A comparison of the most important Bitcoin payment providers

Comparison of the most important Lightning and Bitcoin payment providers

Anyone who wants to accept Bitcoin payments from their customers in their online store or on the Internet uses the services of a Bitcoin payment provider, also known as a Bitcoin payment service provider or Bitcoin payment processor. We have tested and evaluated the best-known Bitcoin payment providers and created a ranking list. The order of the Bitcoin payment providers can only be a rough guide, as the provision of a payment module for your own online store system will be the most important factor in your personal selection. The most important selection criteria are

  • Does the Bitcoin payment provider offer a payment module for my store system?
  • Are payment tools offered that allow me to accept Bitcoin payments on my website, even if I do not operate an online store?
  • Are Lightning payments supported in addition to Bitcoin?

Other criteria were included in the evaluation and awarded points. The sum of the points resulted in the respective ranking. The evaluation criteria and the number of points to be awarded, according to which the ranking of the best Bitcoin payment providers was created, are explained in more detail at the end of this page.

Coinsnap

1st place

Coinsnap
Coinsnap
Bitcoin Only
Lightning Supported

Coinsnap provides numerous payment modules and payment tools that eCommerce merchants can use to receive Bitcoin and Lightning payments from their customers directly on their own Lightning wallet. As a merchant, all you need is your own Bitcoin Lightning Wallet, which is connected to the Coinsnap system via the Lightning address. Customers’ transactions are then credited directly to their own Lightning Wallet. By connecting to a Bitcoin broker, it is also possible to pay out to your own bank account.

By processing Bitcoin and Lightning payments through Coinsnap, merchants do not need to maintain and operate their own technical infrastructure.

Coinsnap does not hold customer funds at any time. All payments are routed directly to the merchants’ Lightning Wallets, just like a Lightning Routing Node.

For merchants who prefer a payout to a bank account, incoming Lightning payments are forwarded to a Lightning broker, who makes the exchange from Lightning to Euro and then pays out to the merchant’s bank account.

With the payment plugin, merchants can quickly and easily integrate Bitcoin and Lightning payments into existing store systems.

In the article: Coinsnap – Bitcoin and Lightning payment provider, Coinsnap is presented in more detail.

15 points

Bitpay
Bitpay
Lightning Supported

Bitpay was one of the first Bitcoin payment providers and was for a long period of time the largest and most well-known Bitcoin payment provider and was used by most merchants worldwide.

Bitpay lost this special position because it resisted technical innovations and tried to establish its own standard.

BitPay only accepts payments that support the BIP70 protocol. Since not all Bitcoin wallets support this protocol, payers using other Bitcoin wallets experience payment interruptions.

Technical advancements such as Segwit were not supported.

End customers who make a purchase from a merchant that is greater than $1,000 must create a Bitpay ID. For the Bitpay ID, these customers have to legitimize themselves to Bitpay and carry out a legitimation check including KYC.

If you want to use BitPay, you have to apply and pay a registration fee of $75.

A recommendation can no longer be made for the former market leader.

Coinbase Commerce
Coinbase Commerce

Coinbase Commerce is a cryptocurrency payment processing platform that allows merchants to accept cryptocurrencies as a payment method. It was developed and launched by Coinbase, one of the most well-known and largest cryptocurrency exchanges.

Coinbase Commerce allows merchants to accept Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash as payment methods. The platform also supports stablecoins that are tied to the value of the US dollar.

However, Coinbase Commerce does not support Bitcoin payment processing over the Lightning network (Lightning).

The second disadvantage of Coinbase Commerce is that merchants who process payments via Coinbase Commerce must register their customers with Coinbase. Payments from self-hosted wallets are no longer accepted. This means considerable effort for customers and will lead to abandoned purchases, which must be avoided.

The cryptocurrencies taken are credited to the respective crypto wallet at Coinbase. If one has an account with the Coinbase exchange, the incoming cryptocurrencies can be forwarded directly to the exchange and sold there.

An automated conversion is currently not possible in Euro. This option is available only to American customers and for USD exchange.

    With the Coinbase managed solution, the Bitcoin is credited directly to a Coinbase wallet and immediately exchanged for euros.
    The use of Coinbase Commerce is not recommended. Lightning payments are not supported and it is unacceptable that buyers have to register with Coinbase Commerce in order to pay you as a merchant.

Evaluation criteria

On the page Accepting Bitcoin payments in online stores, we have explained what you should look out for when choosing a suitable Bitcoin payment provider. Based on these criteria, we have created a ranking of the best Bitcoin payment providers. The following criteria played a role in the evaluation:

Lightning Supported

Accepts Lightning as well as Bitcoin Onchain – The most important criterion is the ability to pay with Bitcoin Lightning. Providers that do not support Lightning cannot be recommended and are not included in our ranking.

5 points

Bitcoin Only

Bitcoin-only providers vs. many cryptocurrencies – too many cryptocurrencies confuse the payer and lead to aborted purchases. Bitcoin-only providers are therefore preferred.

5 points

Bitcoin Zahlungen im Onlineshop akzeptieren

Number of payment modules – An existing payment module is helpful for simple technical integration. Providers that offer a large selection of payment modules are positive.

1 point per payment module

Payment-Tools

Number of payment tools – Payment tools are helpful for easy acceptance on the Internet. Providers that offer a large selection of payment tools are positive.

1 point per payment tool

api connector

API connection – The possibility of an individual API connection

2 points

Github

GitHub page – Technical support for the integration of payment processing

1 points

Europäischer Bitcoin Zahlungsanbieter

European provider – provider comes from Europe

2 points

Bitcoin Payout

Payout to Bitcoin wallet and optional bank account or stablecoin – Payout to your own Bitcoin wallet is a matter of course. It is positive if the option to pay out to your own bank account is offered. On the negative side, it is only possible to pay out to a bank account.

2 points

Simple registration vs. complicated KYC process – Simple and fast registration is a basic requirement. If a payout to a bank account is offered, a KYC process is unfortunately unavoidable. However, if a KYC process is required for a payout to your own Bitcoin wallet, this is viewed negatively.

3 points

Compulsory registration – With the Bitcoin payment providers BitPay, Coinbase Commerce and Crypto.com, payers must register with the payment provider or use their wallet in order to be able to pay the respective merchant.

-5 points

Euro

Fees – The fees for all providers are around 1% with marginal deviations. These deviations are so small that the fees were not taken into account.
