We're excited to announce that BitPay has embedded instant Apple Pay@ onboarding directly into its app, powered by MoonPay Headless Ramps.*
BitPay is one of the longest standing companies in crypto payments. Founded in 2011, it lets people buy, store, and spend a wide range of digital assets through its self custodial wallet, while giving merchants the tools to accept crypto and settle in fiat. It is a trusted name with a global user base and a long track record of bringing crypto into everyday payments.MoonPay handles the payments, compliance, and verification stack behind the scenes, so BitPay can offer a fast and familiar buying flow without building that infrastructure itself.
With this integration, BitPay controls the entire checkout experience while MoonPay runs the payment rails and identity verification underneath. Users buy crypto natively inside BitPay using Apple Pay, with no widget or redirect. MoonPay Headless Ramps run invisibly beneath the brand, so the flow looks and feels like a native part of the app.
The onboarding experience is nearly instant. Apple Pay is now fully embedded inside BitPay, so verified users can move from fiat in their bank account to crypto in a single tap. There is no separate page and no re-authentication. For new users, a lightweight onboarding frame opens inline within the app. Once that flow is complete, every future purchase is frictionless.
This matters because friction is what loses users at the moment they decide to buy. Redirects break trust, and re-authentication adds drop off. By keeping the entire experience inside BitPay, the integration removes the steps that usually cause people to abandon a purchase. BitPay keeps full control of its brand and its wallet users.
The result is a model where regulated payment infrastructure fades into the product. Users see BitPay, they tap once, and they get crypto.
"The best payment experiences are the ones people never have to think about," said Ivan Soto-Wright, Co-Founder and CEO of MoonPay. "BitPay has built a trusted home for crypto, and we are proud to power a flow where buying digital assets feels as simple as any everyday purchase. This is what crypto payments should look like."
Instant Apple Pay onboarding is live in BitPay today. Update your app to start buying crypto in a single tap.
