** If it was this easy, why everyone wants to use 3rdparty merchant?? cant they use their own electrum? or is there any security reason?

However since you are using a separate block explorer to confirm receipts, you should be ok,
just be sure to wait 3 to 6 confirmations to be sure it's valid and never trust the electrum wallet without verifying with the block explorer and you should be ok.

Good Luck. 

Oh I updated a question about block.io. what are they charging really? and why should I pay?
same with blockcypher. why we need to pay to use their api?
