I want to start accepting cryptocurrencies as payment for my business. How?

Question

My preference is Ethereum over Bitcoin due to the high transfer fees involved with Bitcoin. I'm definitely open to many options as I'm still exploring this possibility.
What apps or systems are highly recommended? 
 Billing amounts will be either around $50 or between $500-$2k.

You can accept Bitcoin payments through JotForm with the help of the newly implemented Paymentwall integration. See how: https://www.jotform.com/help/490-How-to-integrate-Paymentwall-with-your-form

First of all, almost anyone pays with crypto these days.

What I did for my startup was to just list my wallet addresses for different cryptocurrencies and ask users to e-mail me after payment.

It may sound stupid, but I tried CoinBase and it's API is super broken not to mention it exchanges so you don't have much control of your money.

You can choose any wallet or even generate your own paper wallet. You can see how I did it here:

It works and I have received several payments via Bitcoin but it's like 0.01% of all Iris payments so you don't need automation for this.

Another thing is that crypto is volatile so you need to place some pricing which guarantees you will have some revenue. I prefer to add high pricing for crypto since most money coming from it are either from miners or people who want to avoid taxes.

For the wallet I use Exodus. Seems nice and you can export your private keys.

Answer

Seems to provide LTC, BTC, ETH and now also XRP payment options :) LTC and XRP definetly more tempting regards the transaction costs and time.

Just discovered and hunted this. Looks useful as you aren't limited to the coins you can accept.

Wide support of alternative cryptocurrencies and lots of integrations

Answer

You can ask some app and web developing firms. They are dealing with things like that. I was using https://weblium.com to develop an online shop and they did cryptocurrency as a payment for my business site.

Stripe does accept BTC but converts it to your native currency immediately. (I'm unclear if you want to accept or accept and keep in crypto format)

Dairon Medina · Answer

I think Stripe now supports bitcoin payments. Also https://gear.mycelium.com is pretty simple.
