Kinesis Pay now supports 11 new digital assets

The Kinesis Pay payment gateway now supports 11 additional digital assets, alongside gold (KAU) and silver (KAG), enabling businesses to accept secure payments in leading cryptocurrencies and Kinesis’ native USD-backed stablecoin, Currency One USD (USD1).

Note: While most digital asset payments are typically processed in under 60 seconds, XDC, AVAX, DASH and DOGE may require additional processing time as we optimise these newer integrations.

Kinesis Pay offers clients diversified payment options at checkout, while opening merchants up to new audiences and fresh revenue streams. For businesses, this means tapping into a new audience of customers seeking to transact outside of the limitations of conventional finance.

As Kinesis Pay adoption accelerates, rising transactional volumes are set to support the generation of Kinesis yields, creating the opportunity for all users to benefit from increased velocity within the ecosystem.

The Kinesis Pay upgrade

Following the latest upgrade, Kinesis Pay offers a smoother checkout experience for customers. Shoppers can complete purchases in digital assets using a QR code via the Kinesis app or directly on the platform.

The fully revised order flow ensures merchants can track every transaction from the outset. Payment details are now securely stored within the WordPress installation, eliminating the possibility of lost orders if a browser window is closed prematurely, whilst the updated feature automatically syncs payments with orders. The update also features a refreshed frontend design, bringing consistency in style, colour, and functionality across the platform.

On the Kinesis Bullion store, Kinesis Pay enables customers to purchase bespoke bullion bars and rounds with precious metals or crypto. This practical, real-world use case demonstrates how Kinesis Pay can be adopted by businesses of any size and sector, anywhere in the world.

This next-generation Kinesis Pay WordPress plugin, scheduled for wider release, will allow merchants to easily integrate the payment feature into their websites.

Kinesis Pay is entering the next phase

Kinesis is allocating considerable resources to the ongoing development of Kinesis Pay, iteratively expanding its functionality and fine-tuning the product’s performance, with enhancements already underway.

The latest currency additions mark only the beginning of a wider expansion, with more integrations on the way to support an even broader range of digital assets. The latest Kinesis Pay update is designed to accommodate payments in digital currency, however, we’re still working to optimise processing speeds for the following additions: XDC, AVAX, DASH and DOGE.

While this update focuses on introducing greater diversity and a smoother, more intuitive purchasing experience, users and businesses can expect improved performance in future releases.

Kinesis Pay merchant exposure and integrations

Kinesis Pay merchants gain valuable exposure through their inclusion on the Kinesis Pay Merchant Map – accessible from the menu of the Kinesis platform – helping customers to easily find and connect with their local businesses already accepting gold, silver, and crypto payments. This visibility can drive traffic and online sales while also strengthening the network effect across the Kinesis community.

In the next phase, Kinesis Pay will also be introduced through a dedicated directory, where users can explore participating merchants. By joining, businesses will gain greater visibility and a unique opportunity to be discovered by value-aligned customers already engaged with precious metals and digital assets.

This expansion is a key part of Kinesis’ long-term vision to fully integrate Kinesis Pay merchants and directly connect them to Kinesis users via the Kinesis platform, all hosted within a single directory.

Participating Kinesis Pay merchants will be featured alongside Metalback-supported businesses globally, where users can easily discover businesses accepting precious metals and crypto payments while making everyday purchases.

Beyond increased visibility, Kinesis Pay merchants will have the opportunity to offer Metalback rewards and exclusive deals to their customers, further boosting their exposure and engagement within the Kinesis ecosystem.

Currency One stablecoin integration

Looking ahead, a suite of Kinesis 7 new native stablecoins – each backed by major global fiat currencies – will be integrated into Kinesis Pay alongside the already supported Currency One USD (USD1), broadening the feature’s appeal to businesses and customers who prefer to transact with the familiarity of fiat.
