Introducing AdaPay Accept ADA Payments on Your WordPress Store

WordPress powers over 40% of all websites on the internet today, and WooCommerce turns millions of those sites into thriving online stores. If you’re running an online store, you know it is essential to offer your customers a seamless checkout experience. And if you want to play in the Web3 market, you also know how important it is to provide payment options that match the community’s needs.

Today, we’re excited to launch AdaPay: an open-source WordPress plugin that lets you accept payments in ADA, the native currency of the Cardano blockchain, directly on your WooCommerce store.

Why AdaPay? Despite Cardano’s growing popularity and global community, there is a gap in e-commerce tooling for the ecosystem. Most online stores rely on third-party intermediaries or custodial services to accept crypto - and support for ADA is often either missing, overly complicated, or expensive.

AdaPay changes that.

With AdaPay, store owners can now:

Accept direct ADA payments - no middlemen, no custodians. Seamlessly integrate with popular browser wallets like Nami, Eternl, and Flint. (any cip-30 wallet) Automatically calculate conversion rates with live pricing using CoinAPI and CoinMarketCap. Enjoy full control: payments are sent directly to your Cardano wallet address. How It Works Install the AdaPay plugin on your WordPress site. Configure your payment settings with your preferred wallet and API keys. Enable ADA as a payment option at checkout. Let customers pay with their browser wallet - fast, secure, and decentralized. How Is It Different? There are a few existing tools that allow websites to accept ADA, but most fall into one of the following categories:

If you’re a WordPress user, this is the tool you’ve been waiting for.

Built with Purpose AdaPay was developed here at 2 Lovelaces + Lido Nation. We are a mission-driven team focused on Cardano education, infrastructure, and global community building. The project to build AdaPay was proposed and voted on in Project Catalyst, Cardano’s decentralized, community-led ecosystem development experiment. Reviewers and voters alike helped make this tool a reality, and we want to say “THANKS” for your support!

Conclusion We believe the next wave of Cardano growth won’t just come from dev forums and GitHub - it will come from everyday people discovering how blockchain can serve their business, nonprofit, or creative work.

Built by the community, for the community - because the future [of payments] is for everyone!
