Each criterion is scored 0–10 from what the provider publishes, then weighted. The bars show the shape of the card: where it is strong, where it is thin, and whether the total rests on one line or on all five.

Where it is strong

  • No per-transaction fee at all: the cost is a flat licence, which for a shop with steady volume is the cheapest structure in the index.
  • Payments go from the customer's wallet to the merchant's address with no intermediary, so there is no balance to freeze and nobody to verify.
  • More than a hundred assets across the main EVM chains and Bitcoin, which is broad for a plugin rather than a service.

Where it is weak

  • It is a WordPress plugin and nothing else: no fiat, no hosted checkout for other platforms, no dashboard beyond the site's own admin.
  • Payment detection depends on the plugin watching public chain data for the exact amount, which is a weaker guarantee than a provider running its own nodes and webhooks.

A licence, not a rate#

The pricing page lists a free licence capped at a handful of sales a month, a $79 annual licence for one site and a $199 lifetime licence. Every licence carries a 0% transaction fee, because there is no transaction to charge: the plugin generates an address and an amount, the customer pays it, and the plugin marks the order paid when it sees the transfer.

For a shop doing a few thousand dollars a month in crypto that is cheaper than any percentage in this index by a wide margin. For a shop doing three sales a year the free tier covers it. The structure only becomes expensive for a merchant running many sites, since the licence is per site.

How payment detection works, and why it matters#

Because nothing sits between customer and merchant, the plugin has to detect payment by watching public chain data for a transfer of the expected amount to the expected address. That works, and it is how the earliest crypto checkouts worked, but it is a different guarantee from a provider running its own infrastructure and pushing a signed webhook.

The practical consequences are the edge cases: a customer who rounds the amount, two customers paying the same address at once, a chain reorganisation. The underpayment entry describes the first, and a merchant should test it deliberately before going live rather than discovering it on a real order.

What it does not do#

There is no fiat settlement, no conversion, no hosted checkout for platforms other than WordPress, no point of sale, no invoicing outside an order and no white label. The card records each of those as a stated absence rather than as not disclosed, because the product page is clear about what it is.

Recurring billing is the one open question: WooCommerce has a subscriptions extension and the plugin's compatibility with it is not stated on the pages checked, so it is recorded as not disclosed.

Who this is for#

A WordPress shop whose owner already holds crypto and wants to accept it without a third party, at a cost that does not scale with sales. The absence of verification is not a feature aimed at anyone in particular; it is a consequence of there being no provider to do the verifying.

It is also for merchants who distrust custodial balances on principle. The custody risk is entirely removed because there is no custody, and the custody guide explains why that is worth more than most of the criteria this index scores.

Who should not choose this#

Anyone not on WordPress, and anyone who needs bank currency. Both are absolute rather than a matter of degree.

A high-volume shop that needs reliable, provider-guaranteed confirmation and a support desk to call when an order shows unpaid. The plugin's support is the plugin author's, and the card scores that line accordingly.

How this card scores where it does#

Cost and onboarding carry the highest scores in the index for the obvious reasons: no fee and no process. Coverage is mid-field on assets and low on everything else, since there is no settlement of any kind. Integrations are scored on exactly two platforms.

Support is the lowest line because there is no provider behind it. That is a fair description rather than a criticism, and a reader who weights custody above support can move the card a long way on the methodology page.

Where MyCryptoCheckout sits in the index#

The cheapest way to take crypto on a WordPress shop, at the cost of doing everything a provider would otherwise do for you. Every figure above was read from the pricing page and the plugin listing on 2026-09-06.

The comparison worth reading is MyCryptoCheckout against GoUrl: two WordPress-native options with different answers to who watches the chain and who pays for it.

How should you read this card?

The score of 6.7 comes from the five weighted criteria above, applied identically to every provider in the catalogue. If you weight the criteria differently, the methodology page re-ranks the whole index against your weights, and the order you get is as valid as this one.

The disclosure figure of 89% is a separate measurement and often the more useful one. It counts only the fields MyCryptoCheckout publishes itself, so it predicts how much of your evaluation will happen over email rather than from documentation. MyCryptoCheckout has no switching page yet, because one publishes only once three suitable replacements clear the data threshold. The head to head comparisons are the closest thing until then.

What MyCryptoCheckout does not disclose

Checked against the provider's own pages on 2026-09-06. MyCryptoCheckout does not publish what conversion costs, whether recurring billing is supported.

Ask for each of these in writing before signing. A provider that answers a factual question with positioning has told you something useful about the next two years.
