Title: Is there something simple like Stripe but for crypto payments?
Post by: unicool on December 30, 2019, 04:55:31 AM
Hi !
Everything is in the title.
I am looking for something very simple to allow all crypto payments in my website.
I am looking for something that works fine with javascript and modern websites in general.
Can anybody help ?
Thank you

You can google "crypto payment processor" and you will get many results for what you are looking for. Once you select one (or more) potential payment processors you consider doing business with, you can perform due diligence on each of them.

The only thing I would recommend is to not do business with BitPay due to their mandatory KYC after fairly low thresholds of payment values.

You'll be looking at crypto-payments.net. They offer a wide range of crypto currency for users to pay with and is relatively easy to implement and stable. Alot of merchants are using them too.

Likely BTCPay is the best option for you, here is the official website; https://btcpayserver.org/  (https://btcpayserver.org/). You may also read related documents here ; https://docs.btcpayserver.org/ (https://docs.btcpayserver.org/)

It will allow you to accept crypto payment without third party if you use self hosted server. You will be allowed to receive fund through lightning network if you use self hosted server. If you don't have much technical knowledge about it then you may use their party host listed on the website (https://docs.btcpayserver.org/deployment/thirdpartyhosting). You will not face any trouble like KYC verification. It's a open source platform with ZERO fee. If still you think its complicated then you have to use their party API like coinbase for simple solution, but you will face many trouble including KYC verification. On the other hand, using third party API means your fund isn't controlled by you.

The most popular BTC payment processors I know are either Bitpay or Coinbase commerce both of which are just a copy/paste away for you to apply their payment processor in your website. But a lot of members here are not recommending both mainly because of the high fees involve which would be very unappealing for your customers aside from high fees there is also an issue about their reliability.

Bitpay and coinpayments are you best bets, unless you can somehow build payment infrustructure yourself which from your post you're probably not willing to.

Although you have to be warned, Bitpay doesn't necessarily have the best reputation around here in terms of their reliability so you really need to take their claims with a grain of salt in mind.

I haven't really heard anything ultra negative about coinpayments, so I'd assume that they are safe to use although their brand is obviously a lot smaller than Bitpay's.

Quite contradicting. First BitPay is one of OP's best bets, then you warn him that they don't have a good reputation.  ::)

Another point of importance is that BitPay doesn't allow anyone to accept Bitcoin without KYC. Most people looking to accept Bitcoin on their site aren't willing to go through such requirements, and that's perfectly understandable.

In case OP isn't interested in BTCPay, Coingate (https://coingate.com/) accepts Lightning payments and a variety of altcoins. They do not require KYC to accept crypto, but do require KYC to have the crypto be converted to fiat and sent to your bank account. If you just stick to accepting crypto you'll be fine. Coingate offers free Bitcoin withdrawals too, which is pretty neat.

 I can vouch for coinpayments.net as well, I ran a trading bot affiliate website once and I used coinpayments.net for it and even tho my website tanked and was horrible, the system was good and it was used few times and it worked, people had a chance to pay with like over hundred different coin options, so to all customers I had that wanted to pay with something else I told them they could do via coinpayments.net, there were 2 that I clearly remember wanted to pay with Dash and Neo and I wasn't using them at the time (still don't that much) and they paid via that.

 Coinpayments option of getting paid any crypto no matter what others give is great, they pay you ethereum but you get bitcoin type of system should be turned into fiat as well, shops will accept bitcoin but they will get fiat instead of bitcoin, that could increase the adoption.

I know you're not commenting on it here. But I did use BitPay for sometime for a few businesses that I manage, it's brutal. They require a good deal of informatiion from the company that is going to be accepting crypto. I understand why they have to do it, but it's rough having to get decades old paperwork from the IRS because BitPay has antiquated ways of verifying business ownership.

Coingate it is from here on out, thanks for that.
