Non-custodial Bitcoin, Lightning, and Monero payment processing for Indigenous tobacco, cannabis, and gaming businesses. No chargebacks. No middlemen. No one can shut you down.
Built on proven, open infrastructure
If you sell tobacco, cannabis, or run gaming operations, you've heard it before.
Stripe, Square, and PayPal routinely freeze and close accounts for tobacco, cannabis, and gaming merchants without warning.
Fraudulent chargebacks cost merchants billions. You ship the product, they reverse the payment. You lose both.
Your revenue flows through institutions that don't serve your interests. Every transaction needs their permission.
PayMohawk gives you the tools to accept Bitcoin and Lightning payments with full sovereignty over your funds.
Your Bitcoin, your wallets, your keys. We never touch your funds. Payments go directly from your customer to your wallet.
Accept payments via Lightning Network for instant, near-zero-fee transactions. Settlement in seconds, not days.
Bitcoin transactions are final. No more fraudulent chargebacks, no disputes, no frozen funds. You ship it, you keep it.
Infrastructure hosted offshore under some of the strongest privacy laws in the world. No processor can shut you down. No bank can freeze your account.
WooCommerce plugin ready out of the box. Shopify, custom API, and hosted checkout pages. Live in minutes, not weeks.
Tobacco, cannabis, gaming — the verticals traditional processors reject. Zero chargebacks, instant settlement, no compliance gatekeepers second-guessing your business.
Hard money for sovereign commerce. Pick the rails that fit your business.
BTC
The original. Final settlement, censorship-resistant, accepted everywhere. Best for high-value transactions and merchant treasury.
BTC-LN
Bitcoin at point-of-sale speed. Instant confirmations, sub-cent fees. Ideal for in-store checkouts and small online purchases.
XMR
Maximum privacy. Untraceable, unlinkable, fungible by default. For merchants and customers who require true transactional confidentiality.
Additional rails (Litecoin, Liquid Bitcoin, stablecoins) available on request for Pro merchants.
Three steps to accepting Bitcoin at your store.
Sign up and we'll set up your merchant account. Choose your wallet type and configure your payment preferences.
Drop our WooCommerce plugin into your store, paste your API key, and you're connected. Works with any e-commerce platform.
Customers see a clean checkout page with a QR code. They pay via Bitcoin or Lightning. Funds arrive in your wallet instantly.
No hidden fees. No surprises. Way less than Stripe's 2.9%. See full comparison
