Crypto payments for retail stores

A permanent retail location means consistent foot traffic, counter staff who need a clear procedure, and card fees compounding across every transaction all year. The setup is more structured than a mobile wallet: a processor that integrates with your POS, counter signage that explains the option without confusing card customers, and a staff training process that fits in one shift meeting. These guides cover the storefront setup from choosing a processor through training your team and putting signage next to the register.
