I'm looking to start an e-commerce store (all legit) but I don't want to leak my name on the professor, I'm completely happy with using any payment processor etc. I do have a UK business but this doesn't solve the issue because company house shows director name when you search the business name.
Not trying to hide from the companies, low risk biz and wouldn't typically have chargebacks, just more interested in personal anonymity.
Debating using a PayPal business and setting the shop name as the business name but unsure if that'd be a good idea.
If you’re running e-commerce, it’s risky to rely only on fiat processors.
With fiat, you deal with high MDR rates that can easily eat into your margins, constant risks of account freezes or sudden closures with providers like PayPal or Stripe, and the fact that your business is tied to geography since you can only take payments from the countries your processor supports.
Crypto fixes most of these problems. Once a transaction is confirmed it’s final, so you don’t have to worry about chargebacks. The fees are usually around one percent or less, which means you actually keep more of your revenue, and you can︀ sell globally without worrying about whether a customer’s card issuer blocks the payment.
That’s why︁ we use NowPayments. They let you accept over three hundred cryptocurrencies which all auto-convert to︂ BTC after checkout, making it seamless for both the customer and the merchant. You can︃ even see it live on our own site here: OVZA Cryptocurrency Checkout.
