At the property
Front desk, restaurant, bar and spa. Your team types the amount, the guest scans with their own phone, the receipt prints as it always has.
For hotels & resorts
Your guests have crypto. Your front desk can take it.
Accept crypto at check-out, the restaurant, the bar and the spa — and be paid out in your own currency, to your own bank, on the cycle you already use.

No crypto on your booksThe guest pays in crypto. You are paid in your own currency.
Every payment is converted as it happens and lands in your bank account as ordinary money, on your usual payout cycle. Your property never holds a crypto balance, never watches a price and never needs a wallet. If you would rather be settled in USDC, that is available too — but it is a choice, not the default.
Where it works
Two ways guests pay you.
One is live on your property today. The other arrives in your booking engine.
In the booking engine
Guests pay with crypto when they book online, so the room is settled before they arrive.
Where it fits
Four places it earns its keep.
Direct booking deposits
Take a deposit against a direct booking before the guest arrives, without sending them back to an OTA.
Front desk
Check-out, incidentals, late fees and upgrades, handled the same way as any other payment.
Restaurant & bar
One account covers the outlets, so covers paid in crypto settle alongside everything else.
Spa & experiences
Treatments, tours and add-ons sold on property — including to guests not staying with you.
No development needed
Payment links and QR codesWork from day one. Nothing to install, nothing for your IT supplier to schedule.
Available separately
API integrationFor your booking engine or PMS, when you want payments inside your own systems.
Two endings
The same guest. Two different Fridays.
The difference is not the guest, the room or the rate. It is whether your desk has an answer.
The guest asks. You cannot take it.
- A guest at check-out asks to pay in crypto.
- The desk has no way to accept it.
- They pay another way, or the charge is left unsettled.
The guest asks. You take the payment.
- The guest asks to pay in crypto at check-out.
- Your team enters the amount; the guest scans the QR on the terminal.
- The dashboard confirms it and your bank is paid in your own currency.
Balanced on purpose: we are not claiming every guest who asks walks away. Most will pay another way. What changes is that the request stops being a dead end.
Before you ask
Four quick answers.
Do we need new hardware?
Not for payment links or QR codes — those work with what you already have. A dedicated terminal for the desk is available separately.
How long does setup take?
Registration takes minutes. Verification is typically a short review, and payments switch on once your business is approved.
Do our staff need to know anything about crypto?
No. They type the amount on the terminal exactly as they would for a card, the guest scans the QR, and the rest happens on its own. There is nothing new to learn.
What about refunds?
Crypto payments do not reverse. You settle a refund with the guest by your usual means and record it in your system.
