EDD crypto payments
Sell downloads on Easy Digital Downloads and get paid in USDT, USDC or BTC — straight to your own wallet, verified on-chain. Install the free, open-source gateway; the buyer pays on a secure StableDeliver checkout, we verify the exact on-chain transfer, and EDD releases the downloadautomatically. Nothing else in your workflow changes. Non-custodial: we never hold your funds.
How it works
- 1. Install the free Easy Digital Downloads plugin from WordPress.org and enable the Pay with Crypto gateway.
- 2. In your StableDeliver dashboard add a wallet and pick your default receiving asset and network — if you hold wallets on more than one network and no default is set, checkout can't tell which one to charge in and will refuse to create the order.
- 3. Paste your StableDeliver API key into the plugin. Then add your site as a webhook endpoint in the dashboard and paste the signing secret back into the plugin — for EDD this step is manual, and payments stay pending until it's done. Your site must be on HTTPS at a publicly reachable address; we never deliver webhooks to plain HTTP or to a private address.
- 4. At checkout the buyer pays USDT / USDC / BTC on the hosted StableDeliver checkout. We verify the exact on-chain transfer.
- 5. On confirmation, EDD marks the payment complete and releases the download. Every webhook is signed (HMAC-SHA256) and checked against your order total, so a forged or stale one can never release a file.
