Hello everyone,

I am selling a service on my website (subscription) that costs 5$, and I want to add a crypto payment processor, Mainly (BTC-LTC-ETH).

the problem is that I've seen a lot of payment processors and most of them I don't guarantee or either has AML/KYC crap.

I am currently choosing between "blockonomics" or "mycelium gear", do you recommend any of them?

Now I need to know what you guys would suggest I would use/do in this case?


If it helps, my application is in node.js.

Have you figured out a solution for this? Any update?

Stay away from Bitpay that's for sure.

Try to make BTCpay work first, If you fail ( I don't really think you can tbh, there are many guides shows you how to set it up), go find something else.

Remember, No Bitpay.

Install a full node on your computer.
Go to console to type "getnewaddress" that's your Bitcoin address.

Now you can ask people to send payments to this address.

Done. Peer to Peer, no fees, no complication.

You're right with what you said but the OP is looking for a crypto payment processor which will do all the payment processing on his behalf and I will recommend the Blockchain.com API as the best option if the OP doesn't see it as a complicated procedure.

I recommend you to use Blockchain.com API
It is free, stable enough and you can hire a freelancer on Upwork for $5-10 only...
Nice solution and very famous service. Api key is available on request (within 2-3 days they'll send).

Do all the services you offer cost 5$ or small amounts? If so, relying on a third party will be a waste of money even if the offer is good.
I suggest you in this case:

 - BTCPay Server: Accept LN payment (save fees) or using Altcoin payment since many will use it to make payments (a few will use BTC payment.)
 - blockonomics: This is the best choice of your list.

If you offer a lot of services which may be at higher prices it is better to pay using a third party such as https://coingate.com/accept-bitcoin

If you know how to code, then I would probably recommend using Blockchain.info (or some similar API), and just construct your own version. It's really not that difficult.

1. Create an address for the specific user, bind that address to the user.
2. Watch payments to that address, and add the balance to the users account.

You can do this quite easily w/ the Blockchain API:
https://www.blockchain.com/api/api_receive

Specifically, look at the callback requests.

I suggest you to use gourl.io . I am using it and its fine. I can implement it to your site for a small fee also if you want.

These third-party services will run/deploy BTCPayServer on your behalf. You won't need to buy a hosting server or run bitcoin full node but you will clearly have some limitations as you can read on that article.
Bitpay, coinpayments are some. But I hate them as much as I do paypal. And recent times I heard coinpayments are restricting some countries too. Bitpay already have some countries block.

By the way OP, if I am not wrong then you can try Blockchain.com API if you want. Again there are limitations.

The third one seems interesting.

3. Accept Payments Manually

One of Bitcoin’s main selling points is that you don’t need to rely on third-party services to use them. If you want to, you can accept Bitcoin payments on your website without having to go through another platform.

The process is relatively simple – just generate a Bitcoin address for each sale you make on your site, and provide instructions for how much money people should send. You’ll receive the coins in your wallet, and you can process the order as soon as the transaction is confirmed.

Of course, if you use this method, you’ll have to take care of invoicing and billing on your own. You’ll also need to arrange delivery for any items or services you sell, and provide payment addresses manually. This is potentially a lot of work, but it does cut out the middleman. That makes this method ideal for websites that only need to accept Bitcoin payments from time to time, or that see small sales volumes.

Have you heard about BTCpay server? This is one of the alternatives that I currently used for now it seems fine and they also support lightning network.

Here is the official website https://btcpayserver.org/

You can also check this list of a self-hosted and hosted payment processor with info from here https://github.com/alexk111/awesome-bitcoin-payment-processors

I've seen  BTCpay server but its a bit complicated to me to go into the process of deployment.

I've already seen the Github repo and only choose three processors to go with ( Blockonomics, Savvy, Payscrypt ) as they are the only ones in the list that won't ask for documents and the latter two are not working. So, that only leaves me with "Blockonomics".
