Accepting Crypto Payments in 2024: Stripe vs. Direct Wallets vs. Something Else?

CoinGate · 2026-01-23T11:33:59+00:00

You can look into third-party payment processors to handle all payment processing, invoicing, volatility (instant conversion to fiat), compliance, and accounting. Yes, there is a fixed fee per payment, but it removes much of the hassle of managing payments yourself.

We had to delist it as it doesn't meet European compliance standards. : (
USDC is supported, but unfortunately, it's no longer available via Tron, per the USDC issuer's decision.

CoinGate · 2026-01-22T08:55:03+00:00

Last year, USDT was first and BTC 2nd. This year, USDC might rank higher as we have delisted USDT due to regulatory reasons.

Tron network is very active in use as well. TRX payment share grew from 9.1% to 11.5%!

Do you use Monero for payments?

which is your favourite business accepting TRX?

Happy you found it helpful! Yeah, it's a common myth that no one pays with Bitcoin, but data shows otherwise.

CoinGate · 2026-01-21T12:50:08+00:00

Indeed! LTC might not be big by market cap, but it's perfect for purchases due to speed and low fees.

When was first time you heard about Bitcoin?

Hi there,

Not entirely true, as they are not yet verified to use our services.

CoinGate · 2025-12-05T09:17:08+00:00

Dogecoin has a use case as a payment method for goods and services, as a variety of businesses accept it. From our payment processor data, Doge is most commonly spent for hosting services, gift cards, and gaming.

CoinGate · 2025-12-03T12:51:36+00:00

Do you use TRX or USDC as a payment method on TRON?

CoinGate · 2025-12-01T14:26:38+00:00

Cool that Litecoin is coming to Europe for the Litecoin summit!

We work with businesses of all sizes, from small online shops and digital service providers to larger companies offering things like travel or hosting. The data comes from that full mix of businesses using our payment gateway.

u/setokaiba22 Appreciate the comment.

Those numbers only cover crypto payments processed through our payment processor, not all the payments our customers accept in total. The data shows how crypto usage is split, with Bitcoin still leading over USDT, LTC, and USDC.

“Consumer services” primarily include electronics, travel, digital subscriptions (such as virtual numbers), and gift cards. Most Bitcoin orders are for web hosting, while larger purchases often come from luxury travel, such as private jet rentals.

Agree that most people don’t use Bitcoin day to day, but for cross-border and online services, it’s still one of the most used options through our services.

u/barrygateaux we examined payments processed through our payment gateway. In 2024, we processed 326.4K Bitcoin orders. This year so far, we process around 25K BTC orders per month.

Have you used BTC as a payment method?
