I mean there tends to be overhead and fees that are greater than most other payment processors, no?

This is the big reason I haven’t even tried paying via crypto:

€ ➡️ bitcoin ➡️seller

Every step has huge costs that make no sense if there’s an alternative around. And mostly require a large minimum. Nope!

stripe has a 1,5% fee for crypto transactions. Dunno if that's a lot or?

[–] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 days ago

It's not just about the processor fee, though I don't know why the hell you would use stripe when they're one of the outfits screwing over itch right now. It's about the fees to convert into crypto for the buyer, and convert out of crypto for the seller.
