🔹 Payment buttons
If you don’t use an online store, you can still accept payments or donations using payment buttons.
They can be added directly to your website, blog, or landing page.
🔹 Billing
For businesses that issue invoices manually or need to collect payments from clients, CoinGate offers a Billing tool.
You can create and send custom payment links directly from your dashboard — no website integration required.
🔹 API integration
For maximum flexibility, developers can connect to CoinGate through our API.
This option is ideal for custom-built websites or apps that require automated order creation, payment tracking, and settlement management.
Use the CoinGate Sandbox to test your integration safely before going live.
You can simulate orders, payments, and refunds without using real funds.
