Apirone is a Payment Service Provider (PSP) for merchants accepting bitcoin.
Merchant Tools
Apirone is for merchants using an eCommerce solution such as WooCommerce, Virtuemart, Opencart, OcStore and Magento2. For merchants without one of these eCommerce solutions, they can use a RESTful API to create their own solution.
Fees
Unlike most Bitcoin payment gateway, Apirone does not charge a flat fee of 1% of the value of the sale. They only charge a fixed fee of 0.0002 BTC by transaction, regardless of the amount of the order.
Segwit
The segregated protocol Segwit is supported. This is all the addresses, starting with "3" (P2SH-P2WPKH), or native address, starting with «bc1» (P2WPKH, Bech32). A Bitcoin blockchain explorer that support Segwit, the fourth of its kind, is also available on the website.
