In this article, I will introduce you to the latest integration created by Cryptomus, the payment widgets, more specifically how to make a payment button. I will explain to you step by step what this feature is and how it will help you make more money.
Introduction to HTML Payment Widgets
Most of us have an idea of what a widget is. We all have checked this feature at least once on our phones. In the field of websites widgets are not so different. The correct and easy definition for them is:
A small, standalone block of code that can be embedded in a web page or application to perform a specific function or provide a particular feature.
I know this definition is too technical, so let me simplify it for you: A widget on a website is a bit like a mini-app. It’s a small tool or feature that you can add to make your website do more. For example, some widgets show the weather, list events on a calendar or display posts from social media sites like Facebook or Twitter or even payment methods like a Paypal payment button, HTML or Stripe payment button.
So as you understand it, a cryptocurrency payment widget is a mini-app that displays the crypto payment method, such as payment buttons. It is as simple as that.
