Description
It’s safe to say that cryptocurrency as a concept has achieved the status of a novel, intriguing, and exciting exchange medium for both casual crypto users and enterprises that seek to expand their reach towards open and unrestricted financial markets.
This new Q2 2022 dataset contains 103 crypto payment aggregators and will allow you to select a gateway that best suits your interests.
Research Goals and Objectives
- To collect data on crypto payment aggregators;
- To determine the basic operation conditions shared by said payment aggregators;
- To form a dataset of crypto payment aggregators grouped up by advanced criteria.
Disclaimers
The research did not differentiate between cryptocurrencies and tokens due to the possibility of using both as means of payment. Most aggregators also do not separate cryptocurrencies and tokens in their list of available payment options.
The data gathered does not claim absolute completeness and is intermediate in the planned research cycle.
Research Methodology
The crypto payment aggregator research was carried out using open sources and by utilizing the following search methods:
- Google search;
- Own pre-made list of payment aggregators;
- Crypto-accepting online store search via the following service: https://bitcoinwide.com/
For ease of comparison, the resulting information is grouped by the following criteria:
- Payment commission per transaction — transaction fee specified by the aggregator;
- Payment commission MIN, % — minimal transaction fee percentage specified by the aggregator;
- Payment commission MAX, % — maximal transaction fee percentage specified by the aggregator;
- Other payment methods — availability of non-crypto-related payment methods;
- Cryptocurrency list — the list of cryptocurrencies accepted by those aggregators that support less than 10;
- Number of cryptocurrencies — the declared number of cryptocurrencies accepted by the aggregator;
- Conversion to fiat currencies — availability of the option to transfer cryptocurrency payments into fiat currencies;
- PV Score — product attractiveness index, calculated based on comparison of commission conditions and the number of available payment methods.
