High-Risk E-Commerce

The checkout Stripe won't give you.

Vape hardware, smoke-shop gear, kratom, nutra, adult, replica, 2A accessories - you sell a legal product worldwide, and payment processors still drop you, hold your money, and eat your margin with chargebacks. Offbank is a drop-in USDC checkout you paste into any store: customers pay in stablecoin, it settles to your wallet in under a second, 1% flat, and there's no processor left to freeze you.

Why traditional rails fail you

Banks, processors, and money movers weren't built for the friction your category deals with daily.

Stripe, PayPal & Shopify Payments ban your category

Vape, smoke accessories, kratom, nutra, CBD-adjacent, adult and 2A gear get flagged as prohibited. Accounts get shut off mid-season with your balance held for 90-180 days.

High-risk processors bleed your margin

The processors that will take you charge 5-15%, hold rolling reserves, and add per-transaction penalties. On thin-margin hardware that's the difference between profit and loss.

Chargebacks and 'friendly fraud' pile up

Card customers dispute weeks later - 'didn't recognize the charge.' You eat the product, the refund, and a fee, and your dispute ratio gets you deboarded.

Cross-border customers don't convert

Your customers are global; card acceptance and FX aren't. International cards decline constantly, and the ones that clear cost you 3-4% in cross-border fees.

How Offbank fixes it

Non-custodial USDC settlement on Solana. 1% flat. Cash out to USD via Sphere whenever you need it.

A checkout you paste into any store

One <script> tag adds an Offbank 'Pay with USDC' button to Shopify, WooCommerce, or a custom store - cart total in, wallet or QR out. No plugin approval, no category review, no processor onboarding.

No chargebacks, ever

On-chain payments are final on confirmation. A paid order can't be clawed back weeks later, so friendly fraud disappears and your dispute ratios stop being a liability.

B2B invoicing for wholesale

Run both sides of the business: the checkout takes retail orders, and USDC invoices bill your wholesale buyers. Email a payment link, they pay on-chain, and it reconciles itself - net-terms without the 90-day processor reserve or the wire fees.

Sell to anyone, anywhere

USDC clears from a customer in Berlin exactly like one in Denver - same speed, same 1% cost. No declined international cards, no FX spread eating the sale. Cash out to USD on your own schedule.

Common questions

Do my customers need a crypto wallet to check out?

No. They can pay from any wallet they already have (Phantom, Solflare, MetaMask, or a mobile wallet via QR). First-timers can be walked into a managed wallet - the crypto layer stays invisible at checkout.

How do I add it to my Shopify / WooCommerce store?

Drop in one script tag and call OffbankCheckout.open() with the cart total on your 'Pay' button - or use a payment link if you don't want to touch code. It renders an embedded checkout over your store; the order is confirmed on-chain before you fulfill.

What stops someone from tampering with the price?

For store checkouts you create a server-side checkout session (amount fixed on our server), and we verify the on-chain payment against it before firing your 'order paid' webhook. The buyer can't change what they owe.

Is Offbank a payment processor or money transmitter?

No. Offbank is non-custodial infrastructure - USDC moves wallet-to-wallet and we never hold it. You keep responsibility for your product's legality in each market; we give you the checkout, screening, and audit trail.
