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.

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.

Governments and Banks create wars, launder money, support child labor and human trafficking. They're also filled with drug addicts and pedophiles.

By comparison, I'm a *scum bag* PORNOGRAPHER.

Since 1997 I have helped countless Single moms pay their bills... Couples earn enough money to get their own home... Young people pay for a college education... And even few people start their own business. (ie: I have improved the lives of others)

The ONLY business rules that I support are : 1) Pay our bills 2) Don't cheat anyone 3) Treat those who work for us with respect 4) Don't do anything that could get someone hurt 5) Everything must only involve consenting adults


Every one of the assholes who preach about compliance with regulations is a coward and should NOT be rewarded by doing business with them.

The only questions that ANY and ALL moral businesses should be asking is. "What is the bare minimum I have to do to keep the government from breaking down my door?" -- "How do I get around those rules for the benefit of my clients?"

you could end up with "dirty" coins that will be blocked in the future.

You use Monero.

Yeah, that’s the problem with centralized services like Cryptomus. Once they block or hold your funds, they’ll usually ask for KYC.
If you want to avoid such issues, it’s better to stick with more privacy-friendly options — here’s a that might help.

But why should I, which has done nothing wrong, provide KYC and getting risk being dragged into problems?
If the funds I'm sending is flagged high risk because of coinjoins that might contains traces of stolen coins, I risk LEA knocking on my door questioning me why I'm involed in stolen coins...?
Why don't you simply return the funds back to the senderaddress instead of keeping them? What difference will a KYC do?

KYC and compliance procedures are not meant to target honest users, but to ensure that all transactions are transparent and secure. These measures help prevent misuse of the system for illicit activities and protect both businesses and customers from legal risks. Returning funds automatically isn’t always possible due to regulatory requirements, but with proper KYC, your transactions can proceed safely and reliably, minimizing the chance of being questioned by authorities.

KYC and compliance procedures are not meant to target honest user

But they do.

Doesn't the fact that the TX easily can be identified as Coinjoin (which is not illegal) prove a user is honest and innocent? Those coins has been sent to the user by pure random, even if they contain traces of stolen funds, the coinjoin itself proves the user has nothing to do with those stolen funds. Requiring KYC because some AMLs flags them as high risk, maybe because of stolen coins, makes no sense.
Coinjoins should be whitelisted, not blacklisted - as long as they're still legal by law.

You are correct that CoinJoin itself is a privacy tool and not illegal. However, compliance procedures are designed to follow regulatory requirements and risk assessments, which sometimes flag transactions even when users act honestly. KYC isn’t meant to accuse anyone of wrongdoing—it’s a way to ensure that all funds moving through the platform comply with laws and protect both users and the service from potential liability. While CoinJoin transactions are legitimate, regulatory frameworks often require additional verification to process funds safely.

Use Monero, and NEVER EVER show any form of ID to any random site.

There's no such things as "false positive" in the world of AML?
What's the purpose behind KYC for such a transaction to "process the funds safely"?

In the world of AML, “false positives” do exist. Even if a transaction is technically legal, certain patterns—like CoinJoin—can trigger alerts in automated monitoring systems. KYC helps us ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and allows us to process funds securely without risk to the platform, the users, or our partners. It’s not about assuming wrongdoing—it’s about maintaining a safe and trusted environment for all.

Crypto is a great way for making payments, we already accept BTC and some other crypto currencies as a payment method, and its secure and an easy transaction for clients too.
