Our verdict on CoinPal

CoinPal suits a webmaster selling under their own name, on a cam, dating or chat site, who wants a gateway that plugs straight into their store. Fees are low, and the referral program pays a share of the fees of referred merchants.

The company behind it is vague, and the terms leave wide room to turn a business away.

What CoinPal charges

The referral page puts the transaction fee at 1.00%. The home page promises no account fee, no setup fee, no monthly fee and no hidden costs. The terms point to a fee schedule on the website, but /pricing returns a 404 and no pricing page appears in the menu. The home page also shows a 100% money-back guarantee without explaining it.
