You price your products in USD or EUR. Your customers pay in crypto, and you decide which coins you accept. Whatever you enable is what they see at checkout. Switching a coin on or off needs the owner or admin role.

The thirteen payment methods

Taberna supports thirteen coins across five networks. A network (or blockchain) is the public ledger a coin lives on; the same coin on two networks is two different payment methods, because the money travels on different rails.
A stablecoin is a crypto token that tracks a normal currency one-to-one, so 1 USDC is always worth about $1. Native coins — SOL, ETH, POL, BNB — move in price all day.
There is no USDC on BNB Chain. If you enable BNB Chain, your customers can pay in BNB or USDT there, and nothing else.

​
What to switch on first

Start with one stablecoin on a low-fee network — USDC on Base or on Polygon. Two reasons:
  • Your customer pays a few cents to send it, instead of several dollars on Ethereum.
  • The amount does not drift while they are paying. With a native coin, the price is locked for the payment window and the customer bears any movement outside it; with a stablecoin there is nothing to move.
You can add more coins later at any time. More coins means more customers can pay you, so once you have taken a few payments it is worth turning on the stablecoins on every network you are willing to hold a wallet for.

​
Turning methods on

Payment methods are set per store, under Settings → Payments. Each network gets its own panel with a switch per coin. When you first set up your store you choose one network and Taberna switches on every coin on it for you. After that you turn coins on and off individually.

Settings → Payments: a switch for every coin, grouped by network.

A coin’s switch stays greyed out until you have added a payout address for its network — the panel header shows (no address) until you do.
Enabling a network’s coins is only half the job. You also need a payout address on that network, or there is nowhere for the money to go. See Payout wallets.
