How to Set Up a Self-Custody Crypto POS System and Keep 100% Control of Your Funds (Easy Guide for Merchants)

Your keys. Your coins. Your business.

That's the whole point of crypto, right? Yet most merchants using crypto payment processors hand over custody to third parties. Platforms like NOWPayments, CoinPayments, and Triple-A all process your funds through their wallets first.

Not ideal.

True self-custody means your customer pays you directly. No middleman holding your money. No withdrawal delays. No counterparty risk.

This guide breaks down exactly how to set up a self-custody crypto POS system using Larecoin's infrastructure. Keep 100% control of your funds from the first transaction.

Why Most Crypto Payment Processors Fail Merchants

Here's the uncomfortable truth about popular crypto payment gateways:

NOWPayments : Funds flow through their system before reaching you. Settlement times vary. You're trusting them with your revenue.

CoinPayments : Multi-currency support sounds great until you realize they're holding your assets. Withdrawal fees eat into margins.

Triple-A : Solid enterprise option, but again: custodial. They control the keys.

These platforms offer convenience. But convenience comes at a cost.

You're essentially recreating the same custodial banking model that crypto was designed to eliminate.

The Self-Custody Difference

Self-custody crypto POS flips the script.

• Customer scans QR code

• Payment goes directly to YOUR wallet

• Transaction confirms on-chain

• You receive funds instantly

No intermediary. No permission needed. No withdrawal requests.

Larecoin's QR-generated POS system makes this dead simple for merchants. Generate a payment request, customer pays, done.

Step-by-Step: Setting Up Your Larecoin Self-Custody POS

Step 1: Create Your Master Wallet

Start with a Larecoin smart wallet. This becomes your business treasury.

Write down your 12-word seed phrase. Store it offline. Never share it. This phrase IS your wallet: lose it, lose access.

Pro tip: Use a hardware wallet for additional security on high-volume operations.

Step 2: Configure Sub-Wallets

Here's where Larecoin gets interesting.

The master/sub-wallet architecture lets you create separate wallets for:

• Individual store locations

• Specific employees

• Different product categories

• Event-based payments

All sub-wallets roll up to your master wallet. Complete visibility. Complete control.

Step 3: Generate Your QR-Based POS

No expensive hardware required.

Larecoin's contactless POS generates unique QR codes for each transaction. Customer scans with any crypto wallet. Payment broadcasts to blockchain. Confirmation in seconds.

Works on any device. Tablet. Phone. Desktop. Even print static QR codes for fixed-price items.

Step 4: Accept LUSD for Stability

Volatile markets scare merchants. Understandable.

LUSD: Larecoin's stablecoin: solves this. Customers can pay in LUSD, you receive a dollar-pegged asset. No price swings between sale and settlement.

Gas-only transfers mean minimal transaction costs. You keep more of every sale.

Fee Savings: The Real Numbers

Traditional payment processing costs merchants 2.5-3.5% per transaction. Interchange fees alone crush small business margins.

Larecoin's fee structure:

Traditional Processing	Larecoin Self-Custody
2.5-3.5% per transaction	Gas fees only (~$0.01-0.05)
Monthly gateway fees	No monthly fees
Chargeback risk	Irreversible transactions
2-3 day settlement	Instant settlement

That's over 50% savings on payment processing costs.

For a business processing $100K monthly, traditional fees eat $2,500-$3,500. With Larecoin? Under $500 in gas costs.

Do the math. That's $24,000+ back in your pocket annually.

NFT Receipts: Proof That Actually Means Something

Paper receipts fade. Email receipts get lost. Traditional records are easily disputed.

Larecoin's NFT receipt system creates immutable proof of every transaction.

Each sale generates an NFT receipt containing:

• Transaction timestamp

• Amount paid

• Wallet addresses

• Product/service details

Stored on-chain forever. Verifiable by anyone. Perfect for warranty claims, returns, and accounting.

Your customers get a collectible. You get bulletproof records.

Compliance: Fully Licensed, Fully Legit

Skeptical about crypto payment compliance? Fair.

Larecoin operates with:

• Federal MSB registration : Money Services Business license with FinCEN

• State-level MTL coverage : Money Transmitter Licenses across the U.S.

This isn't a fly-by-night operation. Full regulatory compliance means you're protected. Your customers are protected. Auditors won't have questions.

MTL compliance specifically matters for merchants in regulated industries. Healthcare. Real estate. Financial services. Larecoin's licensing covers you.
