MyCryptoCheckout

MyCryptoCheckout provided a cryptocurrency payments plugin for e-commerce platforms, notably WooCommerce and Shopify. Merchants could accept Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and other cryptocurrencies at checkout, with MyCryptoCheckout instantly converting the payment into fiat and settling it into the merchant's bank account. The merchant never held or managed cryptocurrency directly.

The company was founded by Chris Whittle, a developer who built the platform to solve merchant-side crypto volatility and chargeback risk. Whittle's public association with the project is documented through domain registrations, open-source code commits, and early product forums.

Based on available public records, the service appears to have gone dormant by late 2022. The project's social media accounts went silent, plugin downloads plateaued, and no new merchant integrations have been verifiably added since that period. This timing aligns with the broader consolidation of crypto payments infrastructure into large, well-capitalized platforms.

The platform included automated customer verification tools that ran during checkout. By screening transactions before settlement, the system aimed to flag fraudulent payments and reduce the chargeback exposure that typically accompanies card-not-present e-commerce transactions, which was a particular concern given the irreversible nature of cryptocurrency transfers.

The service was designed for international merchant onboarding, with documented uptake across North America, Europe, and parts of Southeast Asia. Its pitch was particularly relevant in jurisdictions where traditional credit-card processing was either expensive or logistically difficult, making crypto payment rails an attractive alternative for reaching global customers.
