Description.

CoinGate is a cryptocurrency payment management platform founded in 2014 and operated by UAB Decentralized, a company registered in Lithuania under the Bank of Lithuania (LB002323 MiCA CASP / LB002324 Payment Institution). The platform enables merchants to accept crypto payments via checkout, API, plugins, or payment links, settling proceeds in crypto or fiat (SEPA/SWIFT). CoinGate processed 1.42M payments in 2025 (7M+ total since launch), with stablecoins accounting for 29.8% of payment volume and USDC growing 1,264% YoY. 

Key capabilities include multi-chain support (Bitcoin, Litecoin, Solana, Optimism, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, Binance Smart Chain), auto-conversion of received crypto to merchant-preferred currency, and crypto payout rails. The platform charges 1% for standard crypto payment processing with no monthly fees and weekly settlements. Vilius Semėnas serves as CEO. The company split from its original entity (UAB "Virtualios Valiutos") in 2022, re-registering under UAB Decentralized.

Key Infrastructure.
Payment Gateway Crypto payment gateway enabling merchants to accept cryptocurrency payments on websites and apps via a hosted checkout page or embedded iframe form, with one-click deployment and minimal technical setup required for rapid go-live.
SEPA Payouts Euro bank transfers via SEPA for merchant settlements, with no transaction fees on crypto-to-EUR conversions and weekly settlement cycles by default, enabling cost-effective fiat payouts for European merchants with optional daily or on-demand settlement for high-volume merchants.
REST API Developer API with webhook (IPN) integration, supporting automated payment processing, invoice creation, real-time transaction status updates, and payout management for custom-built merchant integrations across web and mobile applications, with detailed documentation and sandbox testing.
SWIFT Payouts International USD bank transfers via SWIFT for merchant settlements worldwide, charged at 0.5% (minimum €50) with 3–5 business day processing, providing global fiat payout coverage beyond the SEPA zone for international merchants.
