Plisio alternative for turning stablecoin top-ups into fiat
Plisio pays out only in crypto. For platforms that take USDT or USDC top-ups and need fiat or local payouts, Unigox crypto processing is the Plisio alternative. Stay with Plisio for bitcoin, store plugins and crypto mass payouts.
When to stay with Plisio
Your Shopify or WooCommerce store takes bitcoin too
Plisio takes bitcoin, litecoin, dogecoin, Monero and other coins next to stablecoins, with plugins for Shopify, WooCommerce and Magento, hosted invoice pages and donation pages. Unigox accepts only USDT and USDC, and your own developers build the screen customers pay on.
You want to sign up yourself, without a call
A Plisio account opens with an email address and a password, and the fee table is public. It charges 0.5% on the API and 1.5% with white label for most coins, more for stablecoins on BNB Smart Chain and TON, with no monthly or setup fee. Unigox crypto processing starts with a call, and company accounts, OTC deals and the Payments API need company verification (KYB).
You send up to 1,000 crypto payouts from one file
Plisio mass payouts send up to 1,000 crypto transfers in one batch, imported from a spreadsheet. The Unigox Payments API pays users local money to a bank or mobile money account instead.
Plisio API and Unigox, from stablecoin top-up to fiat

|---|---|---|
| A customer's own address | A permanent address per user ID from the deposit endpoint, available only once white-label processing is switched on for your shop. | A reusable address under the customer's reference; the customer pays from their own wallet or exchange and needs no Unigox account. |
| Coins and networks | USDT on Ethereum, Tron, BNB Smart Chain, TON and Solana; USDC on Ethereum, Base, BNB Smart Chain and Solana. No Arbitrum or Polygon. | Crypto processing takes stablecoin payments on the major EVM networks (Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, Optimism, BNB Smart Chain, Avalanche, Unichain and HyperEVM), Robinhood Chain, Tron, TON and Solana. Which stablecoins a business accepts on each network is agreed during setup. |
| Fee on a payment | 0.5% on the API, 1.5% with white label (needed for the deposit endpoint). Stablecoins on BNB Smart Chain cost 1% or 2%, USDT on TON up to 5% or 6%; on Ethereum, Base, Tron and Solana a $0.50 to $1.50 minimum applies. Payouts and cash-outs cost 0.5%. | No public rate card; priced for your company. |
| Euros or pounds from the balance | Not offered. Plisio's help centre says it does not exchange crypto for fiat money and points users to exchanges. | USDT arrives as USDT and USDC as USDC. Keep it, send it to your wallet, or convert and withdraw it in an available local currency, such as USDC to EUR or GBP. |
| Paying your users | Crypto withdrawals to an address, one by one or in mass payouts of up to 1,000 transfers. | The Payments API pays local money to a user's bank or mobile money account, funded from USDT or USDC in your partner wallet. |

Say where the money has to end up
Name the stablecoins and networks your users send through Plisio, your monthly volume, and where the money has to end up: EUR, GBP or your users' local accounts. Services, pricing and integration access are agreed before launch, after company verification (KYB) with registration documents, ownership and source-of-funds evidence.
Carry over your user IDs
Each Plisio deposit address is tied to a user ID you chose. Send the same ID as the Unigox customer reference and request one reusable address per user.
Credit balances, then convert or pay out
Show the new address and network on your top-up screen and credit each balance from the payment notification. Convert what you need to EUR or GBP, or pay users local money through the Payments API.
Plisio questions
Can the Plisio API give each user a permanent address?
Yes. Its deposit endpoint ties an address to a user ID you send, but only for shops with white-label processing on. That costs 1.5% instead of 0.5% on most coins, and up to 6% on USDT on TON. Unigox crypto processing also keeps one reusable address per customer, under your customer reference.
What does Plisio charge on API payments?
0.5% per payment on the API and 1.5% with white label for most coins. Stablecoins on BNB Smart Chain cost 1% or 2%, and USDT on TON up to 5% or 6%, with a minimum fee on USDT. You choose whether you or your client pays. Unigox prices crypto processing per company, not from a public list.
Does Plisio exchange crypto payments for fiat money?
No. Plisio's help centre says it does not exchange cryptocurrency for fiat money, dollars and euros included, and suggests an exchange instead. A business paid in USDT or USDC on Unigox can convert and withdraw in an available local currency, such as USDC to EUR or GBP. It can also pay its users local money through the Payments API.
