Payment processing via Bitcoin and Lightning
Bitcoin and Lightning Payment Processing with BTCPay Server and opennode
The BTCPayWall is designed for payment processing via Bitcoin and Lightning. These payment methods allow the implementation of business models that are difficult or impossible to implement with other payment methods.
We present the specifics of Bitcoin and Lightning payment processing here, and then we present the Bitcoin payment providers to which BTCPayWall has implemented direct connections.
Advantages of Bitcoin and Lightning payments
Bitcoin and Lightning payment is predestined for small amounts, the so-called micro and nano payments.
When payments are made by credit card, PayPal or any other payment method, the payment service provider charges a percentage fee and a fee per transaction. For payments of small amounts, the payment costs add up to 30% of the purchase amount.
Bitcoin and Lightning payments cost the provider only a few cents. When using their own BTCPay server, it is the operating costs of that server. When sharing a BTCPay server (for example from BTCPayWall), these costs are even waived.
Those who use opennode’s payment services pay a maximum of 1% of the purchase amount for Bitcoin and Lightning payment processing and receive the equivalent value in Euros or USD credited to their bank account.
Bitcoin and Lightning payments are final payments and cannot be reversed. Once the payment has been executed by the customer, it can no longer be stopped or objected to. The provider is guaranteed to receive the payment credited and does not have to fear any chargebacks.
This makes it possible to dispense with any risk tools or customer verification in order to start a collection process in the event of a possible chargeback.
This eliminates the cost of risk analysis and collection costs or loss of revenue due to chargebacks.
In addition, that the Bitcoin payments are final and risk-free, the crediting of the turnover (settlement) takes place immediately and without delay directly with the provider.
