Yes, if you object to transaction fees, now there are many network options that provide cheaper transaction fees. Or any coin as long as it is top coins, such as ETH, BNB, and SOL. That's also good. Yes, just make the mechanism like what.

Giving discounts or special prices for buyers who pay with crypto is a pretty good idea. However, is it included in the calculation? Because after all, the OP must also consider the profit that must be obtained, especially for operational funds.

Maybe you can think about how much the nominal or percentage of the price cut is if you use crypto transactions. But this will definitely take some getting used to and may not be easy to do. However, all that just needs is a start, introduction, deeper explanation, and let them start to get interested.

I'm the owner of a laundry and dry cleaning service and am exploring ways to integrate cryptocurrency payments like Bitcoin or Ethereum. Has anyone here successfully implemented crypto payments in a small service-based business?

I am not a business owner, so I haven’t done something of such before and even for those that have integrated that payment method in the past, I can’t say how well it went for them. To use this method of payment, you’ll have to consider many things like advertisement- giving discounts for those using that method to pay. Finding your customers also, in a location where you can get people that can use cryptocurrency as a means of payment.

Setting payment method can be solved in less than a day yet you may still find it hard to find a person willing to pay in BTC or ETH.  Its a good alternative but always make sure to mention you also accept stablecoins.

Adding the option of stable coin will at least make it easier and convincing for people to use that as another payment method. Paying with stable coins are more cheaper compared to using bitcoin or ethereum as a means of receiving their payment. The uncertainty in transaction fees can maybe make it unsuitable for some people to use that method. Including stable coin as another option will be better.

If you are going to use crypto payment in your laundry service you have to consider that Bitcoin is volatile, for me it's better that you should know when the best to accept Bitcoin payment, because in crypto there are what we called bearish and bullish. If you accept Bitcoin in a bearish market you will lose some of your income as the price of Bitcoin continue to fall. However, if you want to avoid losing the value of your cryptocurrency payment, I will suggest you to use stablecoin as your payment such as USDT.

Has anyone here successfully implemented crypto payments in a small service-based business? What challenges should I expect, and which platforms or tools would you recommend for secure and user-friendly transactions?

Integrating crypto payments into small businesses may be a bit more difficult than trying to integrate crypto payments into big businesses simply because many people do not have the culture of using their cryptocurrency, particularly bitcoins, to pay for small things in small shops where fiat can conveniently be used. If you own a laundry shop, and you're trying to encourage people to use cryptocurrency for payments, first of all indicate that crypto currency payment is now accepted, and then rather than accepting crypto payments per clothes laundered, create a form of package where people can pay for a couple of clothes in a form of package with their cryptocurrency.

there are quite some challenges you need to consider mainly is the transaction speed especially if you are to use bitcoin and ethereum for these transactions which are infamously known for having not the fastest transaction speed and having really expensive transaction fees so this is something you have to prepare for

since you are a business owner i am sure you are familiar with taxes and crypto may be a bit of a gray area when it comes to filing taxes depending on your country and how definitive their laws and regulations are when it comes to crypto

as for tools, my recommendation is to just be prepared with different kinds of platforms to accommodate different customers prepare your wallets and exchange platforms and make sure they are reliable and secure

It will be good if OP does not just use only bitcoin because there use go be a time that bitcoin transaction fee will be very high due to attack on the blockchain, that alone will discourage a lot of customers not go pay in bitcoin because your transaction will be stuck in the blockchain and paying $50 for transaction fee when the cost of OP service might not be upto $50

The issue with transaction fees can be solved through Layer-2 solutions, one of which is very popular and widely used: the Lightning Network, with transaction fees of only a few cents instead of tens of $. The bigger issue is legal: if the government bans the use of BTC as a payment method, shop owners could face heavy penalties, even years in prison.

In the case where the government accepts BTC, as in El Salvador, every customer has the right to pay with BTC and shop owners have no right to refuse BTC. We wouldn't have anything else to discuss here ^^

The easiest way to implement crypto payments is likely through a third-party payment processor, and the one you choose will depend on your location.

You can, of course, opt for direct crypto payments as well but in that case you would need enough cash on hand to cover those transactions, which may not be convenient for small businesses

It is true that using a third-party payment processor can be one of the most suitable methods of integrating crypto payments in any business, particularly because such a processor manages the conversion and thus avoids exposure to fluctuations. The type of service will depend with the place one is situated and the respective laws of the country. Yet, the direct acceptance of crypto payments is also an option; however, it may entail enough liquidity to handle fluctuations in the price of crypto coins, which might be disadvantageous to small companies. Thus, the use of the third party is usually more effective and safe compared to the internal means and ways.

First of all I would like to know your region where do you living, And I would also like to know how popular crypto currency is in your country and whether people there use crypto currency.
If people there use cryptocurrency then you can integrate crypto as payment in your laundry service but keep in mind that Bitcoin and Ethereum have volatility which may cause you to face some trouble in future.
If you have to integrate crypto currency as payment in such small business services, then I will ask you to start with stable coins. Later, if you want, you can take payment using Bitcoin and Ethereum, but in this case, you have to use automatic converter tools.

The biggest challenge is probably promoting your business still. Wheter you accept crypto or not, its finding clients is always the first priority for a business.

Setting payment method can be solved in less than a day yet you may still find it hard to find a person willing to pay in BTC or ETH.  Its a good alternative but always make sure to mention you also accept stablecoins.

Exactly, promoting your business is one of the priority . It will be very hard to have someone willing to pay in cryptocurrency but when your business is well established and promoted to find such client to pay won’t be difficult, cause the more your business standard the more your customers and payment system will improve.

Since crypto currency is not yet directly accepted in all countries in a legal way, you will not get service in all countries with crypto payment in business. But if it is accepted in your country then you can introduce crypto payment method in business. But since usdt is a stable coin, it will serve you well. On the other hand when you accept bitcoin or ethereum as payment, the problem can be twofold. Because the price of the bitcoin that will give you through the purchase of consumer goods may increase or decrease. But to do your service in the right way, you have to take service with crypto currency to usdt(any stable coin)

A simple printed crypto address as QR code is enough, or you can just provide the QR code generated from wallet on your phone screen or tablet for bigger screen since laundry service is just a small business. Using third party payment gateways have service fees like 1%, it's probably a huge deduction for small business, so it's not considerable for such business unless it's a huge one.
