During the past few years, the cryptocurrency market has exploded in popularity, with digital assets like Bitcoin, Litecoin, Polkadot, and Ethereum growing substantially. It comes as no surprise then that many large corporations, including Tesla, Microsoft, Twitch, Starbucks, and PayPal, all accept payments for their goods and services with cryptocurrency in 2021.

• Bitpay
• Coinbase Commerce
• Paypal
• Coinpayments

Smaller businesses looking to make the most of the crypto craze can also accept digital currencies as payment with the help of online payment processors. Most take about 1% as the transaction fees, which is less than most credit card terms.

Here are six companies that can help you accept digital currencies as payment seamlessly.

The Atlanta-based company, BitPay offers various tools that make it easier to accept payments via crypto. Top features include payment buttons, hosted checkout, invoicing capabilities, and easy integration with QuickBooks and Shopify.

However, it also offers CoinBase Commerce that allows businesses to easily accept cryptocurrency payments with tools such as hosted checkout pages, invoicing capabilities, payment buttons, and integration with Shopify and WooCommerce.
