PayStarSea is a WooCommerce payment gateway plugin that lets merchants accept cryptocurrency directly on their WordPress store. It supports USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, SOL, and TRX across TRON (TRC20), Ethereum (ERC20), BNB Chain (BEP20), Polygon, Bitcoin, and Solana networks. The plugin is non-custodial, meaning payments settle instantly to a merchant's own external wallet rather than being held by PayStarSea. Setup requires generating API credentials from a PayStarSea merchant dashboard and entering them into WooCommerce's payment settings, after which store owners choose which coins to accept. Payment QR codes are generated client-side in the browser (via a bundled qrcode.js library) rather than through a third-party QR service, and webhook callbacks with HMAC-signed verification update WooCommerce order status automatically when on-chain payments are confirmed. The plugin also supports WooCommerce Blocks checkout. PayStarSea is distributed as an official plugin on the WordPress.org plugin directory (published June 2026), though it currently has a small install base (fewer than 10 active installs as of this writing), and the company does not publish pricing or fee information on its website.
