Your Customers Already Use Crypto, and So Do Your Payment Tools

Still life at golden hour: a card-fee jar overflowing with coins next to a crypto jar with a small neat stack — card fees of 2.5–3.5% vs closer to 1%.

Your customers are already using crypto, and some are asking to spend it with you. The platforms you use every day, PayPal, Square and Stripe, have built crypto support into their dashboards. Crypto is not coming; it is here. Accepting it is where most businesses start, and it is often where the first saving shows up: card fees usually run 2.5 to 3.5% a sale, and crypto can bring that closer to 1%^[1]. Acceptance is also just the first step. Later it opens up cheaper international supplier payments, which Module 8 covers. This module shows how and why it works.
