SpotEx.trade has launched SpotEx Pay, a cryptocurrency payment platform for businesses, freelancers, creators and organizations. Merchants can apply through the Merchant section of their SpotEx account.
Why it matters
The platform lets merchants price products in 37 traditional currencies while accepting cryptocurrency from buyers, offering a route for crypto to be used in everyday commerce. Buyers can pay from their wallets without creating a SpotEx account.
SpotEx Pay charges merchants a 0.5% fee per payment with no setup, subscription or recurring service fees. Merchants can price products in 37 traditional currencies, including U.S. dollars, euros and British pounds, though the company has not disclosed adoption or transaction volumes.

The details
SpotEx Pay provides payment links, checkout buttons, donation boxes, invoicing, point-of-sale functionality and recurring subscriptions, with integrations for WooCommerce and WHMCS.

Market Landscape
SpotEx Pay follows the model of merchant crypto-checkout services such as Coinbase Commerce, bundling invoicing, point-of-sale and subscriptions with crypto acceptance. The launch extends the exchange's business from trading into merchant payment processing.
Merchants that sell online or through invoices can now accept crypto from buyers at a 0.5% per-payment fee with no monthly charges. Buyers can pay from their own crypto wallets without opening a SpotEx account.
The takeaway
Businesses weighing crypto payments can compare the 0.5% per-payment fee against their current card processing costs. Checking whether the 37 supported fiat currencies cover their pricing needs is a practical first step.
