Common challenges of using crypto for Groupon purchases

Groupon does not accept crypto directly

Groupon does not natively accept cryptocurrency as a payment method, requiring users to first convert to fiat.

High conversion fees

Off-ramping from crypto to fiat often includes high service fees, reducing the value of your deals or savings.

Slow transaction processes

Traditional off-ramping methods take days and multiple steps, delaying your ability to book.

Crypto off-ramps aren’t built for experiences

Most platforms focus on financial services—not lifestyle experiences or spontaneous activities.
