Crypto.com Pay takes ETH at checkout, with a 10-minute payment window and no Laters.com surcharge. Paying from an external wallet such as MetaMask or Ledger means you cover the network fee. A refund can come back in ETH, minus network fees, but no timeline is supplied. A payment sent in ETH cannot be reversed, and funds sent on an unsupported network are not refunded.

Coin Choice9/10
ETH is accepted, and Crypto.com Pay also takes USDC, USDT and BTC among others. Crypto.com's list names six networks for ETH. Held below 10: the longest coin list applies through the Crypto.com App, and on-chain choices are narrower.
Fees8/10
Laters.com adds no surcharge, and Crypto.com Pay charges no extra conversion fee. Held below 9: a traveler paying from an external wallet such as MetaMask or Ledger bears the network fee, and the facts give no amount.
Payment Speed7/10
The payment window is 10 minutes by default, and a payment arriving after the session counts as late. That short window, with no confirmation count supplied, keeps this at 7. A late payment is returned minus the blockchain fee.
Refunds8/10
ETH is one of five refund currencies, so an ETH payment can come back as ETH, minus blockchain network fees. Held below 9: no refund timeline is supplied, and refunds go to an address you choose, not the paying one.
