Alchemy Pay, a fiat-crypto payment gateway, has established a partnership with Trekki NFT, and extended the functionality of its NFT Checkout in order “to support and facilitate its minting processes.”
These unique NFTs, “bearing a travel theme,” are backed by the global online travel services provider, Trip.com (NASDAQ:TCOM).
Users who seek to mint and acquire Trekki NFTs now “have the convenience of using their preferred fiat payment methods, which significantly improves the user experience by eliminating the complexities often associated with inconvenient cryptocurrency transactions.”
With this integration, Alchemy Pay’s NFT Checkout reportedly offers diverse payment channels, “such as AlipayHK in Hong Kong, DANA in Indonesia, GCash in the Philippines, along with GrabPay in Singapore, and more.”
This comprehensive inclusion of payment methods “equips Alchemy Pay to offer an effective solution for the sale and payment acceptance of NFTs, granting users the flexibility to acquire NFTs through their preferred and familiar payment means.”
Trekki NFT is issued by one-stop travel booking service company Trip.com, representing a travel-themed NFT series “featuring an adorable dolphin who loves exploring.”
By providing a range of benefits for NFT holders, “the Trekki NFT strives to facilitate the transition of Web2 users into the realm of Web3, thereby enhancing the travel experience with increased convenience, rewards, and enjoyment for travelers such as offering discounts when booking accommodations and other travel services.”
Prior to this launch, Trekki has already “engaged in significant collaborations, including partnerships with 9GAG’s Web3 project Memeland, as well as renowned investment firm Animoca Brands’ membership NFT series, Mocaverse. Additionally, preliminary discussions have taken place with airlines from Japan and Thailand to expand the utility of Trekki in various travel scenarios.”
Alchemy Pay remains committed “to its fundamental mission to bridge the fiat and crypto global economies.”
Beyond NFT Checkout, its On and Off-ramp offerings “operate a comprehensive network of over 300 payment channels that span across 173 countries and regions.”
Through its payment capabilities, Alchemy Pay “ensures widespread accessibility for acquiring cryptocurrencies, facilitated by a diverse range of payment methods.”
These methods include conventional options “such as Visa and Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay, as well as localized mobile wallets and domestic transfers. Consequently, Alchemy Pay is able to truly onboard more users through its NFT Checkout and On and Off-Ramp solutions.”
