For your customers
Cryptocurrency is particularly popular as a payment method among buyers who value privacy. Unlike credit card or bank transactions, when using a crypto wallet, they do not need to provide sensitive data and can shop pseudonymously.
People interested in economics also rely on cryptocurrencies as they provide protection against the devaluation of their own fiat currency, such as the euro or dollar. Tether, for example, as a stablecoin, is not subject to any market fluctuations or similar uncertainties.
Furthermore, cryptocurrencies are regarded as a modern and innovative form of payment that is steadily gaining popularity and can be used in more and more countries, regions, and online shops. The worldwide availability and independence from national currencies or banking systems is therefore another important advantage of this payment method.

How can one pay with cryptocurrencies?
Cryptocurrencies are acquired, traded, and spent using digital wallets. Depending on the network and currency, different wallets or apps are required. The payment itself usually works via QR code: This is displayed in the online shop after selecting the cryptocurrency payment method and can then easily be scanned by the buyers.
This is also the case with crypto within the payment service Payrexx Pay: If customers choose this payment method, they will be shown a QR code after entering some data. They can then scan this directly with their crypto wallet to make the payment. You as the Comerciante will receive your money as usual in the payout currency you have set – simple and uncomplicated.
What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is arguably the most popular and well-known cryptocurrency worldwide. It was introduced in 2009 as a direct response to the financial crisis of 2008. At that time, many people lost trust in the traditional banking system and looked for an alternative. Bitcoin emerged as a so-called peer-to-peer electronic cash system: a network where users can trade directly with each other and exchange currencies.
What exactly is cryptocurrency?
Cryptocurrencies are digital or virtual currencies secured by cryptography. Behind them is a sophisticated technology based on the so-called blockchain.
It is important to know that cryptocurrencies – unlike payment methods such as credit card or bank transfer – are not based on usual currencies like Euro or Dollar. This independence is appreciated by many users.
Stablecoins, on the other hand, are cryptocurrencies designed to maintain a stable value. Unlike volatile cryptocurrencies – such as Bitcoin or Ether – the prices of stablecoins do not fluctuate constantly but are linked to a stable asset.
