Apirone is a cryptocurrency payment processing service that enables merchants to accept Bitcoin, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Dogecoin payments on their websites and in retail settings. The platform forwards payments directly to the merchant's own wallet, operating on a non-custodial model where Apirone never holds customer or merchant funds.
The service is designed for simplicity and privacy, requiring no KYC documentation or lengthy onboarding process. Merchants can integrate Apirone using its REST API or through ready-made plugins for popular e-commerce platforms. Apirone was an early adopter of SegWit technology for payment forwarding, which provides reduced network fees and faster transaction confirmation for payments processed through the service.
