How Does the Tothemoon Widget Work?
Tothemoon_Exchange2 min read·Just now--
Accepting crypto used to mean building a payment stack from scratch: wallet setup, supported networks, conversions, and reconciliation. The Tothemoon widget simplifies that process. It gives merchants an embeddable checkout component for crypto payments, so they can add crypto acceptance without building the full payment stack themselves.
This short overview explains what the Tothemoon widget is, how the payment flow works, and where it can be useful.
What Is the Tothemoon Widget
The Tothemoon widget is an embeddable crypto payment component for websites and apps. Companies can easily integrate it into their checkout page, allowing customers to pay in cryptocurrency without leaving the site. Behind the widget sits the full Tothemoon platform, which handles wallets, on-chain monitoring, and settlement. This lets businesses offer crypto as another payment option at checkout alongside traditional payment methods.
A live widget demo shows the end-to-end payment flow with simulated values, so teams can see exactly what their customers would experience before integrating.
How Tothemoon Widget Works
The Tothemoon widget flow is the same on every order:
- The merchant integrates the crypto widget. When the customer completes the purchase, they are redirected to the payment page.
- The customer chooses how to pay. The customer selects a cryptocurrency and network in the checkout widget.
- The customer sends the payment. The widget shows the amount and deposit address, and the customer pays from their wallet.
- Tothemoon tracks and settles the payment. Tothemoon tracks the transaction and updates the status once the payment is confirmed on-chain.
What Makes the Widget Useful
The widget helps simplify several parts of crypto payment acceptance:
- Simple checkout integration. Merchants can add crypto payments without building the full payment infrastructure from scratch.
- Customer-friendly payment flow. Customers choose the asset and network, see the payment details, and pay from their own wallet.
- No wallet management for merchants. The merchant does not need to store private keys or manually monitor blockchain transactions.
- Payment status updates. Tothemoon tracks the transaction and updates the merchant once the payment is confirmed.
- Flexible settlement options. Merchants can settle funds to their Tothemoon account in different cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, or fiat.
Who Can Use the Tothemoon Widget
The widget can be used by e-commerce platforms, marketplaces, gaming and iGaming businesses, and any company that wants to accept online payments through multiple payment methods.
In each case, the widget acts as the connective tissue between the customer’s wallet and the merchant’s existing order system.
