LTC
Accept Litecoin (LTC) payments on your website
Add Litecoin and receive LTC directly to your own wallet — fast confirmations, very low fees, and the same non-custodial model with no chargebacks.
Why accept Litecoin?
Litecoin was designed as "digital silver" to Bitcoin's gold: the same familiar, battle-tested model, but with faster blocks and dramatically lower fees. For merchants that makes it one of the most practical coins to accept — payments confirm in minutes and network fees are usually just a few cents, so it works well even for small purchases where Bitcoin's fees might feel heavy.
Litecoin has been around since 2011 and enjoys wide wallet and exchange support, so customers rarely have trouble sending it. With Crypto IPG it settles non-custodially straight to your wallet, exactly like Bitcoin.
