You have chosen a tool, set up checkout, and briefed staff. The first week is about letting it settle in without drama. The best launches are quiet ones.
This checklist keeps the first seven days low-stress, so you learn from real payments before you make any noise about the option.
Days one and two: switch on quietly
- Turn the option on without announcing it.
- Run one real payment yourself to confirm the whole flow.
- Make sure the counter sign and staff card are in place.
Midweek: let staff run it
Let the team handle real customer payments with the three-step routine. Watch for the small friction points, where the sign sits, how the QR is presented, and smooth them out. Keep the escalation rule front of mind.

End of week: review
- Check that settlements and records look right in your dashboard.
- Confirm the numbers match your books.
- Ask staff what felt awkward and fix it.
- Only now, if you are happy, start mentioning the option to customers.
Common questions
- Should I announce crypto payments right away?
- Usually no. A quiet first week lets you fix small issues before drawing attention. Announce once the flow feels smooth.
- What should I check at the end of week one?
- That settlements, records, and your books agree, and that staff are comfortable. Those three confirm you are ready to promote it.
