Accept Ethereum payments directly on your invoices with Hanko, without stitching together a wallet, a spreadsheet, and a payment link. You send a branded invoice, your client pays in ETH or a stablecoin, and Hanko watches the chain so the invoice is only marked paid once the transaction actually confirms. Clients who don't hold crypto can still pay the same invoice by card or bank.
How accepting Ethereum works in Hanko
Create an invoice, add your line items, and share it. Hanko generates a payment page where the client can settle in ETH or a supported stablecoin on Ethereum. Because everything runs from one dashboard, the payment, the receipt, and the reconciliation stay tied to the original invoice instead of living in separate tools.
- Build and send a branded invoice in minutes
- Client chooses ETH, USDC, USDT, or DAI at checkout
- Payment status updates automatically against the invoice
- No manual matching of transaction hashes to invoices
On-chain verification: paid means confirmed
A screenshot of a pending transaction is not proof of payment. Hanko marks an invoice paid only when the Ethereum network confirms the transaction on-chain, so you never chase a client who says they sent funds that never arrived. Every confirmed payment produces an email receipt with a link to the transaction on a block explorer, giving both sides a verifiable record.
Networks and tokens you can accept
Ethereum mainnet is fully supported, and because mainnet gas fees can be high, Hanko also lets you take the same tokens on lower-cost networks so clients pay less to send. You pick what fits the size and urgency of the payment.
- Ethereum mainnet for ETH, USDC, USDT, and DAI
- Lower-fee networks: Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism
- Stablecoins (USDC, USDT, DAI) for price-stable settlement
- ETH for clients who prefer to pay in the native asset
Off-ramp ETH to your bank account
Taking crypto doesn't mean you have to hold crypto. From the same screen where a payment lands, you can off-ramp funds to a linked bank account, so what starts as an Ethereum payment can arrive as fiat in your balance. That keeps your books simple if you'd rather report and spend in your local currency.
Clients without a wallet can still pay
Accepting Ethereum shouldn't cost you the clients who aren't set up for crypto. Every Hanko invoice keeps a fiat path open, so a client can pay by card, ACH, or SEPA bank wire on the exact same invoice. You offer Ethereum as an option, not a requirement, and nobody gets stuck at checkout.
Frequently asked questions
Do my clients need an Ethereum wallet to pay me?
No. Clients who hold ETH or stablecoins can pay on-chain, but anyone else can pay the same invoice by card, ACH, or SEPA bank wire. A crypto wallet is optional, never required.
When is an Ethereum invoice marked as paid?
Only when the Ethereum network confirms the transaction on-chain. Hanko verifies the payment itself rather than relying on a screenshot or a client's word, so 'paid' always means the funds actually settled.
Which tokens and networks are supported?
You can accept ETH and the stablecoins USDC, USDT, and DAI on Ethereum. To reduce fees, the same tokens can also be accepted on Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism.
Can I convert Ethereum payments to cash?
Yes. From the same screen, you can off-ramp received crypto to a linked bank account, so an Ethereum payment can land in your account as fiat.
Are Ethereum gas fees a problem for my clients?
Mainnet fees vary with network activity. If they're high, you can accept the same tokens on lower-cost networks like Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, or Optimism so clients pay less to send.
How does my client get a receipt?
After a payment confirms, both you and the client receive an email receipt that includes a link to the transaction on a block explorer for independent verification.
