Cryptocurrency as a payment method...
Cryptocurrencies allow merchants and consumers to participate in the international marketplace without the
problems caused by other payment systems, especially payment cards. However, not all cryptocurrencies are
appropriate for commerce.
Volatility and a lack of regulation are common problems with most cryptocurrencies. This is why we accept USDC on
the Stellar network as our international payment method.
USDC is pegged 1:1 to the US Dollar, is regulated by the State of New York and is subject
to oversight by some of the most influential financial institutions in the United States. Stellar is an
open-source cryptocurrency network and is administered by a not-for-profit organization that is committed to keeping
transaction fees extremely low.
If you are not familiar with the actual payment process itself, we provide a
brief overview in the "Getting Started" section of the User's Manual.
