ShapeShift.io, an instant Bitcoin and altcoin exchange service, has partnered with CoinPayments.net, a cryptocurrency checkout system for merchants, through the integration of the ShapeShift API. The integration powers CoinPayment’s platform to allow merchants to receive various cryptocurrencies and automatically trade them for their digital asset of choice.

CoinPayments proved an exceptional example of how the Shapeshift API can be utilized efficiently. Alex Alexandrov, CoinPayments CEO commented:
“We are excited to offer simple and frictionless conversions to our customers using the ShapeShift API. This partnership gets us one step closer to a system where customers can pay in any currency they choose and vendors settle in what they find most convenient for their business.”
