How to Handle Payments Anonymously for Online Services?

[orangecheese]

Hey everyone,

I’ve been running a small online service (Chegg-related and other tools) through Discord, and it’s been growing pretty well. The thing is, I’ve only been accepting crypto payments so far because I wanted to keep things anonymous and avoid any legal issues with cards or payment processors.

But I’m realizing I could probably get way more sales if I start accepting card payments or something more user-friendly. The problem is, I have no idea how to do that without raising red flags or running into issues later.

I’ve looked into platforms like Sellix and Stripe, but I’m not sure how to use them in a way that keeps things anonymous. Is there a way to handle payments securely while still keeping things discreet?

If anyone has experience with this or has figured out a good system, I’d really appreciate the advice. I’m open to suggestions, anything from how to set things up to what platforms work best.

Thanks in advance for any tips!

How about you focus on taking/using solely crypto payment processors for now, and normalize the use of crypto for your clients/customers because crypto is user-friendly, and no payment processor would honestly allow you to create anonymous accounts, even using fake dets to create accounts are against their TOS. Only way to use platforms like Sellix and Stripe anonymously is to buy an already created account which can also be banned at any moment.

Some payment services, in addition to crypto, also accept cards, but after checking the service. If you pass the verification, you will be able to accept payments by cards until the first complaint.

When buying a Stripe account or whatever, how would I cash out if its a bought account? Would I still have to link my personal bank or something?

Many banks provide the option of placing a payment button on the website. Check with your bank, perhaps it also has such a feature. As an option.
