Accept Dash (DASH) payments
Speend is a Dash payment gateway and DASH payment processor for business. Add Dash payments to your website with near-instant InstantSend confirmation, settle in crypto or fiat, fees from 0.5% and KYB onboarding.
What is Dash (DASH)?
Dash (DASH) is a cryptocurrency built specifically for payments, its name short for “Digital Cash”. It runs on its own blockchain with a masternode network that powers two features aimed at everyday spending: InstantSend, which locks a transaction near-instantly, and PrivateSend, an optional privacy feature. Fees are low and confirmation is fast.
For a merchant, Dash is a practical payment coin: InstantSend removes the wait a customer would face on slower chains, which suits point-of-sale and retail checkout. Speend handles the volatility question through optional auto-conversion: the customer pays in DASH, and you can hold DASH or settle into a stablecoin at the moment of confirmation.
