How to Cut Merchant Interchange Fees by Over 50% Using Web3 Global Payments (5-Minute Setup)

Interchange fees are crushing merchant margins.

You're paying 2-4% on every domestic transaction. Cross-border deals? Try 4-6%.

That's thousands of dollars disappearing monthly into the pockets of card networks, acquiring banks, and payment processors.

Web3 global payments change everything.

The Hidden Tax on Every Transaction

Traditional payment processing stacks fees like pancakes:

• Interchange fees: 1.5-3% straight to card issuers

• Network assessment: 0.1-0.15% for Visa/Mastercard

• Acquiring bank cut: 0.2-0.5% for processing

• Processor markup: Another 0.2-0.5%

• FX spreads: 1-3% on international payments

Process $100,000 monthly with international customers? You're hemorrhaging $5,000/month: $60,000 annually: just to accept payments.

Web3 payments flip this model completely.

Stablecoin Payments: The Direct Route

Forget intermediaries.

Web3 payments use stablecoin transactions that go directly from customer wallet to your merchant account. No card networks. No correspondent banks. No multi-layer processing fees.

Just direct settlement.

Your costs? Gas fees (roughly $50/month even at high volume) plus a minimal platform fee.

The math is brutal for traditional processors. A business moving $500,000 annually:

• Traditional processing: $15,000 in fees

• Traditional with cross-border: $18,000+

• Web3 payments: $4,500

• Annual savings: $13,500 (75% reduction)

That's not incremental improvement. That's transformation.

Larecoin vs. The Competition

Let's be direct about where we stand against NOWPayments, CoinPayments, and Triple-A.

NOWPayments offers crypto processing but still acts as a custodian. You don't control your private keys. Settlement takes days. And their fee structure adds up fast with conversion costs.

CoinPayments has been around forever. The platform feels dated. Security incidents have raised eyebrows. Plus, they charge 0.5% per transaction plus network fees. Those "small" percentages compound.

Triple-A targets enterprise clients with custodial solutions. If you're comfortable with third-party custody and enterprise pricing tiers, they're solid. But you're still paying premium rates for what should be a direct transaction.

Larecoin's difference?

Self-custody architecture from day one. You hold the keys. LUSD stablecoin integration for price stability without volatility. Gas-only transfers that eliminate platform fees on peer-to-peer transactions. And NFT receipts that turn every transaction into an immutable, blockchain-verified record.

We're not trying to be a traditional payment processor in crypto clothing. We're building something fundamentally different.

The 5-Minute Setup (Actually 5 Minutes)

Step 1: Create Your Merchant Account

Visit the Larecoin merchant portal. No credit checks. No bank applications. No waiting weeks for approval.

Enter your business details. Verify your email. Done.

Step 2: Set Up Master & Sub-Wallets

Generate your primary merchant wallet. This is your self-custody address: you control the private keys completely.

Need to manage multiple locations? Create sub-wallets for each store, department, or region. All funds flow to your master wallet, but you maintain granular control and reporting.

Step 3: Enable LUSD Stablecoin Payments

Activate LUSD (Liquity USD) as your primary payment method. Unlike USDT or USDC, LUSD is fully decentralized with no single point of failure. Price stability without corporate custody risk.

Accept other stablecoins too: USDC, USDT, DAI. Give customers options.

Step 4: Generate Your QR Payment Codes

Create static or dynamic QR codes for point-of-sale transactions. Print them. Display them on tablets. Integrate them into your existing POS system.

Customers scan. Amount populates. They confirm. Payment hits your wallet in seconds.

Step 5: Turn On NFT Receipts

Every transaction automatically generates an NFT receipt. Blockchain-verified proof of purchase. Immutable transaction records. Simplified accounting and tax filing.

Your bookkeeper will thank you.

Technical Advantages That Actually Matter

Gas-Only Transfers

Send payments between wallets for only the blockchain gas fee. No platform percentage. No hidden charges.

This matters for businesses with complex payment flows: franchise fees, supplier payments, revenue sharing arrangements.

Self-Custody Security

Your keys. Your crypto. Your control.

No exchange can freeze your account. No processor can hold your funds. No third party decides when you access your money.

This is financial sovereignty for businesses.

NFT Receipt Innovation

Every transaction mints an NFT receipt with full transaction metadata. Customer details, amount, timestamp, product info: all recorded immutably on-chain.

Pull reports instantly. Verify transactions cryptographically. Share receipts with accountants who can independently verify on the blockchain.

No more "the receipt printer jammed" excuses.

Master/Sub-Wallet Architecture

Manage complex business structures elegantly. Franchise operations with 50 locations? Create 50 sub-wallets.

Each location operates independently. Revenue flows to your master wallet automatically. You see consolidated reporting plus individual location breakdowns.

Scale without complexity.

Compliance You Can Trust

Web3 doesn't mean wild west.

Larecoin holds federal MSB (Money Services Business) registration. We're compliant with FinCEN regulations. We take anti-money laundering seriously.

More importantly: state-level MTL (Money Transmitter License) coverage across the U.S.

That means we've done the hard work of regulatory compliance in multiple jurisdictions. You get the benefits of crypto payments without compliance headaches.

When customers ask "is this legal?", you can answer confidently: federally registered, state-licensed, fully compliant.

Real Numbers, Real Savings

Let's run scenarios:

Small Retailer ($20K monthly revenue)

• Traditional fees: $600-800/month

• Larecoin: $180-200/month

• Annual savings: $5,040-7,200

Mid-Size Business ($150K monthly revenue)

• Traditional fees: $4,500-6,000/month

Enterprise Operation ($1M monthly revenue)

• Larecoin: $9,000-10,000/month

• Annual savings: $252,000-360,000

Those aren't projections. That's what happens when you eliminate intermediary layers.
