Getting startedHow to get paid in crypto without a websiteA checkout is a URL, not a project. Payment links and hosted storefronts, automatic delivery of files and licence keys, and the invoice workflow for billing a client in crypto.
OperationsCrypto chargebacks and refunds: the merchant's playbookFinality removes the bank from the middle — and hands you every decision it used to make. The refund policy to write, the seven payment accidents that actually happen, and the fraud that replaces friendly fraud.
Privacy & no-KYCHow to accept crypto payments without KYCThe complete map of KYC-free acceptance: what “no KYC” really means, the three routes that exist, what each costs you in ops or fees, and how to be running in half an hour.
Privacy & no-KYCAccepting Monero: the merchant's guide to private paymentsXMR customers are the most loyal in crypto because almost nobody serves them. How Monero works at the checkout, why gateways abandoned it, and what proper support looks like.
Fees & costsCrypto payment gateway fees: the real mathHeadline rates are marketing; the bottom of the fee stack is the truth. We compute the all-in cost of the major gateways on real basket sizes — including the fees that don't look like fees.
StablecoinsAccepting stablecoin payments: USDT, USDC & DAICrypto payment volume is mostly dollars now. Which stablecoin to lead with, which network matters (it's not the one you think), and how settlement in digital dollars changes your operations.
IndustriesCrypto payments for “high-risk” industriesHigh-risk is a chargeback statistic, not a moral judgment. Why banks price lawful verticals out of card rails, and how final, identity-free on-chain settlement rewrites that math.
