About PayWithSolana
We're on a mission to make crypto payments as easy as tapping your card. Built in Germany, powered by Solana.
Our Mission
PayWithSolana bridges the gap between cryptocurrency and everyday retail. We believe that accepting crypto payments should be as simple as accepting cash — no technical expertise required, no complicated setup, no hidden fees.
Our NFC hardware dongle makes contactless crypto payments a reality at any checkout counter. Combined with our merchant dashboard, mobile app, and developer APIs, we provide a complete payment ecosystem for businesses of all sizes.
