CoinPayments, the world's leading cryptocurrency payments
processor, today announced a new strategic partnership with Shopify
(NYSE:SHOP). The collaboration will bring CoinPayments' crypto
payments processing platform to all Shopify merchants as both
companies look to fuel wider adoption of payments in digital

be a visible payment option for merchants on the Shopify platform
and will make cryptocurrency transactions easier and more
