PrestaShop plugin for crypto payments

Businesses gain several advantages when adding cryptocurrency as a payment option:

• Transaction fees are often lower than those for PayPal or card payments.
• Crypto payments are final, helping to reduce chargeback risks compared to card payments.
• The product or service can be purchased by international customers.
• Funds arrive faster, as blockchain transfers do not depend on banks or business hours.
