Payment gateways and anonymity are impossible.  You have to provide some account, a card, bank etc to pay money to.

Many websites like coinbase, [Suspicious link removed], bitpay provides API for gateway payments. However, if we want anonymous payment, this ruins all the anonymity to use a Bitcoin payment gateway. If a website like coinbase has some log, it will record the referral URL, the amount, the date and time, the sending bitcoin address and the receiving bitcoin address. Then, it is easy to trace back to the referral URL and identify where the payment has been made.

What are you thoughts about Payment gateways and anonymity?

thank you.
