Practical guide
Collect freight, forwarding, and customs payments before cargo moves or documents are released.
Logistics payments are tied to cargo, documents, deadlines, and handoffs. A payment can decide whether freight is booked, goods are released, or customs work proceeds.
Crypto can fit international shippers, importers, and cross-border clients who need a faster payment option than bank transfer.
MakePay gives forwarders and logistics teams invoice links tied to shipment references, airway bills, container numbers, or customs files.

Percentage fees hurt on larger freight invoices
Guide
Why shipment payments need operational proof
Cargo movement creates real cost. The team may need paid status before booking space, paying carriers, releasing documents, or handing goods to a consignee.
A payment link with shipment context is easier to reconcile than a transfer with only a customer name.
Documents matter
Payment can unlock bill of lading, customs, or release paperwork.
Storage can accrue
Late payments may create demurrage, storage, or delay fees.
Cross-border shippers fit
Stablecoin payments can bypass some wire timing issues.
