# WalletConnect Pay for Ecommerce and Online Checkout

> Add crypto and stablecoin payments to your online checkout with a single API integration.

WalletConnect Pay enables you to add crypto and stablecoin payments to your online checkout with a single integration, offering a familiar, wallet-based experience for customers worldwide.

<Note>
  Before integrating, complete [merchant onboarding](/payments/merchant/onboarding) to obtain your API Key and Merchant ID.
</Note>

## How It Works

Your backend creates a payment via a single API call and redirects the buyer to the WalletConnect Pay checkout portal. The buyer connects their wallet, selects a payment option, and completes the transaction. After payment, the buyer is redirected back to your site and you verify the result server-side.

1. Your backend calls `POST /v1/merchant/payment` with the order amount and redirect URLs
2. You redirect the buyer to the checkout portal using the `gatewayUrl` from the response
3. The buyer connects their wallet, picks a token and network, and signs the transaction
4. The checkout portal redirects the buyer back to your `successUrl` or `errorUrl`
5. Your backend verifies the payment status via `GET /v1/merchant/payment/{id}/status`
