How it works
- Place your order as usual and choose Cryptocurrency in the list of payment methods.
- You are taken to the CoinGate payment page. Pick a coin and a network there, and the page shows the exact amount and a wallet address.
- Send the amount from your own crypto wallet within 20 minutes. Once the blockchain confirms the payment, the order is marked as paid automatically and you get an email.
Crypto works both for orders delivered to Latvia, Lithuania or Estonia and for orders you collect from our warehouse at Slokas iela 55, Rīga. The warehouse itself does not take crypto - you pay online when you place the order.
Which coins we accept
You can pay with Bitcoin (including the Lightning network), Ethereum, Solana, Litecoin, XRP, TRON, Dogecoin, BNB and Polygon, as well as the stablecoins USDC and EURC. EURC is pegged to the euro, so there is no exchange rate to think about. Ethereum and USDC can be sent on several networks, such as Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum or Polygon. The current list is on the CoinGate website.
USDT and DAI are not available: under the EU MiCA regulation CoinGate no longer accepts them in the European Union.
Price, rate and fees
The price is the same as when paying by card or internet banking. We add no surcharge for paying with crypto. CoinGate converts the euro amount into the coin you choose and fixes the rate for 20 minutes from the moment you pick it. If the payment does not arrive in that time, the invoice expires and you can start the payment again from the order page at the rate of that moment.
The blockchain network fee is paid by your wallet and is not part of the order total. It depends on the network and how busy it is. You see the exact amount to pay on the CoinGate page before you pay.
Who processes the payment
Payments are processed by CoinGate (UAB Decentralized, Lithuania), which has operated since 2014. Since 16 December 2025 it has held a crypto-asset service provider authorisation from the Bank of Lithuania under the EU MiCA regulation - you can check it in the Bank of Lithuania register. CoinGate converts the crypto it receives into euros straight away, and we are paid in euros. We do not hold crypto and have no access to your wallet keys.
Refunds and returns
An order paid in crypto carries the same rights as any other, including the 14-day right of withdrawal. We refund the euro amount you paid within 14 days. The refund is sent via CoinGate in crypto at the exchange rate on the refund date, so the number of coins may differ from your payment. We cover CoinGate's refund fee. If you prefer, we can refund in euros to your bank account instead.
Once a refund is started, CoinGate emails you to ask for the wallet address to send it to. How to return an item is explained in Returns.
Invoices and companies
After payment you receive a normal VAT invoice in euros. Companies pay the same way: enter the company details when you place the order and they appear on the invoice.
