How WalletConnect Pay Helps Merchants Cut Payment Fees and Accept Crypto Easily

If you run a business, payments are one of those silent problems you don't notice until the losses start adding up.

Card fees alone sit around 2–3% per transaction. Then come chargebacks, settlement delays, and random deductions that are hard to trace but easy to feel at the end of the month.

Quick context for anyone new: WalletConnect Pay is the payment layer that lets merchants accept crypto without rebuilding their entire checkout flow.


While most conversations focus on consumers, the merchant side often gets overlooked.

Here's how merchants actually benefit:

You're tapping into a new customer base, people holding crypto/stablecoins who want to spend it but haven't had places to do it. It works with existing payment infrastructure. No new machines, no extensive staff training on blockchain.

The thing is, payments settle onchain. And you're:
• Reducing reliance on intermediaries
• Lowering exposure to chargebacks
• Speeding up fund transfers
• Making reconciliation cleaner because everything is trackable

Merchants keep more of what they earn instead of watching it disappear in fees.

Now that's not replacing the system. That's just becoming the better option!
