7 Mistakes You're Making with Your Crypto POS System for Small Business (And How Larecoin Fixes Them)

Running a small business is hard enough. Your crypto POS system shouldn't make it harder.

Yet here you are. Bleeding cash on interchange fees. Wrestling with clunky dashboards. Praying your transactions settle before next week.

Sound familiar?

You're not alone. Most small business owners jump into crypto payments without understanding the landmines. They pick a processor because it was first on Google. Then wonder why their margins are shrinking.

Let's fix that.

Here are seven mistakes you're probably making with your crypto POS system, and exactly how Larecoin solves each one.

Mistake #1: Paying Outrageous Interchange Fees

Traditional card processors charge 2.5% to 3.5% per transaction. Some crypto processors? Even worse. Hidden fees. Network surcharges. Conversion markups.

You thought crypto was supposed to save you money.

The reality: Platforms like NOWPayments and CoinPayments still eat into your profits with processing fees that stack up fast. A 1% fee sounds small until you're processing $50K monthly. That's $500 gone. Every. Single. Month.

How Larecoin fixes it: We slash interchange fees by 50% or more. Our gas-only transfer model means you're paying network fees, not middleman markups. Keep more of what you earn. Simple math.

Mistake #2: Using Custodial Wallets (And Losing Control)

Here's a hard truth: If you don't hold your keys, you don't hold your crypto.

Most crypto POS systems force you into custodial setups. Your funds sit in their wallets. Their servers. Their control.

Remember FTX? Celsius? Voyager?

Custodial risk isn't theoretical. It's historical.

The problem with competitors: CoinPayments and NOWPayments both use custodial models by default. Your receivables? Technically theirs until you withdraw. And those withdrawal fees? Yeah, they add up.

How Larecoin fixes it: Full self-custody from day one. Your smart wallet, your keys, your funds. Payments hit your wallet directly. No intermediary holding your revenue hostage. Financial sovereignty isn't a buzzword here: it's the architecture.

Mistake #3: Ignoring NFT Receipts

Paper receipts are dead. Digital receipts clog your inbox. And come tax season? Good luck sorting through that mess.

NFT receipts change everything.

Every transaction becomes an immutable, on-chain record. Timestamped. Verified. Impossible to forge or lose.

Why this matters:

• Instant audit trails

• Simplified tax reporting

• Proof of purchase that lives forever

• Customer trust through transparency

The competitor gap: NOWPayments? No NFT receipts. CoinPayments? Same story. They're stuck in Web2 thinking.

How Larecoin fixes it: Every Larecoin payment can generate an NFT receipt. Automatic. On-chain. Your accountant will thank you. Your auditor will be impressed. Your customers will actually have proof they bought something.

Mistake #4: Accepting Volatile Crypto Without a Stablecoin Strategy

Bitcoin's up 8% today. Down 12% tomorrow.

Great for traders. Terrible for businesses.

You sold a $100 item. By the time you convert to fiat, it's worth $88. That's not payment processing: that's gambling.

The old approach: Accept BTC or ETH directly. Pray the market doesn't tank before you cash out. Hope for the best.

How Larecoin fixes it: Meet LUSD: our stablecoin built for merchants.

LUSD advantages:

• Pegged stability (no 3 AM price anxiety)

• Gas-only transfers (minimal fees)

• Instant settlement

• Cross-chain compatibility

Accept crypto. Receive stability. LUSD gives you the benefits of blockchain without the volatility rollercoaster.

Mistake #5: Choosing a Processor With Hidden Fees

"1% processing fee" sounds clean. Until you read the fine print.

• Network fee: 0.5%

• Conversion fee: 1%

• Withdrawal fee: $2.50

• Monthly maintenance: $25

• "Premium support": $50

Suddenly that 1% became 4%.

Competitor reality check: Both NOWPayments and CoinPayments have fee structures that require a spreadsheet to decode. Multiple tiers. Different rates per coin. Withdrawal minimums. It's designed to confuse.

How Larecoin fixes it: Transparent. Flat. Predictable.

Our LarePAY merchant portal shows exactly what you'll pay. No surprises. No "premium tier" upsells. No calculator required.

Your business deserves a pricing model as honest as your products.

Mistake #6: Locking Yourself Into a Single Blockchain

Ethereum-only? You're missing customers.

Solana-only? Same problem.

Your customers live across chains. Bitcoin maxis. ETH loyalists. Solana speedrunners. BSC bargain hunters.

A single-chain POS system forces customers to bridge, swap, and stress: just to pay you. Most won't bother. They'll bounce.

The competitor limitation: CoinPayments supports multiple coins but makes cross-chain a headache. NOWPayments is better but still clunky. Neither offers seamless bridging.

How Larecoin fixes it: Native cross-chain support. Solana. Ethereum. BSC. Accept payments from any chain. Let customers pay how they want.

Our swap and bridge tools handle the complexity. You just see revenue in your preferred currency. Done.

Mistake #7: Overlooking Gas-Only Transfers

Every middleman takes a cut. That's the traditional model.

But blockchain was supposed to eliminate middlemen. So why are you still paying them?

Most crypto processors charge on top of network gas fees. You pay gas. Then you pay them. Double dipping disguised as "service."

How Larecoin fixes it: Gas-only transfers.

You pay what the network charges. Nothing extra. No Larecoin markup on basic transfers.

LUSD makes this even better: optimized for minimal gas consumption. Send $10,000 or $10. The fee structure doesn't punish you either way.

This is Web3 payments done right.
