Shopify users from countries including UK, US, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Hong Kong and more can now begin to accept nine top digital currencies, namely BTC, ETH, BCH, BNB, BUSD, USDT, GUSD, LTC and ACH – the multifunctional utility token issued by Alchemy.

The hybrid payment system is the world’s first all-in-one payment gateway that can conduct both blockchain and fiat payments, including credit cards, Alipay, WeChat Pay, Hong Kong’s FPS and other mainstream fiat payment methods. Consumers shopping on Shopify’s partners using their PC browser can pay in digital currencies using any wallet of their choice. Shoppers on mobile apps or browsers will need to pay via partnered wallets of Alchemy.

The blockchain space has witnessed significant progression in development and adoption in recent years, including world-renowned brands announcing digital currency acceptance at their retail and online stores.

We’re truly excited to see how far this step will propel the cryptocurrency space forward!”
