How can I receive Crypto Payments like USDT or BTC when I currently accept PayPal?

Chris Worner · Sep 21, 2023

Hello everyone,

I need some guidance on how to start receiving cryptocurrency payments, particularly in USDT (Tether) or BTC (Bitcoin), when my current payment method is limited to PayPal. One of my clients has expressed a preference for making payments in cryptocurrency, and I want to accommodate their request.

However, I'm unsure about the steps and options available to receive crypto payments, and I'd appreciate your expertise on this matter. Are there any platforms, wallets, or services that can help me seamlessly integrate crypto payments into my business operations?

Your insights and recommendations will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

What billing system do you use? Since bitpay, coinbase, coingate cryptopay.me and many more are available with own module for whmcs, ecomerce etc. Another way is to accept manually coins, open an account with blockchain get the coin addresses from there and provide to customers, once they sent the payment ask them for transaction id and so on.

You can make a payment gateway of your own or use coinpayments and a few other gateways available.
If you make a payment system of your own such as using BTCpay like thing, you will save on fees, which is very good. But, if you do not have much experience about it, then you may use services from a crypto payment service provider.

It varies depending on the billing automation you employ. If you happen to use WHMCS, there are numerous plugins available for this purpose. Additionally, ensure to review your country's tax laws beforehand.

No, I don't use a billing system, I am asking to receive payment directly from my client. I am thinking that I will say to them that they will send cryptocurrency payments to my friend who can receive type of this payment, when they paid, my friend can send payment to me via Paypal. is that a good idea?

You can sign up with well-known cryptocurrency exchanges like Binance and use your wallet address for this purpose. However, it's important to remember that there are multiple ways to convert cryptocurrency into cash or explore similar alternatives. Just ensure that you comply with the financial regulations of your country first.

That's a smart move to offer crypto payment options. You can start by setting up a cryptocurrency wallet for USDT and BTC. For Bitcoin, popular wallets include Coinbase and Blockchain.info. For USDT, you can use wallets like Trust Wallet or Tether's official wallet.

Once you have a wallet, you can generate a unique payment address for each transaction. Share this address with your client, and they can send the crypto directly to your wallet. Make sure to double-check the wallet addresses since crypto transactions are irreversible.

For more seamless integration, you can also explore payment gateways like BitPay or CoinGate, which offer plugins for popular e-commerce platforms like WooCommerce or Shopify.

Remember to stay updated on crypto regulations and tax implications in your area to ensure compliance. Good luck with your crypto journey!
