Crypto payments firm MoonPay announced Thursday that it has launched an enhanced checkout tool for NFTs, giving companies and marketplaces a way to make it easy to buy tokenized artwork, collectibles, memberships, and other items.
MoonPay Checkout builds on the feature set of the company’s original NFT checkout widget, offering a no-code tool that can be easily added to websites to let customers purchase NFTs across dozens of chains using debit and credit cards.
The company says that the enhanced tool features a streamlined process with fewer steps to purchase NFTs, integration with Google and Apple accounts for a familiar login process for customers, and a simplified process for providing know-your-customer (KYC) documents.
Customers can also generate a crypto wallet during checkout to further expedite the purchase process, so they don’t need to be crypto savvy to get started.
The tool works with NFTs across 41 blockchain networks so far, including Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, and Flow. Users can also mint multiple NFTs in a single transaction.

Pudgy Penguins, for example, an Ethereum NFT collection and longtime bear market favorite, has jumped 74% in USD floor price in the l...
For brands, MoonPay is offering new features like custom visual themes, custom smart contracts for powering the buying experience, and the ability to pay users’ gas fees. MoonPay also guarantees no chargebacks when customers purchase NFTs with the tool.
According to the company, the tool has already been implemented by major marketplaces like OpenSea and Magic Eden, as well as the Ethereum Name Service (ENS).

Magic Eden sees a crypto future that spans multiple blockchains—and is launching its crypto wallet browser extension in closed beta to support that aim, the firm behind the NFT marketplace announced Monday. “We believe in a multi-chain world for NFTs,” Magic Eden CEO and co-founder Jack Lu told Decrypt in an interview. “Up until today, for a user to really experience all the different products and features and great content that we have on every chain, they effectively have to download three wa...
MoonPay CEO and co-founder Ivan Soto-Wright told Decrypt that providing a comfortable NFT buying experience for users is “one of the biggest barriers for brands,” and that the company has completely reworked the checkout process.
“What was once a five-screen process is now a seamless, four-click experience that makes it simple to purchase digital collectibles in just seconds,” he said. “We are merging the technology of Web3 with the high-quality user experience that customers expect in Web2.”
