Stop Wasting Money on Interchange Fees: 5 Steps to Switch Your Business to Crypto POS Systems (Larecoin Guide)


Your business is bleeding money every single day.

Those 2-3% interchange fees? They're adding up. Fast.

A $500,000 annual card revenue business loses $10,000-$15,000 to processing fees. Every year. Forever.

That's a used car. A marketing budget. An employee salary.

Gone.

The Real Cost of Traditional Payment Processing

Credit card companies have built an empire on your transactions.

Interchange fees. Processing fees. Assessment fees. Gateway fees. Monthly minimums.

The list never ends.

Your $100 sale becomes $97.20 after fees. Do that 10,000 times and you've lost $28,000.

Meanwhile, crypto POS systems charge 0.5-1% on average. Some transactions? Zero fees if you accept stablecoins directly.

That's not disruption. That's financial freedom.

Step 1: Audit Your Current Processing Costs

Before you switch, you need numbers.

Calculate your monthly interchange burden:

  • Total card processing volume

  • Average transaction size

  • Effective rate (total fees ÷ total volume)

  • Hidden costs (chargebacks, PCI compliance, terminal rentals)

Most merchants don't realize they're paying 3.5-4% when everything's factored in.

Larecoin's Web3 POS? Flat 1% or less. No hidden fees. No monthly minimums. No chargebacks draining your account.

The math is brutal. And obvious.

Step 2: Choose Your Crypto Payment Infrastructure

Not all crypto POS systems are equal.

The market breaks down into three tiers:

Tier 1: Centralized Gateways (NOWPayments, CoinPayments)

  • Easy setup but you don't own the keys

  • Withdrawal delays of 24-72 hours

  • Limited stablecoin support

  • Higher fees than advertised (hidden withdrawal costs)

Tier 2: Hybrid Solutions

  • Some self-custody features

  • Better stablecoin options

  • Still dependent on third-party infrastructure

Tier 3: Full Self-Custody Web3 POS (Larecoin)

  • Complete control of your funds

  • Instant settlement to your wallet

  • Native LUSD stablecoin integration

  • NFT receipt generation for compliance

  • Gas-only transfers (lowest possible fees)

The choice isn't about technology. It's about control.

NOWPayments holds your crypto until you request withdrawal. CoinPayments charges 0.5% but then hits you with network fees and conversion spreads.

Larecoin settles directly to YOUR wallet. Immediately. No intermediaries.

Step 3: Set Up Your Larecoin Merchant Account

The technical setup takes 15 minutes.

Here's the exact process:

Account Creation:

  • Visit larecoin.com/serviceprovider

  • Connect your Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, or Ledger)

  • Verify your business information

  • Set your preferred settlement currency (LARE, LUSD, or SOL)

POS Integration:

  • Generate your merchant API key

  • Install the Larecoin POS plugin (works with Square, Shopify, WooCommerce)

  • Configure automatic conversion preferences

  • Test transaction with $1 LUSD

Go Live:

  • Display QR codes at checkout

  • Train staff on crypto receipt process (2-minute tutorial)

  • Monitor dashboard for real-time settlements

That's it. No bank approval. No credit check. No 3-week underwriting process.

You're accepting crypto payments in under an hour.

Step 4: Leverage LUSD Stablecoin Advantages

Volatility is the standard crypto objection.

LUSD solves it.

Liquity USD (LUSD) is a decentralized, fully collateralized stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. Unlike USDC or USDT, there's no centralized company controlling the supply.

Why LUSD beats traditional stablecoins for merchants:

Zero Counterparty Risk

  • No Circle or Tether holding your value

  • Over-collateralized by ETH (110-150% ratio)

  • Immutable smart contracts, not corporate decisions

Lower Redemption Fees

  • Convert to USD for 0.5% or less

  • Direct to bank or debit card via Larecoin's push-to-card feature

  • Instant liquidity without withdrawal delays

Tax Advantages

  • Cleaner accounting (stablecoin-to-fiat = minimal capital gains)

  • Simplified year-end reporting

  • Better audit trail with NFT receipts

When customers pay with LUSD through Larecoin, you get stable value TODAY. Not tomorrow after conversion. Not next week after settlement.

Right now.

Step 5: Implement NFT Receipt Infrastructure

This is where Larecoin destroys the competition.

Every transaction generates an NFT receipt. On-chain. Immutable. Verifiable.

Why this matters for your business:

Accounting Compliance

  • IRS-friendly transaction records

  • Automated reconciliation with accounting software

  • Permanent proof of sale (no "lost receipts")

Customer Loyalty

  • NFT receipts double as collectibles

  • Build gamified reward programs

  • Create VIP tiers based on transaction history

Chargeback Elimination

  • Blockchain timestamp = undeniable proof

  • No more "I never received this" disputes

  • Save 1-2% of revenue from fraudulent claims

NOWPayments and CoinPayments send you a PDF invoice. Cool.

Larecoin mints permanent, transferable, programmable proof of every transaction. Massive difference.

Customers can even resell their NFT receipts if they include limited-edition artwork or exclusive access. Your transactions become marketing assets.

The Self-Custody Advantage

Here's the uncomfortable truth about centralized crypto processors:

You don't own anything until it's in YOUR wallet.

NOWPayments? They custody your crypto. You're asking permission to withdraw your own money.

CoinPayments? Same model. Different branding.

Larecoin operates on pure self-custody principles:

  • Payments settle directly to your Solana wallet address

  • No withdrawal requests or approval delays

  • No "account holds" or "security reviews"

  • No risk of platform bankruptcy freezing your funds

The FTX collapse taught us one lesson: Not your keys, not your crypto.

With Larecoin, every sale goes straight to your wallet. Within seconds. You control the private keys. You control the money.

That's not a feature. That's the entire point of Web3 payments.
