Hi. I'm new to Bitcoin, just getting some simple education. Now, I have invested some in Bitcoin, purchasing Bitcoin via Coinbase. I think I understand how to use GDAX enough on the buy/sell part, and getting USD to my bank account.  I'd like to accept Bitcoin in my store.  I'd like for someone to walk up to me and pay with Bitcoin with their phone instantly, and/or have someone pay me while at home on their pc.  But Coinbase has huge fees.  I wanted to test a transaction to someone for $1.00, and the Coinbase fee would be, at the time of this post, $17!  Hardly worth the effort for a test to pay someone or rec pay.  How can someone pay me without the ridiculous Coinbase fees?  If someone wants to pay me $10 USD, it cost them a 17 fee. How to handle this?  Thanks.
