Accept Quidax
without building the integration
Quidax is an African crypto and stablecoin infrastructure provider offering on- and off-ramps between stablecoins and local African currencies. Its practical use is cross-border: settling in USDT or USDC and converting to Naira, Cedi, Rand or Shilling, in markets where conventional cross-border rails are slow or expensive.

Quidax fees and pricing
Two separate bills, and only one of them exists.
- What PaymentHood charges
- Nothing on your Quidax transactions. No percentage and no per-transaction cut, at any volume. Every payment feature is free, and the optional Premium plan only adds white-label checkout branding.
- What Quidax charges
- Quidax sets its own rates and bills you directly. PaymentHood never sits between you and that invoice, so switching to or from Quidax changes what you pay Quidax and nothing else.
- What moves the rate
- Payment providers price per market and per method rather than as a single global figure. Quidax operates across 4 countries, so the country the payment is taken in matters. It settles in NGN, GHS, ZAR, KES, XAF, XOF, USD, and cross-currency transactions are not priced the same as domestic ones. It also accepts 2 different payment methods, and card, transfer and wallet rails each carry their own cost.
- Where to check the figure
- Quidax publishes current rates on their pricing page (opens in new tab). That is the authority, not this page. We deliberately quote no numbers here, because a rate that has quietly changed is worse than no rate at all.
How PaymentHood works with Quidax
A direct Quidax integration is not just an API call. These are the parts every team ends up rebuilding — and the parts PaymentHood ships already done.
- Credentials
- API key held server-side in PaymentHood
- Webhook security
- Signed event callback, validated before an order is released
- Payment verification
- Server-side transaction status re-check before fulfilment
- Idempotent charge creation, so a retried request never double-charges a customer
- Automatic failover to another configured provider when Quidax is unreachable
- One reconciliation view across Quidax and every other provider you run
- Provider credentials never reach the storefront or the customer's browser
- Adding or switching a provider later is a dashboard change, not a re-integration
