People don’t want third parties—they want crypto here and now

But we all know how it usually goes: a user downloads a wallet, tries to buy crypto, and suddenly gets redirected to unfamiliar pages with confusing payment steps. It may be secure, but it doesn’t feel that way.

At Mercuryo, we’re giving people a familiar and truly intuitive way they already trust. They use Apple Pay daily for shopping, transport, and food delivery. So instead of feeling confusing or intimidating, buying digital assets now feels simple and natural.

For platforms and wallets: lower drop-off rates and other positive outcomes

Native Apple Pay reduces churn during onboarding, which means more users actually complete their first purchase and stick around. 

Many of Mercuryo’s partners already use native Apple Pay, since it’s especially crucial for first-time crypto buyers. Even though the integration doesn’t remove identity verification, it significantly reduces friction at the most important moment—the purchase.

This also changes competitive positioning. In a market where dozens of wallets and platforms are competing for new users, features like this are changing the game.

Ultimately, mainstream crypto adoption depends on making crypto feel as easy and familiar as any other digital payment. And Mercuryo’s Apple Pay integration is doing exactly that.

How it works

  1. Select Mercuryo as a payment provider in your app
  2. Choose Apple Pay as a payment method
  3. Tap "Buy", confirm, done!

The entire flow takes seconds, and at no point are you asked to leave the app you’re already in.
