How to choose
The merchant listings are stores that accept cryptocurrency for goods, voucher products redeemable for cash-like value, and self-hosted acceptance software for running the merchant side without a payment processor. Coins accepted, checkout requirements, and delivery options are recorded per listing, and several accept Monero.
For a buyer, the payment leg and the delivery leg leak differently. Paying from a self-custody wallet tells the merchant little beyond the order itself, while shipping a physical item attaches a name and an address to it. Digital goods and pickup options change that calculus, and each record notes what checkout actually requires. Merchants that use third-party processors also inherit the processor’s screening and reporting behavior, which the acceptance-software listings exist to avoid.
- What checkout requires: an account, an email, or nothing.
- Delivery options for physical goods, which set the identity cost of the purchase.
- Accepted coins, and whether payment goes to the merchant directly or through a processor.
- Refund handling, since crypto payments carry no chargeback path.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does paying with crypto hide identity from a merchant?
The payment reveals little when it comes from a self-custody wallet. Delivery is the identity event for physical goods, and account or email requirements are recorded per listing.
Why is acceptance software listed with merchants?
It is the merchant side of the same transaction: self-hosted processing keeps payment data with the merchant instead of a processor. It appears here so both sides of a direct payment are covered.
What reporting applies to crypto purchases?
Regulated processors and money service businesses file reports under their local rules, and direct merchant acceptance sits outside that pipeline. The linked article explains one reporting regime in plain terms.
