    Hey Fastlaners, Been lurking here for years, finally built something worth sharing. The problem I solved: Accepting crypto payments is a nightmare. Customers need wallets, gas fees confuse everyone, merchants receive 15 different tokens. It's 2026 and we are moving more and more to adopting...

    Hey @Ravens_Shadow appreciate this was a while back but do you guys accept crypto payments yet? Curious if that's something your customers have asked for or would be interested in/open to?

    That said, lots of iGaming operators are based in Malta, Cyprus, and Gibraltar specifically because the regulatory environment is more crypto-friendly. Those jurisdictions are our initial focus as there is less friction to get started while we build out compliance for US/EU down the line.

    KYC is handled through our verification partners at onboarding. We're non-custodial so funds transfer wallet-to-wallet, but take compliance seriously and verify merchants before they go live. It's a complex space and we're working with advisors to ensure we're set up properly as we scale.

    ah sorry for the confusion, so for crypto-native they can pay in any token and it gets swapped to USDC for the merchant. For non-crypto users they just sign up with an email, embedded wallet is created, they just fund it and click pay, so they don't need to setup a wallet or worry about seed...

    Exactly this. I feel the store of value was great for some crypto assets but then Stablecoins came along but it was too painful to use — wallets, gas fees, seed phrases, confirmations. That's what I'm trying to fix. Make it feel simple, but it's USDC on the backend. Merchants get instant...

    SaaS progress: Until I succeed

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Haven't used Dodo myself, so can't compare directly. Stripe is the safe bet — reliable, great docs, everyone uses it. If you ever need a crypto payment option alongside (for international customers or lower fees), I've been building something in that space. But for standard card payments...

    FEEDBACK 
    Hey, saw you're looking at payment options. Stripe is solid for traditional payments, but if you ever want to accept crypto (or offer it as an option for international students who don't have easy card access), I've been building Settlr — simple crypto checkout, customers can pay with email...

    Thanks for the questions! Payments: Two options — crypto-native users pay with any wallet they have, OR new users sign up via email (we create an embedded wallet behind the scenes) and fund instantly via MoonPay. Works for experienced users and beginners alike. Fees: Tiered by volume — higher...

    Stripe Blocked Payments

    CHAT QUESTION 
    Hey, did you ever get to the bottom of this? This is exactly why I built Settlr — stablecoin payments for businesses Stripe considers "high risk." Instant settlement, no chargebacks, no random blocks. If you're still looking for alternatives, happy to chat or answer any questions.
