Pay Webbae directly in crypto, skip the marketplace tax.
Webbae is a digital marketing and SEO agency that accepts cryptocurrency payments, USDT, USDC, Bitcoin (BTC), and Ethereum (ETH), directly from clients, with no Upwork or Fiverr middleman. You work one-to-one with senior specialists, and the 22 to 35 percent that marketplaces charge in fees stays in the work.
More of your budget goes into the work
You do not always need a marketplace between you and the people doing the work. Paying a results-focused agency directly, in crypto, removes the platform layer entirely.
Keep the 22 to 35 percent
Marketplaces consume roughly a quarter to a third of project value in fees and friction. Work direct and that margin goes into results, not platform commission.
Work one-to-one
You deal with senior specialists or a dedicated team that owns your outcome, not whoever happened to win a gig. Accountability, not transaction volume.
Borderless and fast
Crypto settles globally in minutes, with no cross-border bank delays, FX spreads, or withdrawal fees. Useful for our UK, UAE, Australia, and global clients.
Stable if you want it
Pay in USDT or USDC for zero volatility between the quote and the payment. Every invoice is denominated in USD, so the price you agree is the price you pay.
Where your money actually goes
Hire through a marketplace and roughly a quarter to a third of the budget is consumed before any work is done. Work with Webbae directly and that goes into results.

Three steps to pay in crypto
1. Agree scope and a USD quote
You get the same transparent pricing as any client and pick your engagement: a specialist, a dedicated team, or a one-off project. Nothing about crypto changes the price.
2. Get a crypto invoice
We send a processor-generated invoice. Choose USDT, USDC, BTC, or ETH and the network. The crypto amount is locked at the exchange rate at the moment you pay.
3. Pay and get a receipt
Funds settle on-chain in minutes. You receive an on-chain receipt plus a USD invoice for your records, and the work starts.
USDT, USDC, Bitcoin, and Ethereum
Pay in a stablecoin for a fixed USD value, or in BTC or ETH settled at the spot rate. The exact network is confirmed on your invoice.
USDT (Tether)
USD-pegged stablecoin. No volatility between quote and payment. The simplest option for most invoices. Confirm the network on your invoice.
USDC
Regulated USD stablecoin. Same no-volatility benefit as USDT, often preferred by US and EU clients.
Bitcoin (BTC)
The most recognised cryptocurrency. Priced in USD and settled in BTC at the spot rate when you pay.
Ethereum (ETH)
Widely held. Same USD-denominated, settle-at-spot handling as Bitcoin.
Documented, denominated in USD, no surprises
Every invoice is denominated in USD. Payments are processed through a regulated crypto payment processor that issues on-chain and USD receipts, so each transaction is documented for your records. Webbae operates from Dubai, UAE, a jurisdiction with a clear regulatory framework for digital assets.
This is a payment option, not financial or tax advice. Please follow the cryptocurrency tax and reporting rules that apply in your own country.
