A dash means we found no evidence of support, not that support is impossible. Coin availability at checkout can differ by country and product.
Payment networks
Which network each coin is accepted on, exactly as Surfshark documents it. A coin and a network appearing in the same record does not by itself mean the two go together.
Pay on the cheapest network offered — Surfshark receives the same amount either way, so the fee comes out of your side. Our network comparison covers which to pick.

Payment notes
Verified August 2026: Surfshark states plainly that it does not control which coins are accepted — CoinGate does, and the list can change without notice. Crypto payment is not available on mobile devices. Subscriptions bought with crypto are prepaid fixed terms rather than recurring charges.
Refunds
Surfshark states that for payments made in cryptocurrency, the equivalent amount in US dollars is refunded in the same cryptocurrency, at the exchange rate at the moment of refund. That is a clearer commitment than most providers in this category make.
Stablecoin refunds are outbound payments a merchant chooses to send, not automatic reversals. There is no chargeback.
Surfshark’s distinguishing feature is unlimited simultaneous connections, which changes the economics for households and small teams.
Why unlimited devices matters
Most providers cap simultaneous connections at five or six. For a household with several people and a dozen devices between them, or a small team, that cap is the binding constraint rather than speed or server count.
One subscription covering everything makes the per-device cost fall away, which is a more relevant consideration than any payment detail.
Payment
Prepaid term through a gateway. Coin list follows the gateway. Renewal is manual.
Verification
Payment availability may vary Verified September 2026
Crypto payment is confirmed, but the exact coin list is not fixed — it can depend on your country, the product, which checkout you reach, or which assets the merchant's payment gateway currently enables.
Surfshark's support documentation confirms crypto payment via CoinGate and states explicitly that "the list of supported cryptocurrencies is subject to change based on their availability and CoinGate's policies", that Surfshark "does not directly control which cryptocurrencies are accepted", and that support may be added or removed without notice. Assets listed here are those CoinGate documents for merchants.
