Breet has launched a Crypto API for businesses, helping African companies accept crypto, get payment webhooks, and auto-settle in fiat or stablecoins.
Breet says its Crypto API is now live, targeting businesses that want to accept crypto payments without building their own crypto infrastructure.
An API is a set of building blocks that lets software systems talk to each other. In this case, it lets a product team plug crypto payments into a checkout flow or wallet feature.
Breet says the API supports real-time webhooks, which are automated alerts your system receives when something changes, like a payment confirmation. For merchants, this can reduce manual reconciliation and speed up order fulfilment or account crediting.
The company also advertises automatic settlement, meaning funds can be paid out in local currency or stablecoins. Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies designed to track a stable price, usually the US dollar. Breet is also positioning the API as quick to integrate, with a claim of about 30 minutes for setup, and pricing “as low as 0.5% fee.”
Across African markets, many businesses want crypto payment options for cross-border customers and remote workers, but they do not want to manage wallets, confirmations, and on-chain monitoring in-house.
A ready-made crypto payments API can shift the work from internal engineering to a provider, similar to how payment gateways abstract card and bank transfer complexity. If Breet’s webhooks and settlement tools work reliably, it could help marketplaces, digital services, and export-facing SMEs accept crypto while still accounting in fiat.
The bigger test will be operational, including settlement speed, dispute handling, and compliance requirements that vary by country. Those details often determine whether crypto payments move from a side option to a core payment method for African merchants.
