Introducing the Checkout Plugin

Mavapay and BTCPay Server are glad to rollout their checkout plugin - a simple way to accept Bitcoin payments from Nigerian customers. With this plugin, users can choose to pay either onchain bitcoin, lightning or naira.

This is a revolutionary solution for businesses looking to expand their reach and tap into the burgeoning Nigerian market. By seamlessly integrating Bitcoin payments, Mavapay allows you to accept payments from Nigerian customers in their local currency, Naira, while you, the merchant, receive Bitcoin. This eliminates the complexities of international transactions, currency conversion fees, and traditional banking hurdles, making it easier than ever to connect with a wider customer base. This innovative approach not only simplifies the payment process for both parties but also opens up new opportunities for growth in a digitally-forward economy.
