Stop Wasting Money on Interchange Fees: 7 Ways Larecoin's Web3 POS Saves Small Businesses $1000s Annually

Small businesses are bleeding money on interchange fees.

Every swipe. Every tap. Every transaction.

Traditional payment processors are taking 2-3% of your hard-earned revenue. For international sales? That jumps to 4-6%.

Do the math. A business processing $1 million annually loses $25,000-$60,000 to fees alone.

That's not sustainable. That's theft disguised as convenience.

Larecoin's Web3 POS system flips this broken model on its head. Gas-only transactions. Direct blockchain settlement. Self-custody control.

Here's how we're saving small businesses thousands annually.

1. Eliminate Percentage-Based Fees Entirely

Traditional processors like Square and Stripe take a percentage of every transaction.

$10 sale? They take $0.30 + 2.9%. $1,000 sale? They take $29.30.

The more you make, the more they take.

Larecoin operates differently. Blockchain gas fees only. Fixed cost per transaction: $0.01-$0.50.

Doesn't matter if you're selling a $5 coffee or a $5,000 piece of equipment. Same low fee.

Compare this to alternatives like NOWPayments and CoinPayments. They still charge 0.4-0.5% on transactions. Better than traditional processors, sure. But still percentage-based.

Still taking a cut of your revenue.

Larecoin? Pure gas fees. No hidden percentages. No variable costs eating into margins.

Real numbers: Coffee shop processing 500 transactions monthly saves $350-$750 compared to traditional systems. Annually? That's $4,200-$9,000 back in your pocket.

Scale that to larger operations and the savings become exponential.

2. Lower Hardware & Operational Costs

Traditional POS systems hit you with multiple fees:

• Terminal hardware: $300-$1,200

• Monthly terminal fees: $15-$50

• Processing fees: 2-3% per transaction

• Chargeback fees: $15-$25 per occurrence

• Statement fees: $10-$20 monthly

It adds up fast.

Larecoin's crypto POS hardware costs $150-$300. One-time purchase.

Zero monthly terminal fees. Zero percentage-based processing charges. Zero statement fees.

Just gas costs per transaction.

CoinPayments offers similar hardware, but their ecosystem still charges 0.5% on every sale. NOWPayments requires integration with existing systems: adding complexity and potential failure points.

Larecoin's standalone solution eliminates the middleman entirely.

3. Self-Custody Means You Control Your Money

Traditional processors hold your funds. They control payout schedules. They can freeze accounts without warning.

Seen it happen to countless merchants. Payment holds. Account terminations. Funds locked for weeks during "investigations."

Larecoin uses self-custody. You hold the private keys. Payments settle directly to your wallet.

No intermediaries. No payout delays. No freeze risks.

This matters more than most realize. Payment processor freezes can destroy businesses overnight. Can't access revenue? Can't pay suppliers. Can't make payroll.

Self-custody eliminates this risk completely.

NOWPayments and CoinPayments both use custodial models. Your funds pass through their systems. They control the keys. They decide when you get paid.

Larecoin gives you full sovereignty over your money from the moment payment clears.

That's not just a feature. That's financial freedom.

4. Global Cross-Border Payments Without FX Spreads

International payments through traditional processors are brutal:

• SWIFT wire fees: $25-$50 per transaction

• Currency conversion markups: 2-4%

• Processing delays: 3-5 business days

• Additional intermediary bank fees

A $10,000 international payment can cost $250-$450 in fees alone. Plus the wait time.

Larecoin settles international transactions in minutes using LUSD stablecoin.

Same gas fee whether your customer is local or across the globe. No currency conversion spreads. No wire transfer fees. No 3-5 day delays.

LUSD maintains dollar parity without centralized control. Overcollateralized. Censorship-resistant. Perfect for merchants needing stable value without bank exposure.

For businesses with international customers, this single feature can save $10,000-$50,000 annually.

NOWPayments supports multiple cryptocurrencies but still uses centralized stablecoin conversions. CoinPayments offers similar functionality but with higher fees and longer settlement times.

Larecoin's LUSD integration provides the stability merchants need with the decentralization Web3 promises.

5. Automated NFT Receipts for Compliance & Accounting

Every Larecoin transaction generates an on-chain NFT receipt.

Immutable proof of sale. Timestamped. Verifiable. Permanent.

This matters for:

• Tax compliance

• Audit trails

• Chargeback disputes

• Financial reporting

• Inventory tracking

Traditional receipts? Paper that fades. Email that gets deleted. Digital records that can be altered.

NFT receipts exist on-chain forever. Can't be modified. Can't be disputed.

Accounting becomes automated. No manual reconciliation. No third-party verification services. No paying for receipt storage systems.

Your entire transaction history lives on the blockchain. Accessible anytime. Verifiable by anyone.

This eliminates costs associated with:

• Receipt management software: $20-$100 monthly

• Reconciliation services: $50-$200 monthly

• Audit preparation: $500-$2,000 annually

Plus the time saved. Hours of manual work eliminated.

Neither NOWPayments nor CoinPayments offers native NFT receipt generation. They provide transaction records, sure. But not immutable, on-chain proof with the benefits of Web3 technology.

6. Fast Onboarding Without Verification Hell

Traditional payment processors require:

• Business verification documents

• Tax ID numbers

• Bank account information

• Credit checks

• Underwriting review

• 3-7 day approval process

Then waiting lists. Potential denials. Account restrictions based on industry.

Larecoin setup takes five minutes.

No business verification. No underwriting process. No waiting lists. No industry restrictions.

Create wallet. Connect POS. Accept payments.

That's it.

This speed matters for new businesses, pop-up shops, event vendors, and anyone needing to accept payments immediately.

Time is money. Every day spent waiting for payment processor approval is revenue lost.

Larecoin merchants start earning immediately.

CoinPayments requires KYC verification and approval processes. NOWPayments has similar requirements plus API integration complexity.

Larecoin removes friction entirely.

7. No Platform Lock-In or Deplatforming Risk

Payment processors can terminate accounts at will.

Political views. Industry category. Geographic location. Arbitrary policy changes.

Merchants have zero recourse. Funds frozen. Business destroyed overnight.

Larecoin operates as an open, decentralized ecosystem.

No central authority can deplatform you. No geographic restrictions. No industry blacklists. No arbitrary policy changes.

You control your wallet. You control your business.

This isn't theoretical. We've seen payment processors mass-terminate accounts in adult entertainment, firearms, CBD, political fundraising, and countless other legal industries.

Larecoin's decentralized architecture makes this impossible.

Your business. Your rules. Your control.

Plus, Larecoin maintains rigorous US compliance through MSB registration and state-by-state MTL (Money Transmitter License) strategy. Legal. Compliant. Unstoppable.

NOWPayments and CoinPayments still operate as centralized entities. They can freeze accounts. They can restrict industries. They control access.

Larecoin provides compliance without compromise.

The Bottom Line: Real Savings, Real Control

Here's what this means in actual dollars:
