BEWARE: CoinGate holds your funds hostage! Do not use.

I strongly advise against using CoinGate. I made a purchase of $6 USDT via an online shop that uses their gateway. The payment wasn't confirmed, and their support team was offline and unresponsive for over 24 hours.
When they finally replied, they flagged my $6 transaction as potential "money laundering." They issued an ultimatum: either I send them my sensitive personal ID and private data, or they will not refund the crypto I already sent.
This feels like a trap. They take the money first, then they ask for sensitive data you would never want to share, and if you refuse, they keep the funds. This is extortion, plain and simple. If they do this to even a fraction of their daily users, they are pocketing a massive amount of stolen money. Avoid this payment gateway at all costs.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your feedback — we understand how frustrating this experience has felt.

To clarify, CoinGate does not block or hold funds arbitrarily. In certain situations, we are legally required to complete an identity check before any refund can be issued. This applies regardless of the amount involved and is not something we are allowed to bypass.

We never request any information unless regulations require it, and we never use customer documents for anything other than verifying the refund recipient. We also do not profit from unclaimed payments; all outcomes must follow strict regulatory rules.

If you would like us to take another look at your case or need help completing the process, please contact us at support@coingate.com
— we’re here to assist and want to resolve this for you as smoothly as possible.

Kind regards,
CoinGate Support

Hello,

Both SEPA payments and our gift card support team have the luxury of not working weekends; however, I see that your order was.

As soon as the payment was received, your order was completed.

I also see a reply was made to your support ticket. Please respond there if you need further assistance.

The process overall went very well overall

The process overall went very well. There was only one glitch that prevented the first attempt to complete the transaction, but they corrected it immediately. I had to have the hold on the card I used for the transaction that was caused by the initial glitch - my credit card company did that very quickly. I was processing this transaction on a Saturday, so, being a weekend, I was a little doubtful about getting assistance via email. But, I received a response immediately and they continued to be there until the entire transaction successfully completed. All is well!

Slow and bad support and even slower verification process. To me, it seems to don’t have enough man power to support their customers.

Very fraudelent business

Very fraudulent business, when it clearly states that they do underpaid payments meaning if the payment is NOT the exact dollar amount, they still send to merchant, this is false, and this company completely STOLE my funds. Do not trust, this business.

I sent another payment because I did not want to use my debit card online.Mind you this was a small payment 12.12, I paid the fee's which was 12.19 and i got a message it was underpaid in my email saying it was underpaid and needed to send an additional payment, which i did. Then the money credited to the online business was 11.07.. This company is a complete scam, DO NOT TRUST or use them.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re truly sorry to hear about your experience.

We’re not entirely sure what you mean by “incomplete payments,” as our system follows a very clear process:

If the exact required amount is received, the payment is forwarded to the merchant.

If the payment is underpaid, the order cannot be completed, and a refund form automatically appears on the payment page.

Once the refund form is filled out, the funds are returned to the refund address provided by the customer.

From what we can see, our support team has already explained the situation to you directly, and the funds involved have been refunded.

If you believe anything is still unresolved, we genuinely want to help — please reach out to us at support@coingate.com
and we will recheck everything immediately.

Thank you again for your feedback.

Late Bitcoin payment resolved perfectly thanks to support

I had a tricky situation: my BTC payment got stuck in the mempool and confirmed only after the 20-minute checkout address expired. The funds were held by CoinGate and the original invoice at the merchant was already closed.
The support team (especially Jurgita) was patient, responsive and stayed with me through the whole process. In the end everything was successfully resolved — the payment reached the merchant without me having to pay twice.
Not the fastest process (because of the expired address), but the team did everything correctly and professionally. I’m very happy with the final result.
Thank you, CoinGate!

Hidden fees not disclosed at the advertised price

Your instructions for the whole process was clear and straight to the point without any ambiguity like in the past. The one thing that was questionable was the pricing stated initially US$49. My final paid price was US$56+. I understand there was EU$ rate conversion but still there were some hidden fees not stated at the beginning.

CAUTION and beware before uploading…

CAUTION and beware before uploading…
CAUTION and beware before uploading personal documentation with this company. After a lengthy review and numerous valid and official documents being transferred, we never heard back from the account manager Modestas. The process starts off like any other onboarding KYC but quickly realize shilled tactics and they never end up approving accounts despite all relevant documentation being provided.

Don't waste your time, we moved over to Cryptomus and got approved within 24 hours, integration with WHMCS is flawless at 1% commission rate accepting over 40 different coins.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and I’m sorry to hear about your experience.

We understand how disappointing it can be when an onboarding process doesn’t lead to approval, especially after providing all requested documents. In some cases, we are not able to onboard a business due to internal eligibility requirements. These cases are not related to the documents you provided, but simply to whether the business falls within the regions and service scope we currently support.

Our team did review your application and provided an explanation at the time. We always aim to make this process as clear as possible, and we appreciate your patience throughout it.

Thank you again for your feedback — it helps us continue improving the onboarding experience. If you ever need clarification or wish to revisit the decision in the future, feel free to reach out.

Kind regards,
CoinGate Support

Perfect. Bought some PSC. They even have an AI help bot that actually helps pretty well, orders are a bit slow but that's normal with crypto payments. Will definitely use again. Thanks
