💰 SPECIAL OFFER: 1% transaction fee locked in FOREVER for first 20 merchants

The Crypto Commerce Opportunity

$9.7 trillion in crypto changes hands monthly, but only 0.003% is ecommerce. Compare that to traditional finance where 0.4% is ecommerce – that’s 130x more adoption.

Why the gap? Crypto holders want to spend, but lack buyer protection. This plugin solves that problem with smart contract escrow, letting you tap into trillions in purchasing power that competitors ignore.

What Makes This Different

Eliminate Chargeback Fraud While Keeping Buyer Confidence:
Traditional processors: You face chargeback fraud ($15-100 per incident) and arbitrary account freezes.
USDC Payments: Crypto payments are final, but escrow protection gives buyers confidence. Fair automated dispute negotiation replaces chargebacks. Zero fees for unlimited refunds.

True Cost Savings:
– 1% flat fee (30¢ minimum) – locked forever for first 20 merchants
– Zero gas fees – we cover all blockchain transaction costs
– No FIAT exchange fees – keep more of what you earn
– Unlimited free refunds – no refund fees, no chargeback limits, no penalties
– Compare: Traditional processors charge 2.9% + 30¢ + refund fees + chargeback fees

Example on $100 order:
Traditional: $3.20 + potential $15-100 chargeback = $3.20-$103.20
USDC Payments: $1.00 (no chargebacks possible)

Blockchain-Enforced Security:
Smart contract code is immutable and publicly verifiable. It restricts beneficiaries to exactly two addresses: yours (seller) and buyer’s (for refunds only). No one else – not even us – can access those funds. This is enforced by the blockchain itself, not by trust.

Speed & Privacy:
– 3 minutes to install and configure
– 3 minutes for buyers to complete checkout (2 clicks to pay)
– No KYC for customers – they can remain anonymous
– No KYB for merchants – self-setup in 3 minutes
– You own your account – true peer-to-peer, no intermediary

Key Features

  • 1% Transaction Fee Forever – First 20 merchants get lifetime 1% rate (covers gas fees)
  • Smart Contract Escrow – Immutable code ensures funds only go to seller or buyer (refunds)
  • Automated Dispute Negotiation – Fair resolution with messaging and refund proposals
  • Unlimited Free Refunds – No refund fees, no chargeback limits, no penalties
  • True Peer-to-Peer – No intermediary can access funds, direct merchant-to-buyer contracts
  • Privacy First – No KYC/KYB required, both parties can remain anonymous
  • 2-Click Payments – Lightning-fast checkout (3 min total transaction time)
  • Seamless Integration – Works with existing WooCommerce checkout flow
  • Mobile-Friendly – Responsive payment interface on all devices
  • Real-time Updates – Automatic order status updates via webhooks
  • Admin Dashboard – Complete visibility into payment contracts and statuses

How It Works

  1. Customer Checkout – Customer selects USDC payment at checkout
  2. Escrow Creation – Smart contract creates secure escrow holding funds
  3. Order Fulfillment – You ship order and provide tracking
  4. Automatic Payment – Funds release to you at payout date/time unless dispute raised
  5. Dispute Protection – If issues arise, automated negotiation handles fair resolution

No chargebacks. No fraud. No refund limits. Just secure, low-fee payments.

How Escrow Protection Works

When a customer pays, funds lock in a smart contract (not sent directly to you). You set a payout date/time (e.g., 14 days after purchase).

If everything goes smoothly: Funds automatically release to you at payout date.

If there’s a problem: Customer raises a dispute before payout, freezing funds until both parties negotiate refund percentage (0-100%) through automated system. Both send messages and proposals. When you agree, funds distribute accordingly. No fees, no limits.

If customer is unresponsive: After timeout period (default 72 hours), you can claim the funds.

Unlike traditional processors where the company can freeze or reverse payments, these smart contracts are peer-to-peer – only you and your customer control the outcome.

What is USDC?

USDC (USD Coin) is a stablecoin where 1 USDC = $1 USD. Each token is backed by real US dollars in reserve, making it stable for commerce. Unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum, USDC doesn’t fluctuate – it’s digital dollars on the blockchain.

SSS

Who is this plugin for?

WooCommerce merchants who want to accept cryptocurrency payments and are comfortable with basic crypto concepts (or willing to learn in 2 minutes). If you want lower fees, zero chargebacks, and global payments, this is for you.

Why should I care about crypto payments?

$9.7T in crypto changes hands monthly, but only 0.003% is ecommerce (vs 0.4% for traditional). There’s a massive untapped market of crypto holders looking for places to spend with buyer protection. You can be early to this opportunity.

How is this different from accepting crypto directly?

Direct crypto payments scare buyers – no protection if merchant doesn’t ship. Our escrow gives buyers confidence while protecting you from fraud. Best of both worlds: crypto’s low fees + traditional payment protection.

Can someone else access the escrowed funds?

No. Smart contract code is immutable and restricts beneficiaries to exactly two addresses: yours (seller) and buyer’s (for refunds). Not even we can access funds. Blockchain-enforced, not trust-based.

Do my customers need crypto wallets?

Customers can use existing Web3 wallets (MetaMask, etc.) or create one instantly via email/social login. Authentication can even be zero-click with certain wallets.

Is this really anonymous?

Yes. Merchants need no KYB verification. Customers need no KYC. Both can remain completely anonymous. Blockchain transactions are public, but wallet addresses don’t contain personal info.

What are the fees?

1% per transaction (30¢ minimum). First 20 merchants get this rate locked in forever. Covers all gas fees. No refund fees, no chargeback fees, no monthly fees.

Are there refund limits?

No. Issue as many refunds as needed at zero cost. Traditional processors penalize high refund rates – we don’t care. Automated negotiation makes fair refunds easy.

What happens during a dispute?

Funds freeze in escrow. Both parties send messages and propose refund percentages (0-100%). When both agree, funds distribute. No fees. If no agreement after a week, escalate to disputes@conduit-ucpi.com.

Is this secure?

Yes. Audited smart contracts on Base blockchain. Immutable code ensures only you and customer can access funds. All transactions cryptographically secured and publicly verifiable.

Can I convert USDC to regular money?

Yes. Use Conduit UCPI wallet management to transfer USDC to exchanges (Coinbase, Kraken) for fiat conversion. No FIAT exchange fees within the plugin.

What if the payment service goes down?

Plugin shows automatic fallback instructions for customers to send USDC directly to your wallet with transaction hash for manual verification. Your funds are always accessible on the blockchain.

What countries can use this?

Available globally wherever crypto is legal. No geographic restrictions. True peer-to-peer means no intermediaries imposing regional limits.

How long does setup take?

3 minutes to install and configure plugin. 30 seconds to get wallet address if you don’t have one.

How fast are transactions?

Customers complete checkout in ~3 minutes total. Payment happens in just 2 clicks (after optional authentication).

Do I own my account?

Yes. True peer-to-peer. You control your wallet, you control your funds. No company can freeze your account or hold your money.
