Accounting & bookkeeping firms

Accept crypto payments as an accounting firm — monthly retainers, year-end fees and clients who pay from abroad

A practice gets paid in the two most awkward shapes there are: a small recurring compliance retainer that dies quietly when a card expires, and a large year-end fee collected weeks after the work was filed. Add the segment that is actually growing — non-resident founders, expatriate returns, offshore agencies, crypto-native companies — and a routine $400 fee becomes an international wire that costs a percentage, arrives days later and lands short. Payzum is a non-custodial, crypto-only processor: retainers become recurring on-chain charges, year-end fees become referenced invoices, and both settle USDC or USDT straight to a wallet the firm controls, in seconds, with no acquirer in the middle and no chargeback on a return you already filed.

Private & international schools

Accept crypto payments as a private school — enrolment deposits, termly tuition and the families who pay from abroad

A school year is not one payment. It is an enrolment deposit in March, three or ten tuition instalments, a trip that has to be booked before half the parents have paid for it, and a front desk taking uniform and canteen money all day. A growing share of those families live in another country, pay in another currency, and send money on a rail that costs a percentage and arrives days later with the reference field mangled. Payzum is a non-custodial, crypto-only processor: every one of those moments is a payment link, an invoice, a recurring charge or a QR that settles USDC or USDT straight to a wallet the school controls, in seconds, with no acquirer in the middle and no chargebacks mid-year.

Game studios & publishers

Accept crypto payments as a game studio

Studios opened direct web shops to keep the platform's commission — and inherited the platform's hardest job: fraud, global payment coverage and disputes on goods that are delivered in 400 milliseconds and spent the same evening. Top-ups, bundles, battle passes and founder packs in stablecoins, settled non-custodially to your own wallet, with one CSV batch for creators, modders and prize pools.

Solar & renewable installers

Accept crypto payments as a solar installer — the deposit, the equipment bill and the final balance

A solar job is not one payment. It is a deposit that has to clear before you can order modules, an equipment bill priced in dollars on net-30, a crew to pay on install week, and a five-figure final balance collected at commissioning — months after the customer's card was first charged and well inside the window in which they can still dispute it. Payzum is a non-custodial, crypto-only processor: every one of those moments is a payment link, an invoice or a QR that settles USDC or USDT straight to a wallet you control, in seconds, with no acquirer in the middle and no chargebacks.

QR crypto payments with no chargebacks: why a scan is final

Every payment QR looks the same to the customer — a black-and-white square on the counter. Underneath, they are not the same at all. A QR that opens a card or card-linked wallet carries the card network's dispute rights with it, which means a payment you took face to face can still be pulled back months later. A QR that carries an on-chain stablecoin payment request settles on the chain itself: once the network confirms, there is no issuer, no reason code and no window to reverse it. This is the difference between the two rails, why merchants keep getting card-present disputes they did not expect, and how a Payzum POS QR works in practice — a new code per sale, the amount already encoded, USDC or USDT landing in a wallet you control in seconds, and a refund policy that replaces the dispute process instead of losing to it.

Food trucks & market stalls

Accept crypto payments at your food truck or market stall — no card terminal

A food truck or market stall lives where card terminals struggle: a festival field with no signal, a $12 ticket that loses 3% plus a fixed fee, a reader that needs charging, a helper on the till with no accountability, a catering deposit that comes back as a chargeback, and a cash box that has to be counted every night. With the phone you already carry, Payzum turns every sale into a fresh QR paid in stablecoins, final in seconds, with no acquirer, no hardware and nothing to charge back — settled straight to a wallet you control.

Golf clubs

Accept crypto payments at your golf club

A golf club runs six businesses on one card terminal: membership dues that die when a card expires, tee-time deposits that come back as chargebacks when the rain does, a pro shop full of $600 drivers that fraud loves, corporate outings paid by wire a week late, foreign golfers whose cards decline at the counter, and a month-end of independent pros, caddies and greenkeeping contractors to pay. With US golf participation at a record 48 million, every one of those tickets is growing. Subscriptions for dues, payment links that lock a group booking from abroad, invoices for outings referenced to the event, a fresh QR per sale at the pro shop, halfway house and bar with a PIN per cashier, and one CSV for pros and caddies — non-custodial, final in seconds, straight to a wallet the club controls.

Jewelry stores

Accept crypto payments at your jewelry store

A jeweler sells the most expensive small object in retail — and pays 3% on every one of them, eats the chargeback when a $6,000 ring is "not as described" three months after the wedding, and gets priced as high-risk by an acquirer that reads "jewelry" as "resellable". With gold near record prices, every piece costs more and every dispute bites harder. Payment links that lock a bridal deposit inside the same Instagram thread, invoices for custom commissions referenced to the job ticket, hosted checkout for the online showcase, a fresh QR per sale at the counter, and one CSV for setters, engravers and CAD designers — non-custodial, final in seconds, straight to a wallet you control.

Dive centers

Accept crypto payments at your dive center

A dive center sells seats on an 8 a.m. boat to people whose banks are nine time zones away — and it does it from the edge of the banking system, where the acquirer is expensive, the card reader wants signal on a dock, and the ATM runs dry in high season. The deposit that holds a course has to be irreversible; the liveaboard balance has to beat the boat, not the SWIFT trace; and the crew — freelance instructors, divemasters, captains — needs paying whether or not the bank is a ferry ride away. Payment links that close a booking inside the same WhatsApp thread, invoices referenced to diver and trip date, a QR per sale at the fill station, subscriptions for club memberships, and one CSV for the crew — non-custodial, straight to a wallet you control.

Photographers

Accept crypto payments as a photographer

A photographer sells the same job twice: first a date on the calendar, locked with a retainer months ahead, and then a gallery of files delivered as a download. Card rails are wrong for both halves — the retainer is an advance payment for a future service, and the download is the easiest thing in commerce to dispute after receiving it. Payment links that close a booking inside the same Instagram DM, invoices with the client and date as reference, a QR on your phone for mini-session marathons, subscriptions for brand-content retainers, and one CSV for second shooters, editors and retouchers — non-custodial, straight to a wallet you control.

Vacation rentals

Accept crypto payments for your vacation rental

The whole point of a direct booking is escaping the platform's commission — and the moment you take one, you become your own payments department: advance-paid travel, sold card-not-present to a guest who is foreign by definition, with a security deposit no pre-auth wants to hold and a chargeback window that outlives the stay. Hosted checkout behind your own Book Direct button, links that close a WhatsApp inquiry, invoices for monthly nomad stays, real deposits instead of fragile holds, and one CSV for cleaners, co-hosts and the owners you remit to — non-custodial, straight to a wallet you control.

Flight schools

Accept crypto payments at your flight school

A flight school sells the most expensive tuition a private business collects, burns it down hour by hour against a prepaid account, and increasingly sells it to cadets whose money lives in another banking system. When the wire is late, the aircraft is on the ramp, the instructor is rostered and the cadet is grounded — over a payment, not the weather. Tuition instalments and hour-block top-ups as stablecoin invoices referenced to the student, links for checkride fees a parent pays from abroad, a QR at the front desk, subscriptions for sim clubs, and one CSV for freelance instructors — non-custodial, straight to a wallet the school controls.

Self-storage

Accept crypto payments at your self-storage facility

Nobody cancels a storage unit on purpose. They cancel because a card expired, a debit bounced, or the tenant moved to another country and their bank stopped cooperating — and then you are running an overlock and a lien process over a payment that was never actually refused. Recurring stablecoin subscriptions for the monthly rent, invoices referenced to the unit number, payment links for prepaid months and move-in fees, a QR at the counter for locks and boxes, and one CSV for the cleaning crew and the security patrol — non-custodial, straight to a wallet you control.

Home services & trades

Accept crypto payments as a home services company

A plumbing, HVAC or electrical company is the rare business whose cash register is a van in someone else's driveway, operated by someone who is not the owner, at the moment the customer is least happy to be spending money. The emergency call-out is the highest-margin job of the year and the most disputed: a price agreed verbally at 11pm on a Sunday, re-read on Monday morning, and reversible for months. Meanwhile the parts float is financed on the company card, the membership plans that fill the shoulder season die silently on reissued cards, and the Friday run to subcontracted techs is a stack of transfers. POS with a fresh QR per job and PIN cashiers per technician, links and invoices for quoted installs, subscriptions for maintenance plans, CSV batches for the crew — non-custodial, straight to a wallet you control.

Franchising & royalties

Accept crypto payments as a franchise

A franchise network is the only business whose entire revenue line is hundreds of small, recurring, cross-border collections from people it cannot afford to argue with. The royalty on one unit's month is often four figures, and an international wire charges a flat fee plus correspondent deductions plus an FX spread on every single one — a cost that is regressive by design, biting hardest on the smallest units in the newest markets. Meanwhile the royalty is calculated on self-reported gross sales, so a payment that arrives late, short or without a reference does not just delay cash, it breaks the reconciliation and turns a brand conversation into an accusation. Recurring subscriptions for the fixed fees, invoices with an expiry and a unit reference for the variable royalty, links for franchise and renewal fees, POS at the units, and one CSV batch for master franchisees, brokers and ad-fund suppliers — non-custodial, straight to a wallet you control.

Hosting & infrastructure

Accept crypto payments as a web hosting provider

Hosting is the only subscription business that delivers the product in sixty seconds, to a customer it will never meet, in every country on earth — and then keeps the payment reversible for months. The delivery window is a minute; the dispute window is a scheme-defined runway measured in months, and the CPU, bandwidth, IPv4 and upstream transit consumed in between are gone. Meanwhile a large share of the world's developers live in markets where a card simply is not available, renewals die silently on reissued cards and take the customer's site down with them, and acquirers price the whole category as high risk. Recurring subscriptions that survive a card reissue, hosted checkout behind your order form, signed webhooks that provision the instant payment confirms, and one CSV batch for affiliates and resellers — non-custodial, straight to a wallet you control.

Stablecoin payments in Japan: what merchants actually get for 0.98%

Japan spent August 2026 turning stablecoin acceptance into a product a shopkeeper can buy. On August 17, a second Lawson store ran USDC, USDT and JPYC through its existing POS register across Solana, Morph and Polygon — and the service being tested is already sold commercially, at a published merchant fee of 0.98%, with the shop pricing, recording and settling everything in yen and never touching a token. That last clause is the whole story. At 0.98% a Japanese merchant buys a genuinely cheaper, genuinely irreversible rail — but the stablecoin stops at a registered intermediary, and what the shop ends up holding is a yen receivable against that intermediary, on its schedule. This analysis separates the three models of stablecoin acceptance now visible in the market — invisible, converted and direct — explains why Japan's version has the shape it does (regulatory perimeter, not technology), and sets out what changes when the token lands in a wallet the merchant controls: settlement in seconds, 0.5% per sale plus network fees of cents, no acquirer, no chargebacks, and nobody in the middle to fail.

Wholesale & distribution

Accept crypto payments as a wholesale distributor

A wholesale distributor is the business whose money leaves in dollars months before it comes back in coins: a deposit wired to a factory abroad against a pro-forma, the balance before the container sails, customs and freight paid on arrival — and then a receivables ledger collected one delivery at a time from hundreds of small shops, half of it in cash on the pavement. The margin is a spread on landed cost, so every correspondent deduction, FX point and card fee lands on the spread rather than a retail markup. A QR per delivery with PIN cashiers per route, invoices with an expiry and overpayment detection for terms accounts, links for pro-forma deposits, and one CSV batch for drivers, merchandisers and sales agents — non-custodial, straight to a wallet you control.

Staffing & recruitment

Accept crypto payments at your staffing agency

A staffing agency is the one business that buys its product before it sells it: the contractor is paid on Friday, the client pays in forty-five days, and the whole company lives inside that gap on a spread of a few points. Any leakage in the rail — a correspondent deduction on the client wire in, ninety transfer fees on the bench out — comes straight off the margin, not off a healthy retail markup. Invoices with an expiry tied to the payroll date, recurring subscriptions for monthly seats and retainers, payment links for placement fees and change orders, and one CSV batch that pays the whole bench across a dozen countries — non-custodial, straight to a wallet you control.

Film & TV production

Accept crypto payments at your film production company

A production services company is handed a foreign studio's budget in tranches and then has to turn it into 140 people standing in a field at 6am on Monday. The call time does not move for a correspondent bank, so when a tranche is two days late the company finances someone else's shoot on its own credit line — and when it arrives short, the deduction eats the production fee. Invoices with an expiry set to the first day of principal photography, payment links for the greenlight deposit and the 11pm change order, subscriptions for retainer clients, a POS QR at the stage and rental counter, and one CSV batch that pays the whole unit on Friday — non-custodial, straight to a wallet you control.

Wineries & wine exporters

Accept crypto payments at your winery

A winery is three businesses sharing one bank account, and each one breaks a different part of the payment stack: an export operation invoicing importers on the other side of the world, a cellar door whose customers are all foreign because they flew in, and a wine club that dies quietly every time a card is reissued. Meanwhile the money went out at harvest and the wine sells two years later. Invoices with an expiry set to the loading date, payment links for the pro-forma deposit, a POS QR at the tasting room, subscriptions for the club, and one CSV that pays the growers, the pickers and the cooperage — non-custodial, straight to your own wallet.

Funeral homes & repatriation

Accept crypto payments at your funeral home

A funeral is the only purchase a family makes in forty-eight hours, and the people paying for it are very often in another country. The son in Madrid, the sister in Miami and the cousin in Santiago each send a share; the wire lands in three days, short, and the service is on Thursday. Payment links sent to relatives abroad, invoices with an expiry set to the service date, a POS QR at the counter and one CSV that pays the florist, the crematorium and the receiving firm overseas — non-custodial, straight to your own wallet.

Event venues & promoters

Accept crypto payments at your event venue

A venue pays the headliner's deposit months before a ticket is sold, spends on production before the doors open, and then waits on an acquirer that treats advance ticket sales as future-delivery risk. Door and bar sales on a POS QR, ticket pre-sales through hosted checkout, private-hire deposits by link, and one CSV that pays the artist, the techs, the security team and the bar staff the morning after — non-custodial, straight to your own wallet.

Car dealerships

How to accept crypto payments as a car dealership

A dealership is the rare retailer whose average ticket is too large for the card rail it already has. Cards get capped at two or three thousand dollars because interchange on a $45,000 vehicle would erase the gross profit on the unit, so the balance arrives by wire or cashier's check — and both of those bring their own problems: transfers that land days after the customer wants the keys, floorplan interest ticking on a sold unit, forged payment instructions, and counterfeit cashier's checks that clear before they bounce. This guide covers what a dealer can actually charge in stablecoins today — reservation deposits that hold a unit, purchase balances, export-buyer payments, accessories and the service lane — and how to pay transporters, reconditioning vendors and referral partners in a single batch. It is also explicit about what does not change: your title and registration process, your customer identification checks, your Form 8300-type reporting duties and your sales tax, which stay yours whichever rail the money arrives on.

Wedding & event planning

How to accept crypto payments as a wedding planner

A wedding planner gets paid on the hardest schedule in professional services: a booking deposit twelve to eighteen months before the event, instalments along the way, a final balance days before the date — and then thirteen vendors to pay right after it. When the couple lives in another country, that schedule collides with correspondent banks, wire cut-offs and fraud holds. Cards fix the speed and create a worse problem: a fee or a non-refundable deposit paid by card is still reversible months after the last guest goes home. This guide covers what a planner can actually charge in stablecoins today — booking retainers, milestone instalments, final balances, day-of upgrades at the venue — and how to pay the whole vendor list in a single batch the morning after. It is also explicit about what Payzum does not touch: your contract, your refund policy and your tax and reporting obligations, which stay yours whichever rail the money arrives on.

Real Estate

How to accept crypto payments as a real estate agency

A real estate agency's payment problem starts the moment a buyer or tenant is in another country. A reservation deposit sent by international wire takes days to arrive, lands short by whatever the correspondent bank deducted, and holds nothing in the meantime — while another offer comes in on the same property. Cards solve the speed problem and create a worse one: a commission or a holding deposit paid by card stays reversible for months, long after the keys have changed hands. This guide covers what an agency can realistically charge in stablecoins today — reservation and holding deposits, brokerage commissions and fee invoices, monthly rent and security deposits under management, listing and marketing packages, application and document fees at the counter — plus paying out photographers, cleaners, maintenance crews and co-broke partners in a single stablecoin batch. It is precise about the part Payzum does not touch: the conveyancing leg through a notary, escrow agent or solicitor's client account, and the AML and source-of-funds duties that sit with the agency no matter which rail the money arrives on.

Law Firm

How to accept crypto payments as a law firm

A law firm's payment problem is rarely the technology — it's timing and reversibility. An international retainer sent by wire takes days to clear, arrives short by whatever the correspondent bank deducted, and can't start the matter until it lands. A retainer paid by card is reversible for months, which means a client who dislikes the outcome can dispute a fee for work that is already done. This guide shows how a law firm accepts crypto payments in practice: payment links and invoices for retainers and fee statements, recurring billing for fractional-GC and legal-plan clients, a front-desk QR for walk-ins, and stablecoin batch payouts to foreign counsel, expert witnesses and translators. It covers the volatility question that every bar ethics opinion on crypto fees raises — and why settling in USDC or USDT takes that variable off the table — plus what non-custodial settlement actually means when the money is a client's advance fee.

Convenience store stablecoin payments just went through a real POS register

In early August 2026, Lawson — Japan's third-largest convenience chain, 14,697 stores — ran the country's first stablecoin checkout wired directly into an ordinary POS register, at its Takanawa Gateway City store in Tokyo. The customer showed a barcode in a non-custodial wallet, the cashier scanned it with the same scanner used for onigiri, and a regulated yen stablecoin moved in about two seconds. The headline says 'JPYC'; the actual news is the register. Every previous retail stablecoin experiment bolted on a dedicated terminal or a separate QR app — this one disappeared into the checkout ritual that already exists, which is the hard part, and it took a retail chain, a telecom operator, a wallet firm and a payment processor to do it at one store for a closed group of staff. This analysis unpacks what the trial proves about stablecoins at the counter, what it says about who gets to offer them and when, and why an independent shop doesn't have to wait for its POS vendor: a phone with a QR per sale is already a terminal, settling non-custodially to a wallet the merchant controls, with no acquirer and no chargebacks.

A nonprofit's money runs in two directions and both leak. Gifts come in through a donation form that pays a percentage plus a fixed fee on every $20, gets probed by card testers, and can be charged back months later. Funds go out to a field office, a local partner or a missionary through a wire that costs more than a week's budget and clears in three days. Give buttons and QR codes on the inbound side, one stablecoin batch on the outbound side, and every dollar settling to a wallet your board controls.
