Paying with crypto.

Bitcoin, Ether, USDC, USDT — every self-serve paid tier accepts crypto via NowPayments.

Payment settles on the blockchain itself: once your transfer has the required number of confirmations, your account unlocks automatically — in the normal case, no support ticket needed.

Supported tiers

• Personal ($79/mo)
• Team ($249/mo)
• Agency ($699/mo)
• API Starter ($149/mo)
• API Builder ($499/mo)
• API Scale ($1,499/mo)

Enterprise tiers (custom pricing) settle through wire transfer or crypto on a negotiated invoice — contact sales@driftstack.dev.

Accepted currencies

• BTC
• ETH
• USDC (ERC-20)
• USDT (ERC-20)
• USDC (Polygon)

The price you see at checkout is quoted in USD; the equivalent crypto amount is fixed when the order is created and doesn't change. You then have a 1-hour window to pay at that quote. An order that misses the window isn't cancelled by a timer — it just goes stale. If you want a fresh quote (you missed your window, or market conditions moved), email support@driftstack.dev and we'll close the stale order so you can check out again at the current price.

Confirmation timing

How the checkout works

1. From your account dashboard, pick the tier and click Pay with crypto.
2. Driftstack creates an order through NowPayments and shows you a one-time deposit address + the exact amount to send.
3. You send the transfer. The exchange or wallet you use is up to you — we only need to see the transfer land at the address NowPayments issued.
4. NowPayments watches the blockchain; once your transfer reaches the required number of confirmations, Driftstack switches your account to the new tier.

⚠︎ Crypto payments are non-refundable. You may cancel anytime — cancellation stops future billing periods — but the current billing period is not refunded. See refund policy for the full rules.

If something goes wrong

• Underpayment — if the transfer is short of the quoted amount, the order is marked partial and support follows up within one business day to confirm a top-up. Because crypto payments are non-refundable, a short payment is fixed by topping up the difference — we can't send your crypto back.
• Late payment — transfers received after the 1-hour pay-window land on an order we treat as expired. Nothing is lost: support manually reconciles these, so expect a one-business-day delay.
• Wrong currency — if you send a currency we don't accept, the money will not come back on its own. Email support@driftstack.dev with the transaction hash (the payment's ID on the blockchain); we'll do what we can on a best-effort basis.

Refunds + cancellation

Crypto payments are non-refundable. Once a crypto payment settles on-chain, it is committed for the billing period it covers. You can cancel your subscription at any time — cancellation stops the next billing period's payment request — but the current period is not pro-rated or refunded. This is standard practice for business software subscriptions; the reasoning is in /legal/refunds.

If you need a refund mechanism, our card-billing path (Stripe) is the right channel; card refunds follow the standard rules in the refund policy.

Tax + accounting

Invoices for crypto payments are issued in US dollars, at the USD price quoted when you ordered — not at what the crypto happened to be worth when it arrived. That keeps your books the same as card payments. If you instead need a receipt showing the crypto amount (for bookkeeping of crypto you hold yourself — "self-custody"), request one from support.
