptoway notifies your store. The plugin reads the invoice back from Cryptoway and checks the amount and currency.
- The order becomes Complete and the download link works — or the order goes On Hold with a note saying how much is missing.
Coins and networks
- USDT: Tron (TRC-20), Ethereum (ERC-20), BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20), Polygon, Arbitrum, The Open Network
- BTC: Bitcoin
- ETH: Ethereum (ERC-20), Arbitrum

What you get in the store
- A Cryptoway box on every order: payment status, invoice number, coin and network, invoiced and paid amounts, what is still owed or was overpaid, transaction hash and the deadline to pay. A button re-checks the payment with Cryptoway.
- One short order note per event, with amounts in the customer’s coin: invoiced, paid, remaining or overpaid.
- A Cryptoway menu with statistics for any period — turnover, payments, conversion, average order, a chart, outcomes and coins — and CSV export.
- The payment method’s name and description per language.
- A status check every 10 minutes for payments whose notification did not arrive, and a check at the deadline.
- No ads, no upsell notices, no tracking.
Set in your Cryptoway project
These live on the project’s Settings tab in your Cryptoway account; nothing changes in the store.
- Fees and markup: who pays the Cryptoway fee (0 means you, 100 the customer) and a markup or a discount. With a markup or the fee on the customer, the invoice asks for more than the order total, and the store accepts it.
- Checkout branding and layout: your colour, logo and theme on the payment page, as one card or two columns.
- Auto-convert on deposit: incoming coins are converted to the currency you pick.
Fees and requirements
Cryptoway takes a percentage of each successful payment, with no setup fee and no monthly minimum. Rates are on the pricing page.
- A Cryptoway account with an active project. Create an account.
- Easy Digital Downloads 3.0 or later, on a site reachable from the internet.
- One project per store: Cryptoway ties a project’s keys to the IP address of the server that first uses them.

Installation
- In Plugins Add New Plugin, search for “Cryptoway”, install and activate it. Easy Digital Downloads must be active.
- In your Cryptoway account open Projects your project API keys.
- In Downloads Settings Payments Cryptoway paste the Project ID and Secret key and save. The callback key that verifies payment notifications is fetched automatically.
- On the General tab of Payments, tick Cryptoway under Active Gateways. The box stays greyed out until the keys are saved.
- Change Time to pay if 60 minutes does not suit you (15 to 1440 minutes).
- Buy one of your own downloads for a small amount and check that the order becomes Complete with a Cryptoway note.
FAQ
-
What if the customer pays less, more, or late?
-
- Less: the order goes On Hold with a note such as “invoiced 12.17 USDT (TRC20), paid 10.00, remaining 2.17. The order is waiting for the rest.” If the rest arrives in time, the order completes.
- More: the order completes. From 1% over the invoice, the note shows the overpaid amount to return from your Cryptoway account.
- Nothing within Time to pay: the order is marked Abandoned.
- Late, after the time ran out: the order goes On Hold with the amounts and “The money is with Cryptoway — settle it manually”. No file is released until you decide.
-
Who pays the network fee?
-
The customer’s wallet adds it on top. A customer paying from an exchange that deducts its withdrawal fee sends less, and the order goes On Hold as a short payment.
-
Can I test without real money?
-
No. Cryptoway has no test environment, and EDD’s Test Mode does not change how the gateway works: every order creates a real invoice. Make one real payment a little above the coin’s minimum deposit (for example 5 USDT) from your own wallet.
-
How do I refund a payment?
-
From your Cryptoway account, as a new transfer to an address the customer gives you. The plugin does not send refunds; mark the order as refunded in EDD yourself.
-
Does it work with subscriptions?
-
No. Orders from EDD Recurring Payments are not supported: a crypto transfer cannot be charged again automatically.
-
An order did not update after payment. What can I check?
-
- Payment notifications arrive at
https://your-domain/index.php?edd-listener=cryptoway. The address is sent with each invoice and must be reachable from the internet. - Open the order and press “Check payment status” in the Cryptoway box. If the check fails, the order note says why.
- The 10-minute status check runs on WP-Cron. Each Cryptoway notification also starts it, but on a site with very few visitors a server cron job calling
wp-cron.phpis more reliable. - Logs are in Downloads Tools Debug Log. Errors and payment events are always written there; with EDD’s Debug Mode on, the full exchange with Cryptoway is added.
- Payment notifications arrive at
-
Where are my keys, and what is sent to Cryptoway?
-
The keys are stored with the other EDD settings. The Secret key only signs requests: it is never sent, shown again or logged.
The plugin relies on the Cryptoway payment service (API: https://api.cryptoway.com) and makes no requests until the keys are saved:
- At checkout: the order total, currency, order number and reference, store name, payment deadline, and the notification and return addresses, to create the invoice.
- Every 10 minutes while a payment is unresolved, at the payment deadline, on payment notifications and on “Check payment status”: a request for that invoice’s status. Cryptoway sends payment notifications to your site.
- When you save the settings, and again while the callback key is missing: a request for the project’s callback key.
Each request carries the Project ID, a timestamp, a signature and a User-Agent with the plugin version and your site address. No customer name, email or billing address is sent.
