New SDK Enables In-App Pay for Digital
Assets
Flexa, the platform that makes it easy for merchants to accept
digital payments, today launched Flexa Components, a suite of
mobile-first experiences that streamlines direct wallet payments
with digital assets for in-person transactions. Components
represents the first asset-agnostic, embeddable interface for
merchant point-of-sale systems to receive payments directly from
digital wallet apps using Base, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Lightning,
Litecoin, Polygon, Solana, and Zcash. Those supporting Flexa
Components include Base, the Electric Coin Company, Lightspark, the
Litecoin Foundation, the Solana Foundation, and several others,
providing their apps and ecosystems with access to merchants such
as Chipotle, I-Shoppes, Mikimoto, Regal Cinemas, 99 Ranch Market,
and more.
Current digital payment rails are limited to closed networks or
to specific blockchains and assets, leading to a fragmented
acceptance landscape that limits the value of and potential for
digital currencies. With Flexa Components, developers can reduce
time spent integrating with merchant acceptance solutions and
building key functionality like scanning. Merchants that integrate
Flexa’s infrastructure benefit from faster, smoother payment
processing, while consumers enjoy a new way to maximize the value
of their digital assets — all without having to pay the egregious
transaction fees typically associated with crypto credit/debit card
payments.
“We believe that embedding, accepting, and using digital
currencies should be easier than any other form of payment,” said
Daniel McCabe, CEO and co-founder of Flexa. “Flexa Components helps
deliver on that promise — while further unlocking a lower-fee
payment gateway for sellers. It’s a win-win for all.”
Flexa Components is available via the new Flexa SDK for iOS,
Android, and React Native, and combines sophisticated design and
technology to deliver a world-class payments experience for
developers and consumers alike, including:
- Spend, designed to enable developers to embed a pay
button directly into apps
- In-person payments at thousands of merchant locations across
the U.S.
- The best market exchange rate on every payment, with zero
transaction fees (and no spread)
- Native compatibility with several blockchain networks,
including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Lightning, Litecoin, Polygon,
and Zcash, with more to come.
- Scan, which offers a drop-in replacement for a wallet
app’s scanner functionality
- Simple payments by scan or QR code, including support for all
major payment request formats.
With this launch, Flexa Components is bolstering a broader
mission to bring digital currencies into mainstream usage through
utility that can be embraced universally by global merchants,
developers, wallets, consumers, and every blockchain network.
“Components reflects our continued commitment to build a better
bridge between these incredible new financial technologies and the
legacy payments infrastructure. We’re so excited to launch this new
offering to better address today’s challenges head-on for both
merchants and consumers,” said Trevor Filter, co-founder of
Flexa.
