Where to Pay with Crypto in 2026 — Stores, Services, and More

If you’re sitting on Bitcoin, ETH, or USDC and wondering where you can actually spend it, the answer is more places than you’d expect. Paying with crypto has moved well beyond niche tech stores — you can now book flights, buy luxury watches, subscribe to software, donate to charity, and shop at major online retailers, all without touching a bank account.

This guide covers the best places to pay with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies across every major category, based on verified listings. No filler — just real places that accept crypto today.

Online Marketplaces and General Retail

The easiest starting point is a store with broad product selection. SHOP.COM is a large online marketplace that accepts BTC, ETH, and USDC via BitPay — if you want to spend crypto and browse a wide catalogue without hunting for niche sites, this is where to start.

FARFETCH brings crypto acceptance to luxury fashion. Hundreds of designer brands are accessible through one platform, with BTC, ETH, USDT, and USDC accepted in supported regions.

For watches and accessories, Jomashop is a well-known retailer that processes crypto payments via BitPay, accepting BTC and ETH.

Travel: Flights, Hotels, and Booking Platforms

Travel is one of the most developed categories for crypto payments.

Travala is the go-to crypto travel booking platform — think Booking.com, but payable in BTC, ETH, or USDT. It covers millions of hotel properties and flights worldwide.

For flights specifically, airBaltic is one of the few airlines that accepts crypto directly at checkout, taking BTC, ETH, and USDC via BitPay.

Hotels are catching up too. If you want to pay for accommodation directly in crypto rather than through a platform, there are now individual hotels that accept it — including properties in Dubai and Portugal. Browse all hotel listings for the current options.

Digital Services: VPNs and Hosting

Digital services are among the most reliable places to pay with Bitcoin — subscriptions are a natural fit since they’re recurring, private payments.

VPNs

The VPN category is one of the most crypto-friendly on the site. Mullvad and ExpressVPN are two standouts with different profiles: Mullvad accepts BTC only and requires no email to sign up — the most private option available. ExpressVPN accepts BTC, ETH, USDC, and USDT and suits users who want more coin flexibility.

NordVPN also accepts Bitcoin, making it easy for users of the most popular VPN provider to pay without a credit card.

Web Hosting and Domains

Namecheap is one of the biggest domain registrars and accepts Bitcoin for domains and hosting. Hostinger covers shared, VPS, and cloud hosting and accepts BTC, ETH, and USDC — useful if you’re building a site and want to keep the whole stack paid in crypto.

Gift Cards: The Universal Workaround

Gift cards are the most underrated tool for spending crypto at stores that don’t accept it natively. A handful of platforms let you buy gift cards for major brands — think Amazon, Airbnb, Steam, and hundreds more — using crypto, with instant digital delivery.

Bitrefill is the largest and most established option, accepting BTC, ETH, USDC, USDT, and SOL. Coincards covers gift cards and mobile top-ups with BTC and ETH. Coinsbee accepts BTC, ETH, and USDT. SpendCrypto adds SOL and USDC to the mix with instant delivery. eGifter accepts ETH. BitPay Gift Cards handles Bitcoin purchases directly from the BitPay app.

If a store you want to shop at isn’t on this list, it almost certainly sells gift cards — and one of the platforms above will let you buy them with crypto.

Entertainment: Movie Tickets and Games

AMC Theatres accepts BTC and ETH via BitPay for movie tickets and gift cards — one of the most recognizable brick-and-mortar brand names in the crypto payment space.

For tabletop gaming, Wayland Games is a UK retailer for miniatures, board games, and hobby supplies that accepts BTC, ETH, and USDC.

Precious Metals

Buying gold or silver with Bitcoin is one of the oldest use cases in the space, and it still makes sense — you’re exchanging one hard asset for another.

APMEX is one of the largest precious metals dealers in the US and accepts BTC, ETH, and USDC. BGASC is another US-based option with the same coin support. Browse all precious metals dealers.

Charity and Donations

A growing number of legitimate charities accept crypto donations directly — no conversion needed on your end.

Save the Children accepts BTC, ETH, USDC, and SOL. Malala Fund accepts BTC, ETH, USDC, USDT, and SOL — one of the widest selections among charities. World Vision accepts BTC and ETH.

If you’re looking to donate rather than spend, browse all crypto donation options.

When the Store Doesn’t Accept Crypto Directly

Two tools bridge the gap when a merchant doesn’t natively support crypto payments.

MyNodePay lets you shop at major online retailers and pay with BTC, ETH, USDT, or SOL — the store sees a normal payment while you pay in crypto on your end.

Moon generates virtual Visa cards funded by your crypto (BTC, ETH, USDC, USDT) that you can use for online purchases anywhere Visa is accepted.

Use a Crypto Debit Card Everywhere Else

For physical stores, restaurants, and any merchant that accepts card payments, a crypto debit card converts your crypto to fiat at the point of sale — the vendor just sees a standard card transaction.

• KAST Card — Visa debit card with 2% to 8% back in KAST Points on card spend (tier-dependent), instant virtual card access, and points boosts for staked SOL holders. Get KAST
• ether.fi Card — Up to 3% cashback for ether.fi Club members, funded by crypto. Includes IBAN/SWIFT transfers, concierge services, lounge access, and hotel discounts up to 65%. Get ether.fi
