I do some consultancy work online and my preferred method of payment is Bitcoin. Sometimes, however, people are simply not able to send Bitcoins directly – only fiat wire transfers. I have been thinking about a fix to this for a while, but haven't been able to come up with something. Is there a way for people to wire money to an exchange/service, that automatically exchanges the fiat to Bitcoin and then to me? I would want to avoid having the wire transfers sent to a bank account in my name, where I then exchange it the fiat to Bitcoin manually. The process of exchanging the fiat wire payment into Bitcoin wouldn't necessarily need to be automatic. But, I would want to avoid using a bank account, especially one in my name, as a middleman to make this possible. Are there any services/exchanges that provides a solution for what I am looking for, while remaining somewhat anonymous?
Kind regards,

Seems like you could use coinbase plugin on your site.
However, there is likely going to be some degree of KYC when purchasing with wire transfers due to fraud. I'm fairly sure that for your customers, this is definitely not for them as they're looking to pay in a fast way, not to sign up to coinbase and get verified and all that whole process. Plus, the rates on coinbase generally aren't that good. There is also a few days delay when it comes to wire transfers.
If that does not work, then I would incentivise the customers by providing a discount when paying for bitcoin, while having a list of bitcoin exchanges which they could potentially use to purchase BTC. As others mentioned due to regulatory issues there is simply not a lot of services that do what you're looking for here.
