Setting up Crypto Payments through Nicky

Nicky enables secure crypto payments for individuals, freelancers, and businesses—allowing you to receive cryptocurrency payments directly into your wallet without intermediaries ever holding your funds.

By integrating Nicky with your eCommerce store, you can offer customers the option to pay using supported cryptocurrencies during checkout, while payments are routed straight to your connected wallet or exchange account.

   – If the Nicky payment gateway is available with your store currency then select Crypto Payment Through Nicky.
5. In the “Enable payment status” section, click on the toggle to enable the payment method.

At this stage, you’ll be asked to provide your Email ID and API key, which you’ll generate in the next step.
