What platform do you use for cryptocurrency payments?

[Jujuboy]

With cryptocurrency now being accepted in places like El Salvador, Switzerland, and many other countries around the world, we’re seeing a growing number of payment platforms offering various advantages.

I’m currently exploring some options to find the one that best suits my needs, as I’d like to make most of my transactions through crypto and put its use cases to the test. I believe that in no time, even more countries will adopt crypto payments. What are your thoughts on making payments with crypto, and which platform does you prefer?

Not your key not your coin unless you are a trader and think of spending the profit you made on exchanges instead of transferring it to a noncustodial wallet. But aside that, make sure you leave your money not on exchanges but on noncustodial wallet. So the transaction will be made on noncustodial wallet.

I prefer to use Electrum, Sparrow, Bluewallet for bitcoin. I also use Unstoppable wallet for bitcoin but not all the time. For altcoins I prefer to use Unstoppable wallet.

What do you mean by the platform? Wallets or marketplaces where you can spend bitcoin and cryptos to purchase something you want.

In my country I can't spend bitcoin as it is, I have to use it as giftcards if I really want to purchase but that's inconvenient for me so I just stack until the opportunities comes but in your country the things might be different.

I can give some online stores which accept crypto: https://bitpay.com/directory/

In my geographical area, payment for good and service has not started yet, but I think in near future many online stores and big business will start using crypto as payment options.
Making payments with crypto is the best, though I have not started using it but there are testimonies from many users globally that has shown that crypto payment transactions is seamless, fast, and convenient.
In my opinion, Cryptocurrency transactions are far better than faits, a lot of transactions charges are associated with faits, and this is one of the reasons crypto transactions to he number one options, very reliable and cheap.

If you mean payment gateway or processor when you say "payment platforms", there are many choices such as BTCPay, Coinbase Commerce and Bitpay. I've seen some of them being used by services i use which accept Bitcoin.

Indeed, Bitcoin payments can be integrated into a website using many payment processing systems and all of them have their strengths. The options listed above have indeed been adopted in many sectors and it becomes easier for us to make payments securely and effectively and such options are getting more acceptance by various sevices which supports digital currencies.

Since these platforms are available, we have the ability to select the appropriate service to use. Each provides ease in handling out Bitcoins, so we can enhance every single transaction on the existing platform.

In my country there is no platform that provides payments in crypto currency... if I want to shop I usually use dollars, every time I get bitcoin or altcoin I immediately convert it into dollars so I can shop for my personal and family needs... but I just discovered yesterday The platform builds an Artermis company which runs in the shopping sector like eBay and Amazon. I'm the only company that makes payments using crypto currency and maybe the application will appear in early December.

But I hope crypto adoption rate in your country is similar or close to that of El Salvador and the others?, Because I really doubt if you can achieve such when you live in a country that doesn't use crypto that much. Not every every business in every countries really accepts crypto as payment options, but let's just assume you know that.

As for various platform you've asked, non custodial wallets are more secure, and I believe the first reply above made mention of few that are less expensive. You should probably try them out.

I like paying with crypto for privacy reasons. Although of course, it's not widely accepted but sites like Bitrefill have made it easier to spend crypto — you purchase Amazon gift card and it's literally a place to get a-z items, you can also pay utility bills.

Regarding platform, I don't understand what you mean by that.

It is always safest to use a non-custodial wallet for cryptocurrency payments or holdings because once a transaction is completed in crypto, it cannot be reversed and only through the wallet you cannot identify anyone and if a platform gives you your crypto  Even in case of rejection you cannot get it back which is why you need to use a wallet that has full control only with you.  There is a saying in the field of crypto, not your key not your crypto.  This is why I always use non-custodial wallets and decentralized platforms

Crypto payments are quite interesting especially if crypto is a legally accepted payment method in your region or country. The fact is  currently, majority of online payment portals now that are legit have crypto currencies as part of their accepted payment options. However most cases , the payment options for crypto are usually limited to popular crypto currencies. The most I usually come across is USDT and Bitcoin.

The most important aspect of crypto payments is mostly the removal of that currency barrier. Sometimes the service or item you are paying for may not be priced in your own local currency and instead of trying to buy their currency with yours, you can just make use of crypto to pay saving both conversion stress and fees.

I use some of our local exchanges/custodial wallets for payment purposes. I don't particularly have a favorite or a preference when it comes to a crypto payment platform because almost all of them are the same anyways. They just dress up differently to make it look like they are unique

Payment using crypto is really fun, for altcoin usage I usually use custodial wallet to pay for it, the balance in custodial wallet is never much, and the amount only depends on how much I need to pay for something... in this case the last time I used altcoin wallet to pay was TrustWallet... I exchange my BTC for altcoin in an amount that is enough to pay, never store for a long time and in large amounts in the custodial wallet. and if there is payment using Bitcoin, then Electrum is one of my favorite wallets or if using mobile, I often use BlueWallet...

  I am also agree with your comment in this post. We also know that there are many platform are stable in cryptocurrency market. We can use this platform for cryptocurrency payment in cryptocurrency world. I also think that noncustodial wallet will be best prefer for us. Because we know that noncustodial wallet is also will be best helpful for cryptocurrency payment. Few days ago we also received a payment in x empire project. We can received this payment by bitcoin, so i believe that it also be best way to received payment from cryptocurrency.

What kind of transaction are you trying to make though? Have you tried looking at websites such as kycnotme to see whether those services are required for your activities? Mentioning your region/country would probably help determine how many options are available near where you live unless you're looking strictly for international services.

As for payment platforms, I don't think you can't really choose them as a customer unless you have alternatives. Based on my experience, most stores use 1 payment provider most of the time to save cost. It's hard to imagine they'd run BTCPay Server and Coinpayments at the same time, for example. CMIIW.
