accepting crypto payments

[mando-fr]

Hello community, is there's a way to accept crypto to pay in catalog?

Hi,

I'm pretty sure that the types of payments allowed depends on the payment gateway ( https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Catalog/What-payment-gateways-are-supported-in-Canvas-Cata... ) that you have set up with Catalog.  However, I do not know if any of the supported payment gateways accept cryptocurrency.

Hello @mando-fr 

I do see how this would be a useful payment option for many users. Right now it does not look like that is possible based on what I see on THIS guide. However, since the payment gateway is a paid service, it might be best to ask your CSM about that. 

I also think that this would make a great feature request! Can we have you submit this idea? HERE is a link to the ideas page for Canvas.

@mando-fr There is no way to use crypto currency with Catalog.

I’ve seen how features like these can make a huge difference in usability. A while back, I worked on a project where we needed a specific payment gateway integration for our platform, but it wasn’t available out of the box. Like you mentioned, reaching out to the CSM really helped, and they even suggested submitting a feature request.

Speaking of compliance, I learned how important it is to cover all the legal bases during that project. We consulted a https://blockchainlawyer.com/corporate-compliance/ to make sure we stayed on track with corporate compliance, especially since we were handling sensitive financial data.
