Crypto payments for service businesses
Consultants, repair shops, cleaning services, and similar businesses work with invoices, not a point-of-sale terminal. The setup is different: you're adding a payment line to invoices and client emails, not laminating a QR card for a counter. The math is different too. Saving 2-3% on a $2,000 invoice matters in a way that saving it on a $12 coffee does not. Crypto also eliminates chargeback risk on work already delivered, which is real exposure for anyone who invoices remotely. These guides cover the go-live process for invoice-based workflows, the LLC and tax basics, and wallet security for a business that holds funds between payouts.
