No. You just need to insert your crypto address of the cryptocurrencies you wish to accept. Whenever a customer pays, the money will be automatically and instantly forwarded to your address.

= How long do payments take before they're confirmed? =

This depends on the cryptocurrency you're using. Bitcoin usually takes up to 11 minutes, Ethereum usually takes less than a minute.

= Is there a minimum for a payment? =

Yes, the minimums change according to the chosen cryptocurrency and can be checked [here](https://cryptapi.io/fees/).
If the WooCommerce order total is below the chosen cryptocurrency's minimum, an error is raised to the user.
