FAQ

Common questions

Everything you need to know about Kyoto Pay for WordPress.

Do my customers need anything special?

Yes — customers need the Kyoto wallet Chrome extension installed. If they don't have it, the button shows a link to install it. Kyoto is free.

What are the fees?

Zero processing fees. The only cost is the MobileCoin network fee of 0.0004 MOB per transaction (less than $0.01). No monthly fees, no percentage cut, no hidden charges.

Is this custodial? Do you hold my funds?

No. Payments go directly from the customer's Kyoto wallet to your MobileCoin address. The plugin never touches funds. There's no intermediary.

How do I get a MobileCoin address?

Install the Kyoto wallet Chrome extension. Your MobileCoin address is shown on the Receive screen. Copy it and paste it into the plugin settings.

Can I convert MOB to dollars?

Yes — use AntelopeSwap.com to convert MOB to USD, EUR, ETH, USDT, or USDC.

Does it work with my theme?

The pay button renders as a standalone element that inherits minimal styling from your theme. You can customize colors, text, and border radius to match your design.

What happens if a payment fails?

The button resets and the customer can try again. Failed payments are logged in the Kyoto Pay admin page. No money moves on a failed payment.

Is the gated content secure?

Yes. Gated content is stored in the database and only delivered via REST API after payment is verified. It is never present in the page HTML source — even "View Source" won't reveal it.

Can I offer refunds?

MobileCoin transactions are irreversible on the blockchain. If you need to issue a refund, you would send MOB back to the customer's address manually.

Does it work with WooCommerce subscriptions?

Not yet. The current version supports one-time payments only. Recurring and subscription support is planned for a future release.
