7 Mistakes You're Making with Crypto POS Systems (And How Larecoin Fixes Them)

Crypto POS systems should save you money. Not drain it.

Most merchants switch to crypto payments thinking they'll cut costs. Then reality hits. Hidden fees. Custody nightmares. Zero innovation.

Sound familiar?

You're not alone. The crypto payments industry is flooded with legacy platforms that treat merchants like ATMs. They charge 1-2% per transaction, lock up your funds, and call it "service."

Let's expose the 7 biggest mistakes merchants make with crypto POS systems: and show you exactly how Larecoin fixes them.

Mistake #1: Paying 1-2% Transaction Fees Like It's Normal

The Problem: NOWPayments charges 0.5-1%. CoinPayments hits you with 0.5% plus network fees. These platforms normalize merchant fees like we're still living in the Visa/Mastercard era.

Newsflash: We're not.

How Larecoin Fixes It: Zero merchant fees. Period.

You pay only the blockchain gas fee: typically pennies per transaction. No percentage cuts. No hidden charges. No monthly subscriptions.

A $10,000 monthly volume costs you $100-200 with traditional processors. With Larecoin? Maybe $5-10 in gas fees total.

That's a 95%+ cost reduction.

Mistake #2: Surrendering Custody of Your Crypto

The Problem: Most crypto payment processors are custodial. You receive payments into their wallet. They hold your funds. They control when you can withdraw.

Not your keys, not your crypto.

How Larecoin Fixes It: Complete self-custody from day one.

Payments go directly to YOUR wallet. You control the private keys. You decide when to move funds. Zero counterparty risk.

Larecoin's contactless POS integrates with your existing Web3 wallet. No intermediary accounts. No permission needed to access your own money.

True merchant independence.

Mistake #3: Ignoring NFT Receipts and Customer Engagement

The Problem: Traditional crypto POS systems treat payments like dumb transactions. Money in, money out. Done.

They miss the entire Web3 value proposition.

How Larecoin Fixes It: Every transaction can mint an NFT receipt.

These aren't just digital receipts. They're programmable assets. Loyalty rewards. Collectibles. Proof of purchase for warranty claims.

Your customers build a transaction history they actually own. You build deeper engagement without third-party marketing platforms.

CoinPayments and NOWPayments offer zero NFT functionality. They're stuck in 2017.

Larecoin is built for the metaverse era.

Mistake #4: Accepting Volatile Crypto Without Stablecoin Options

The Problem: Bitcoin and Ethereum are great. Until they're not.

Price volatility kills merchant confidence. You accept 0.05 ETH for a product. Two hours later, it's worth 15% less.

Most crypto POS systems force you to either accept volatility or immediately convert to fiat (with fees).

How Larecoin Fixes It: LUSD integration: Larecoin's stablecoin version.

Merchants can accept LUSD for stable, predictable value. No price fluctuation anxiety. No forced conversions.

Your customer pays in crypto. You receive value stability.

Plus, LUSD operates on the same Larecoin ecosystem. Same low fees. Same self-custody. Same merchant freedom.

Mistake #5: Dealing with Complicated Setup and Integration

The Problem: Most crypto payment processors require developer time. API integrations. Custom code. Days or weeks of setup.

Small merchants get left behind.

How Larecoin Fixes It: Plug-and-play contactless POS.

No coding required. No API wrestling. Just connect your Web3 wallet and start accepting payments.

Works with existing hardware. Integrates with popular ecommerce platforms. Takes minutes, not weeks.

The Larecoin merchant portal makes management dead simple. Track payments. Generate reports. Manage inventory.

All from one dashboard.

Mistake #6: Accepting Platform Lock-In and Limited Freedom

The Problem: Centralized crypto processors control your payment flow. They set the rules. They change the fees. They decide which tokens you can accept.

You're trapped in their ecosystem.

NOWPayments supports limited tokens. CoinPayments forces conversions. Both maintain control over your merchant account.

How Larecoin Fixes It: Decentralized, open architecture.

Accept any token on Solana. No approval needed. No gatekeepers.

Want to accept a new memecoin? Do it. Community token? No problem. Your business, your rules.

Larecoin's swap and bridge functionality lets customers pay in virtually any crypto. You receive in your preferred token.

Maximum flexibility. Zero platform dependency.

Mistake #7: Overlooking Cross-Border Payment Freedom

The Problem: Traditional processors still treat international payments as "special." Higher fees. Currency conversions. Geographic restrictions.

Even crypto processors like NOWPayments add complexity for cross-border transactions.

How Larecoin Fixes It: Borderless by design.

Every transaction is global. No currency conversions. No international fees. No geographic limitations.

Your customer in Japan pays the same gas fee as your customer in Germany. That's it.

Web3 global payments aren't a feature: they're the foundation.

The Larecoin ecosystem operates on Solana's high-speed, low-cost infrastructure. Payments settle in seconds. Anywhere on Earth.

The Larecoin Difference: Built for Merchant Independence

Here's what separates Larecoin from every other crypto POS system:

Fee Structure:

• NOWPayments: 0.5-1% per transaction

• CoinPayments: 0.5% plus network fees

• Larecoin: ZERO merchant fees, only gas

Custody:

• NOWPayments: Custodial

• CoinPayments: Custodial

• Larecoin: Self-custody

Innovation:

• NOWPayments: Basic payments

• CoinPayments: Basic payments + limited features

• Larecoin: NFT receipts, LUSD stability, swap/bridge, DAO governance

Control:

• CoinPayments: Limited token options

• Larecoin: Accept any Solana token, no restrictions

The math is simple. The choice is clear.

Stop Overpaying. Start Building.

Every day you use a traditional crypto processor, you lose money.

Not just in fees. In missed opportunities. In platform dependency. In lack of customer engagement.

The mistakes aren't yours: they're inherited from an industry that still thinks like Web2.

Larecoin fixes that.

Zero fees. Self-custody. NFT receipts. Stablecoin options. True merchant freedom.

This is what crypto payments should have been from the start.
