Hi Steemers,
In this post I will be listing and analyzing several Apps dedicated for accepting Crypto Currencies in our Businesses. Take in mind that some of them will be highly location restricted but this post is intended to help audience in as much countries as it can. Also I will not be covering every single app out there since they are several, but rest assured that I will try to cover at least one that would work in your country. Hope this helps your business start accepting crypto or even you as a freelancer!
If none of the following solutions work from you given your location or currency, please let me know and I will do my best to find one suitable for you.
BitPay
BitPay is for me one of the most complete systems out there for Bitcoin acceptance since it has a lot of Payment Tools, a really nice merchant Dashboard, it has settlements to the local currency of a lot of countries and from the ones I am analyzing in this post is the only one that has a web interface and also iOS and Android native applications.
BitPay has 2 possible packages to work with, Starter and Business, this packages have different features but one of the main differences is that the Starter has no transaction fee but a limit of 30 transactions a month whereas the Business package charges 1% transaction fee and has unlimited transactions.
Also it is the Bitcoin Payment provider that works for more countries, it has Settlements in 9 different currencies, direct bank deposits in 38 countries and bitcion settlements in 240 countries.
