why cryptocurrencies?

That's a great question. Unlike with traditional payment platforms (Stripe, Paypal, etc.), we pay no fees for transactions made with crypto currencies. As a consequence, we offer 3% more tokens to our customers for the same price!

What are you using for crypto payments? was the integration complex?

An API is great but slow. Do you provide raw access to your database in CSV or other formats?

We understand an API introduces latency that might not be appropriate for some use cases. At this time we do not provide raw access to our database (although that’s something we aim to provide in the medium/long term). In the short term, we are working on a Docker image that you can deploy in your own infrastructure and co-locate with existing services.

Don’t hesitate to contact us (support@ipregistry.co) to discuss your use case.

We're using Coinbase Commerce (https://commerce.coinbase.com).

Our experience was better with Coinbase than Paypal and we think it is as simple as Stripe, even if Stripe may require some work depending on what you want to achieve but their documentation is fantastic!

The worst solution from an integration point of view was Paypal. Their documentation is outdated, their dashboard UX is bad and their client libraries lack maintenance.

The only drawback we noticed while integrating Coinbase Commerce is that there is no testing flow provided. As a solution, we had to create a second account dedicated to testing and use real crypto.
