Interchange fees are eating your profits alive.

Every swipe. Every tap. Every transaction. Traditional payment processors take 2-4% right off the top. For small businesses operating on thin margins, that's the difference between growth and stagnation.

Here's the truth: you don't have to accept it anymore.

Web3 payments are changing the game. Crypto payment solutions now offer fees as low as 0.5% per transaction. That's a 50%+ reduction: sometimes even 80%.

But there's a catch most platforms don't want you to know about.

Custody.

Most crypto payment gateways act as intermediaries. They hold your funds. They control your assets. You're just swapping one middleman for another.

Not with Larecoin. Let's break down exactly how to slash your fees while keeping every satoshi in your own hands.

The Interchange Fee Problem (And Why It's Worse Than You Think)

Traditional payment processing is a multi-layered fee sandwich.

You've got:

Interchange fees (paid to card-issuing banks)
Assessment fees (paid to card networks)
Processor markups (paid to your payment gateway)

Add them up. Small businesses lose $3,000-$10,000 annually on a modest transaction volume. Higher volume? The bleeding accelerates.

Visa and Mastercard have hiked interchange rates repeatedly since 2020. The trend isn't slowing down.

Small businesses need an alternative. Now.

Why Crypto Payments Cut Costs by 50%+

Blockchain-based payments eliminate the middlemen.

No card networks. No issuing banks. No assessment fees.

Here's the math:

Payment Method	Typical Fee
Credit Card	2.5% - 3.5%
NOWPayments	0.5% - 1%
CoinPayments	0.5%
Larecoin	0.5% (with full custody)

The savings are immediate. Tangible. Real money back in your pocket.

But fee reduction is only half the equation.

The Custody Problem With Competitors

Here's where most crypto payment processors fail small businesses.

NOWPayments and CoinPayments operate as custodial solutions.

What does that mean? They hold your crypto. They process your withdrawals. They control the keys.

Not your keys. Not your crypto. It's that simple.

You're trusting a third party with your revenue. Sound familiar? That's exactly what you were trying to escape from traditional payment processing.

Custodial platforms expose you to:

Counterparty risk (if they get hacked, you lose funds)
Withdrawal delays (your money, their timeline)
Account freezes (arbitrary policy enforcement)
Regulatory seizures (their compliance issues become yours)

Financial sovereignty requires self-custody. Period.

Larecoin's Self-Custody Advantage

Larecoin was built different.

You keep full custody of every payment received. Funds go directly to your wallet. No intermediary holding period. No withdrawal requests.

The moment a customer pays, you control those assets.

This is Web3 payments done right.

Small business owner receiving cryptocurrency directly, symbolizing self-custody and reduced merchant fees with Web3 payments.

How It Works:

Customer initiates payment via Larecoin's merchant gateway
Transaction broadcasts to the blockchain
Funds arrive directly in your self-hosted wallet
You maintain complete control from second one

No custody handoff. No third-party risk. No permission needed to access your own money.

Compare that to competitors who hold funds for 24-72 hours before allowing withdrawals. In volatile markets, that delay can cost you significantly.

The LUSD Stablecoin Advantage

Price volatility concerns small business owners. Understandably.

Accept Bitcoin today. It drops 10% tomorrow. Your margins evaporate.

LUSD solves this.

Larecoin's stablecoin provides dollar-pegged stability with crypto efficiency. Accept payments in LUSD and eliminate volatility risk entirely.

LUSD Benefits for Merchants:

1:1 USD peg for predictable accounting
Low gas fees for transfers
Instant settlement without conversion delays
Self-custody compatible (no forced holding periods)
Push-to-card functionality for fiat offramps

You get the cost savings of crypto without the price swings. Best of both worlds.

NFT Receipts: The Utility Game-Changer

Here's where Larecoin separates from every competitor in the space.

NFT receipts.

Every transaction can generate a blockchain-verified receipt as an NFT. This isn't a gimmick. It's a fundamental upgrade to merchant-customer relationships.

Why NFT Receipts Matter:

For Merchants:

Immutable proof of transaction
Automated warranty tracking
Customer loyalty integration
Reduced chargeback disputes

For Customers:

Verifiable purchase history
Transferable proof of ownership
Simplified returns processing
Potential loyalty rewards attached

Traditional receipts fade. They get lost. They're easily forged.

NFT receipts live forever on-chain. Verifiable by anyone. Tamper-proof by design.

This creates new opportunities for customer engagement. Attach discount codes to receipt NFTs. Offer exclusive access based on purchase history. Build loyalty programs that actually work.
