Larecoin Vs CoinPayments: Which Is Better for Your Merchant Freedom and Growth?

Stop letting middleman fees eat your lunch.

If you’re running a business in 2026, you already know that traditional payment processors are a relic. But even in the world of crypto payments, not all platforms are created equal. You have the "old guard" like CoinPayments, and then you have the future of Web3 commerce: Larecoin.

Choosing the right partner isn't just about accepting Bitcoin or Solana. It’s about financial sovereignty, slashing interchange fees, and scaling without friction.

Let’s break down why Larecoin is the definitive choice for merchants who actually want to own their growth.

The Fee Massacre: Percentage vs. Gas-Only

Most payment gateways operate on a percentage-based model. CoinPayments usually hits you with a 0.5% to 1% transaction fee plus the network’s blockchain fees.

On paper, 1% sounds small. In reality, it’s a parasite.

If your business processes $5 million annually, CoinPayments is taking $25,000 to $50,000 right off the top. That’s a salary. That’s a marketing budget. That’s your money.

Larecoin operates on a gas-only model.

We don’t take a cut of your hard-earned revenue. By leveraging the Solana blockchain, transaction costs are negligible. At that same $5 million volume, your annual costs with Larecoin would hover around $5,000 in gas fees. We’re talking about an 80%+ reduction in costs compared to traditional "crypto-processors."

When we talk about reducing merchant interchange fees, we aren't just shaving off a few points. We are fundamentally changing the math of your P&L.

Self-Custody: Who Actually Holds the Keys?

The biggest risk in the current landscape isn't volatility: it’s custody.

CoinPayments is a custodial service. When a customer pays you, the funds go into their wallet first. You have to request a withdrawal to get your money. This creates a single point of failure. If their platform faces a regulatory hiccup or a technical outage, your liquidity is frozen.

Larecoin is 100% self-custody.

With Larecoin, the payment goes directly from the customer to your smart wallet. No middleman. No "pending" status. No permission required to access your capital. In the Web3 era, if you don't control the keys, you don't own the money.

Larecoin empowers you with financial sovereignty. You get the speed of a centralized processor with the security of a decentralized protocol. This is why 500+ merchants are switching to self-custody accounts this year alone.

Settlement Speed: Seconds vs. Minutes

In retail and e-commerce, cash flow is king. You can’t wait 15 minutes for a confirmation while a customer stands at a kiosk or waits for a digital download.

CoinPayments, depending on the chain, can take anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes to settle a transaction. That’s an eternity in 2026.

Larecoin is built on Solana. We’re talking sub-second finality.

• Solana Speed: 65,000 transactions per second.

• Settlement: Near-instant.

Your customer clicks "Pay," and the LUSD or $LARE is in your wallet before they can even refresh the page. This isn't just a "nice to have": it’s a requirement for scaling a global business.

NFT Receipts: The End of "Where’s My Invoice?"

Traditional receipts are boring. They’re also easily lost and hard to verify.

Larecoin introduces NFT Receipts. Every transaction generates a blockchain-verified NFT that serves as an immutable proof of payment.

• For Merchants: Perfect for tax records and dispute resolution.

• For Customers: A digital collectible and a permanent record of purchase that can be used for loyalty rewards or warranties.

CoinPayments offers standard database records. Larecoin offers programmable assets. By using NFT receipts, you’re not just finishing a transaction; you’re starting a Web3 relationship with your customer.

The LUSD Stablecoin Advantage

We get it. You might not want to hold the full balance of your sales in a volatile asset.

While competitors like NOWPayments or CoinPayments support hundreds of tokens, they often leave the merchant holding the bag on volatility or force expensive conversion fees.

Larecoin integrates the LUSD stablecoin. It’s designed for commerce. It provides the stability of the US Dollar with the efficiency of the Larecoin ecosystem. You can accept payments in $LARE or LUSD and keep your books clean. No more checking the charts every five minutes to see if your morning sales just dropped 10% in value.

Why Token Quantity is a Distraction

CoinPayments loves to brag about supporting 2,000+ cryptocurrencies. Sounds great for a press release, right?

But here’s the reality: 98% of crypto transactions happen in the top 20 tokens.

Supporting "ShibaInuMoonCoin" doesn't help your business grow. It just adds technical debt and security vulnerabilities. Larecoin focuses on the Solana ecosystem and high-utility assets. We prioritize quality, speed, and security over a list of dead coins.

Through our bridge and swap interoperability at larecoin.com, you still get the cross-chain reach you need without the bloat of a legacy system.

AI and the Metaverse: Larecoin.ai

The future of commerce is happening at larecoin.ai.

We are integrating AI and machine learning to optimize payment routing and fraud detection. While CoinPayments is still figuring out how to handle basic crypto transfers, we are building the infrastructure for the Metaverse.

Imagine a virtual storefront where payments are handled by AI-driven smart contracts, ensuring the lowest possible gas fees and the fastest settlement automatically. That’s what Larecoin is bringing to the table. We aren't just a payment gateway; we are a Web3 growth engine.

The 10-Year Marathon

We aren't here for a quick pump. Larecoin is in the middle of a 10-year blog marathon, documenting the evolution of global payments.

We are committed to solving real-world problems. Whether it's slashing fees for a coffee shop or providing a scalable payment rail for a global SaaS company, Larecoin is built to last.

Compare that to the competition. Many older processors are bogged down by legacy code and high overhead. They have to charge you 1% just to keep their lights on. Larecoin is lean, fast, and built on the most advanced blockchain tech available.
