DePay launched on Polygon

Polygon-based payments are now available to approved Shopify merchants, WordPress admins and existing custom integrators who are using DePay. The integration of the Polygon network unlocks an extremely fast option for cost-effective and carbon-neutral wallet-to-wallet P2P payments with any-to-any token conversion.

Polygon is the first sidechain with an immense user base which is officially integrated by DePay for payments in their Web3 payment protocol. Due to the attractiveness of Polygon's low transaction fees, the list of arguments in favor of using DePay's payment solutions is growing. For DePay, the integration of Polygon is important for adoption due to its rapidly growing developer and user community.

Since the inception of DePay’s Web3 payment protocol, there has only been one significant reduction in average transaction costs using DePay prior to Polygon launch: from currently about 20 USD per transaction (Ethereum network) to about 0.30 USD on the BNB Smart Chain. Payments on Polygon outperform even BSC payments by dimensions: Sub-1-cent transaction fees!

For Polygon, the integration opens up new target groups, as DePay can now be used by eligible Shopify merchants in addition to WordPress users who install DePay’s Web3 Donation plugin. In addition, DePay is already working on other high-reach partnerships and support for other ecommerce platforms such as WooCommerce.

"Obviously, L2 payments are sexy simply due to low transaction fees. What we find even more attractive about Polygon is that they have made the commitment and budget this year to ensure a carbon negative status of the network.", says Alexander Paul, DePay Co-Founder.
