AurspaceShort answer: both are non-custodial, so the real question is who operates the gateway. BTCPay Server charges nothing to process payments but you host, secure and update it yourself, and it is Bitcoin-and-Lightning-first with no native stablecoin support. Aurpay charges 0.8% per transaction and runs...
AurspaceShort answer: on WooCommerce the decision comes down to who holds the money and who maintains the plugin. Aurpay (0.8% flat, non-custodial, actively maintained WordPress plugin) suits stores that want stablecoins plus BTC and ETH without running infrastructure. BTCPay Server costs nothing to process but...
AurspaceShort answer: for most Shopify stores, Aurpay is the fastest route to non-custodial crypto checkout — a Shopify Custom App, roughly 15 minutes to install, 0.8% flat, and funds settle straight to your own wallet. Choose BitPay if you need a custodian to convert payments...
AurspaceShort answer: if you want payments to land in a wallet you control, the shortlist is Aurpay (0.8% flat, non-custodial, Shopify Custom App plus an official WooCommerce plugin) or BTCPay Server (no processing fee, but you run and maintain the server yourself). Pick BitPay, Coinbase...
AurspaceThe merchants most likely to say yes to crypto payments are not the ones interested in crypto. They are the ones with a payments problem: international card decline rates they cannot fix, a processor that holds funds in a rolling reserve, or a product category...
AurspaceThe program advertising 70 percent revenue share will usually pay you less than the program advertising 20 percent. Not always, but often enough that ranking programs by headline percentage is the single most reliable way to pick the wrong one. The percentage is a share...
AurspaceIf you run an agency, a SaaS platform, or a consultancy that already advises businesses on payments, the fastest way to monetize that relationship is a referral or revenue-share partnership rather than a reseller or white-label arrangement. Referral programs pay you without making you responsible...
AurspaceShopify's native USDC support makes stablecoin checkout more mainstream, but it does not answer every stablecoin payment need. If your buyers hold USDT, especially USDT on Tron, you still need a gateway that supports USDT rails. The business question is simple: do your customers want...
AurspaceShopify USDC is good news for merchants, but it does not remove the need for a crypto payment gateway. If your store only wants to accept USDC on Base through Shopify Payments and receive local-currency payouts through your existing Shopify flow, the native option may...
AurspaceCBD and hemp merchants should look at crypto payments as a payment-risk tool, not as a compliance shortcut. Crypto can reduce card chargeback exposure and give international buyers another way to pay, but it does not make restricted products unrestricted. You still need product compliance,...
AurspaceIf native Shopify USDC is available to your business and matches your payment needs, use it. If your store is outside the eligible footprint, needs assets beyond USDC, or wants non-custodial wallet settlement, use a crypto payment gateway. The region question is not a side...
AurspaceAdult creator platforms should consider crypto payments for final settlement, global reach, and payout flexibility, but only inside a compliance-first operating model. Crypto does not remove age verification, consent review, prohibited-content controls, tax reporting, or platform moderation. It changes the payment rail. The business still...
