Auras Pay

Auras Pay is a non-custodial cryptocurrency payment gateway built for merchants who want to accept digital assets without surrendering custody of their funds to a third party. Operated by AURAS Technologies MENA FZCO, a Dubai-based distributed ledger technology (DLT) company, the platform processes payments by routing transactions directly between customer and merchant wallets. The company does not store, manage, or hold funds at any point in the transaction flow, and explicitly classifies itself as a technology provider rather than a payment service provider or virtual asset service provider (VASP).

How It Works

The core principle behind Auras Pay is wallet-to-wallet settlement. When a customer initiates a payment, the transaction routes directly from the customer's wallet to a merchant-owned receiving address. Auras Pay generates the payment request and monitors the blockchain for confirmation, but funds never pass through any platform-controlled account. This design eliminates chargeback risk, account freezes, and third-party custody exposure for merchants.

Merchants interact with the platform through a unified dashboard that aggregates real-time transaction monitoring across multiple devices and locations. Payment requests are generated as QR codes or shareable payment links, making the system compatible with both in-person retail environments and online checkout flows.

Supported Networks and Assets

Auras Pay supports multiple blockchain networks, with Solana positioned as the platform's primary network for speed-sensitive use cases. Solana's sub-second finality and low per-transaction fees make it the fastest settlement layer in the platform's stack, with typical payment confirmations completing in one to two seconds. Other supported networks include Ethereum, Bitcoin, BNB Smart Chain, and TRON.

Accepted assets include SOL, BTC, ETH, USDT, and USDC, among other SPL tokens available through the Solana integration. For merchants pricing in fiat currencies, the platform handles automatic fiat-to-crypto conversion at checkout, allowing product listings to remain denominated in local currency while payments settle in the chosen digital asset.

Product Suite

Payment Gateway and API

The core payment gateway exposes a RESTful API that allows developers to create payment links, track transaction status, manage invoices, and automate payment workflows programmatically. This API-first design targets SaaS platforms, e-commerce operators, and businesses that need to embed crypto acceptance into existing systems without building blockchain integrations from scratch.

WooCommerce Plugin

Auras Pay publishes an official WooCommerce plugin on WordPress.org, enabling WordPress-powered online stores to add crypto checkout in minutes. The plugin supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and USDC, and adds a multi-cryptocurrency selector to the WooCommerce checkout page. Real-time on-chain payment detection handles confirmation automatically, with webhook notifications keeping merchant systems in sync.

AurasPay POS (Android)

In December 2025, AURAS Technologies launched AurasPay POS, an Android application designed for in-person retail environments including cafes, restaurants, salons, and service businesses. The application allows merchants to deploy an unlimited number of Android devices under a single merchant account, with all activity synchronized to the central Auras Pay dashboard in real time. Payments are accepted at 0% transaction fees, with settlement going directly to the merchant's own wallet. The POS system requires no proprietary hardware—any compatible Android device can run the application.

AURAS Wallet

Alongside the merchant payment tools, AURAS Technologies operates a companion self-custodial Solana wallet under the brand AURAS Wallet. The wallet holds SOL and SPL tokens and includes QR payment functionality that integrates natively with the Auras Pay merchant system. Private keys are generated and stored exclusively on the user's device, consistent with the platform's non-custodial design across all products.

Business Model and Regulatory Positioning

Auras Pay operates on a subscription-based model. Merchants pay for access to the platform's technology rather than a percentage of each transaction, resulting in zero per-transaction fees regardless of payment size or volume. The company's DLT-provider classification means it does not require the same regulatory licensing as payment processors or virtual asset service providers in most jurisdictions—AURAS Technologies does not provide financial services, store value, or execute trades on behalf of customers.

Solana Fit

Solana's role in the Auras Pay stack is central. The chain's one-to-two-second confirmation times allow merchants to treat crypto payments as effectively instant at the point of sale, closing the usability gap that has historically made slower blockchains impractical for retail checkout. The AURAS Wallet is built as a Solana-native product, and the platform's QR payment flow is optimized for Solana's low-cost transaction structure. For merchants serving high-frequency transaction environments—retail counters, market stalls, restaurant tables—Solana's throughput and fee model makes it the practical choice within the Auras Pay network.

Company and Team

AURAS Technologies MENA FZCO is registered in the UAE and maintains an active LinkedIn presence under that name. The company publishes product updates through standard business newswires and maintains the AURAS Wallet as a companion Solana product to the payment gateway. No named founders or executives are prominently disclosed in available public materials.
