Helio expands Shopify plugin with Solana Pay for different crypto transactions
Helio has announced an update to its Solana Pay plugin for Shopify, broadening the scope of accepted cryptocurrencies and introducing new merchant-focused features like NFT airdrops and automatic fiat currency conversions.
The update, revealed Thursday, takes advantage of the speed and security of blockchain to improve the e-commerce payment process.
With a transaction fee of 0.75%, Helio’s plugin is a cheaper option than typical credit card fees, which range from 1.5% to 3.5%.
The plugin now supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies, including major ones like Bitcoin and Ether, along with PayPal’s PYUSD and various memecoins.
Merchants have the added benefit of using Jupiter to automatically convert received cryptocurrencies into stablecoins to reduce risks associated with price volatility.
The plugin allows direct conversion between cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies, simplifying transactions for both merchants and customers.
