Coinbase Commerce - Accept BTC, ETH & other digital currencies in your business

[Disclosure: I am an engineer on the Coinbase Commerce team]

Coinbase Commerce's non-custodial payment processor is so exciting, especially for merchants with customers around the world. I can sell my e-books or accept donations across all borders plus it's free to use! Super excited that Coinbase is offering this product free of charge to build up the crypto ecosystem.

Pros:

no one can steal my funds! so easy to set up and no middle man

Cons:

no auto-conversion to fiat yet. bitcoin network fees are still $3+

For me Coinbase helped me jump on board on crypto. They have different mechanisms for security which was awesome so basically it made me fell very safe when doing my first purchase. However the fees were scandalous. I bought 30 USD in crypto and after the initial purchase and sending them to a personal wallet I ended up with 23 USD in bitcoin at the end.

So if you're new and are afraid go for it but I would rather recommend bit panda who just recently introduced Segwit which dramatically reduces fees.

Pros:

Best alternative for crypto newbies

Cons:

Insanely high fees

As someone who had to deal with Coinbase support - which took about two months to get a single reply - I'm excited, but scared.

My team at Cointaxes.com applied for access with a use-case for the service and we were quickly granted a log-in. Excited to get it implemented in our site shortly.

Pros:

Enables accepting digital currency on your platform

Able to create multiple products

Straight forward and easy to implement

Highly secure!

Cons:

Requires use of a third party wallet for withdrawals (Jaxx)

We've been waiting this for a while now. Too bad simple things like refund arent considered yet very easy. Also, quick "bug", but you mention the amount to pay in ETH/LTC... but in € it doesn't include the fees. Which makes pretty much all orders under paid. that must be fixed quickly. Besides this, waiting for withdrawal to be active to propose it on our shop, and transposing payment in fiat, otherwise not interesting for actual businesses.

Any idea when we can see more billing plugins like a WHMCS module?

We just deployed this on our website https://www.wolverinecryptotradi.... Working out the kinks but overall easy to use! Love it!

New Blockchain projects like Stack, Monitha with Fiat support will take over as soon as they are live. Don't see why a merchant want to maintain one service for only crypto another for Crypto+Fiat, unless theres a huge price difference.

Ah this is cool! I've implemented in a website and I was wondering, would it be possible to have an embedded link that doesn't automatically apply styling to the button? I don't want to have to undo the css you guys apply.

Lol, I hope thats a whole ton of bananas for $10!
