Regulated vs No-KYC Crypto Gateways: The Legal Line

Choosing a non-custodial payment gateway removes a real set of onboarding steps. It removes exactly one category of them: the checks a platform performs because the platform is legally required to know who its account holders are. It removes none of the obligations that attach...

Accept DAI Payments: DAI vs USDT vs USDC for Merchants

Yes, you can accept DAI, and on our gateway it costs nothing extra to switch on: DAI runs on the same flat 0.8% per transaction as every other asset we support, on ERC-20 only. The honest part of the answer is what comes next. DAI...

BTCPay vs BlockBee vs BitHide: Self-Hosted Compared

If you are comparing BTCPay Server, BlockBee and BitHide for a self-hosted crypto payment setup, the first thing to fix is the premise: only two of the three are self-hosted, and the one that is most often lumped in with the others is not. BTCPay...

Payment MCP Servers Compared: PayPal, Stripe, Coinbase

If you are looking for an MCP server that lets an AI agent touch payments, three vendors ship something official and usable today: Stripe, PayPal, and Square. Each exposes a different amount of your account, authenticates differently, and treats sandbox testing differently. Coinbase also ships...

Crypto Batch Payouts for Contractors and Affiliates

Aurpay's REST API covers payin and payout. It does not include a spreadsheet uploader, a payroll product, or conversion into local currency. Your recipient receives tokens at an address they control, and everything between "here is a list of 300 people" and "300 confirmed transactions"...

Adding Crypto as a Rail to Your Existing Payment Stack

If you already run Stripe or Adyen plus two or three regional acquirers, adding crypto does not require an orchestration layer and will not reduce your gateway count. Crypto is a global rail with no regional variants: it sits beside your existing processors as one...

No Crypto Payment Plugin for Your Platform? 3 Real Options

If you run Magento, Wix, or Squarespace and you have been searching for a crypto payment extension, the honest answer is that Aurpay does not have a native integration for any of those three. Neither do most of the gateways whose marketing pages imply otherwise....

Which Big Brands Actually Accept Crypto Directly in 2026

Marriott does not accept cryptocurrency. Neither does Hilton. If you search either question you will find dozens of pages that imply otherwise, and every one of them is describing a gift card bought from a third party, not a payment the hotel receives. The gap...

Crypto Order Fulfillment: Shipping, Customs and Refunds

Almost every guide to accepting crypto stops when the payment confirms. That is the halfway point. Nobody documents what happens next: how many confirmations before you print a label, what happens to the shipping cost between checkout and dispatch, what number goes on the customs...

Underpaid, Overpaid, Wrong Chain: Crypto Payment SOP

With a non-custodial gateway, by the time a customer opens a support ticket the money is already in your wallet. No processor is holding it, no dispute queue exists, and nothing can be reversed. So every payment exception — short, over, late, wrong chain —...

Crypto Payment Gateway Development Cost: Build vs. Buy

If you are pricing a build-versus-buy decision on crypto checkout, the honest starting point is that nobody can hand you a credible dollar figure for building one, and any article quoting a range made it up. Development cost is your loaded engineering cost times engineer-months,...

Stablecoin Transaction Fees: ERC-20 vs TRC-20, Measured

When a customer pays you in USDT or USDC, the blockchain network fee is paid by their wallet, not yours. You receive the full token amount at your own address. That is the short answer to the question most merchants are actually asking, and it...
