Why you should start accepting crypto payments?

[Cryptomus]

With the world changing faster than ever – geopolitics shifting, markets expanding, and digital services booming – it's no surprise that more and more online businesses are turning their attention to crypto payments. Hosting providers, SMM panels, gaming sites, online stores – they're already on board. And if you're still on the fence, thinking it's "too complicated" or "not for me" – keep reading. You might be surprised.

First of all, crypto is your golden ticket to the global market. No borders, no banking hours, no middlemen. Whether your client is in Berlin or Bangkok, they can pay you instantly – even while you sleep. Imagine offering that kind of freedom and speed without jumping through hoops.

Now let's talk money. Traditional payment processors love their fees. Crypto? Not so much. Especially when it comes to international transactions, you could be saving a noticeable chunk on every single payment. And that adds up fast – particularly if you're running a high-volume digital business.

Worried about security? Good. You should be. But here's the thing: blockchain technology is designed to be tamper-proof. Transactions are transparent and irreversible – no chargebacks, no fraud headaches. Of course, you'll want to pick a trustworthy gateway to handle the payments – but more on that in a moment.

Another big win? A new kind of audience. Over 500 million people around the world already use crypto – and many of them actively seek out businesses that accept it. By offering this payment option, you're not just keeping up – you're getting ahead, attracting clients who value privacy, innovation, and speed.

And no – you don't need a tech team or legal department to set it up. Most crypto gateways offer plug-and-play solutions that integrate with popular CMS platforms like WordPress, WooCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop, or OpenCart. It takes 10 minutes. No code. No stress.

So, what is next? Connect a crypto payment gateway. It acts as a middleman – collecting payments, securing them, converting them if needed – and getting the funds to you. When choosing one, look at fees, supported coins, ease of setup, and reputation.

But enough from us – what do you think? What are the biggest advantages of accepting crypto payments in your eyes? And are there any downsides you're concerned about? Let's talk.

Don't like Crypotmus.

They blocked a coinjoined BTC $150 transaction for me and asked for KYC.

it is good for buying stuff on internet but how you would buy bread (in my case beer) in real life outside internet :D ?

We don't block our clients' funds for no reason. We have strict AML and KYC policy as the most reputable crypto platforms. Most likely your transaction was marked as high risk and blocked. To get your money back, you have to complete KYC and provide information about the source of your funds. You can contact our support team to resolve this issue.

That's a good question Сrypto isn't widely used for everyday shopping or offline purchases yet, but there are examples of countries like the UAE where you can buy real estate or book flights with crypto.

The main issue with offline crypto payments is blockchain fees. Buying a burger with Bitcoin can be quite expensive. But who knows? Maybe one day this problem will be resolved and we'll be able to pay for IPA with memecoins. It would make a great international payment method (non memecoins but crypto in general)

Why? Because , Crypto payments can offer benefits like lower fees, faster transactions, and increased privacy. They also provide greater control over your funds. However, they can be more volatile and less regulated than traditional payment methods.

Source of coins was coinjoined. I don't know which AML check you're using, but it ain't the only one that wrongly flags coinjoined funds as high risk.
It was just €150. I'm not gonna KYC for that amount.

And provide source of funds for coinjoined funds, how is that supposed to work?

I suggest you rather have a chat with your AML provider and ask them to make exeptions for coinjoined funds. Like it shoulds be.

For now, I avoid Cryptomus like the plague.

I totally understand your point. Unfortunately, Coinjoined is considered a mixer by many AML providers - mixed money usually involves dirty tokens. I'm not sure when your transaction was made, but currently you can't use Cryptomus without completing KYC anyway. Cryptocurrency is becoming more regulated every year, so maintaining total anonymity is becoming more difficult if you use centralised platforms

I 100% agree with you! Do you already use cryptocurrency for payments?

If you don't do KYC better, KYC is bad mistake that a company should do. Hope you stay free of KYC.

It was few months ago.
I don't use Cryptomus, but one of my server vendors use it for processing payments, which was when my payment was blocked and I was asked to undergo KYC.

I pay lots of BTC (coinjoined) invoices each month, never had any gateways blocking my payments before.
I've had a few exchanges blocked some coinjoined BTC, but they've always returned my btc back to me without any KYC. Cryptomus didn't do that.

I'm curious though, payments that are blocked - what happens to the funds? Do they remain locked forever, or do Cryptoms eventually take ownership over them when users doesn't do KYC to get them returned?

It’s great that you haven’t faced many issues with Coinjoin so far, but that’s more of a lucky situation. Coin mixing is increasingly drawing the attention of law enforcement because it's typically linked to illegal activities. This is why it's often blocked by AML providers. Some services using Coinjoin have been shut down by authorities in the EU and US for money laundering and many exchanges have stopped supporting it. As regulations tighten, you may encounter more blockages on other platforms. If using this tool is important to you, you may need to choose services that handle high-risk transactions (Cryptomus is not one of them).

Cryptomus doesn't take ownership of clients' funds. Depending on the situation, the funds may either remain blocked or undergo further investigation.

What’s wrong with KYC? Many platforms use it to comply with regulations. KYC helps fight financial crime and money laundering. I understand it can be inconvenient and may conflict with decentralization, but if you're using crypto for daily transactions without high risk, it’s an important tool to protect both users and companies in the long run.

Hi,

You are using Crypto currencies, where the proposit and the benefit of Crypto is to be "Anonymous" with the freedom.
KYC being applied to Crypto payments is not fully correct, you will lose customers.

Everyone knows that cryptocurrencies have gained popularity due to privacy, total control over the currency, and security.

By doing KYC, you kind of eliminate the reason why Bitcoin exists. In that case, when doing KYC, what would motivate people to use digital currencies? Well, it certainly won't be for privacy.

If there really is any danger, let the authorities deal with it first and then you can request KYC. It makes perfect sense in this format.
If we are going to do KYC, we might as well use other common means of payment...

Hello, thanks for your detailded reply!

We don't require KYC for payments through our gateway. If a user wants to pay on our merchant's website, they don't need to complete KYC, unless the transaction fails the AML check. In that case, KYC will be required for investigation and return.

However, KYC is mandatory for merchants. If you want to accept crypto payments, you'll need to complete it. If you're a business owner looking to operate legally, this shouldn't be an issue.

Crypto offers many benefits beyond anonymity. The space is complex, and if you want to follow Bitcoin's original idea, you should avoid centralized custodial platforms. This is because, by using such platforms, you are essentially trusting someone else with your funds.

As crypto gains popularity, more people are using it for reasons other than total anonymity. They value the ability to pay worldwide, the opportunity to earn by trading or staking, low fees, and fast transactions. These benefits are more appealing to most people than full control and anonymity. Achieving full privacy and control requires extra effort, and it is simply easier to use centralized, trustworthy platforms that take care of private keys and security measures.

There are two types of audiences: those who prioritize complete privacy and control, and those who appreciate the other benefits of crypto. For the latter group, traditional banking systems are often more intuitive. We focus on this audience, and this sector is being regulated. KYC and AML are part of these regulations, making crypto safer for people using centralized platforms.

No, KYC is not mandatory for merchants.

 

[HipHorray]

1st : You switch to crypto because of all the bullshit censorship that's happening.

2nd : FUCK the KYC ! I literally posted that I would pay CASH for crypto on craigslist. By the evening, I had met someone in a coffee shop and we did the trade. FACE-TO-FACE.... NO FUCKING KYC !

 

[Cryptomus]

On Cryptomus, KYC is mandatory We follow KYC and AML policies - they are essential for us as a trusted payment gateway

Well, I guess your type of business isn't compatible with KYC, so I understand your frustration with the process

I'm not attacking or trolling you but...

Here's some KYC for you about me : I'm a notorious BITCH and I'm not scared to speak my mind and I'm most often RIGHT on issues.

My stand against KYC has ZERO to do with my business. I just fucking loathe bootlickers. Especially those who happily get on their knees and suck off the government's facist cock. All the while they parade around to the public about how they're "good little boys and girls" who do what their government tells them to do.

Now here's some FYI to go with that KYC:

With all the bullshit that's going on in the world... Something nasty is coming and it's going to be violent. Human history is violent for a reason and it doesn't take much research to see how virtue signalling bootlickers have been treated.

Lastly Some Advice :
Start thinking about keeping your head down and finding ways to avoid complying with the bullshit. Or if you won't do that... Then perhaps stop showing off "how virtuous" your compliance is.

Why should anyone use a KYC gateway for accepting payments when there's just as good non-KYC options tho?

KYC is part of the AML process. Cryptocurrency is regulated, including its use as a payment method. If you want to comply with these regulations, you should use KYC, otherwise, you may face consequences. Many exchanges use KYC and AML, so if you want to use them and avoid blockages, you need to use KYC platforms, as non-KYC platforms usually don't check token status, meaning you could end up with "dirty" coins that will be blocked in the future.

If you want to run your business legally and avoid trouble with high-risk tokens, use KYC platforms. However, if your priority is anonymity, you have a risky business and are prepared for the consequences, then use a non-KYC platform.

There are different types of platform, each with its own pros and cons — you just need to choose the right one for you.
