we are still in an idea stage of a crypto/blockchain based project, we would like to recieve only the token created by us as payment for our service but wouldn't want to lose out on clients that are not yet crypto savvy and all so we would like to create a payment processor that would automatically convert fiat to the token via debit/credit card. is that even possible?
 
If I understood you correctly, you will need some trading platform who allows deposit (and then exchange) via Credit/Debit card and has automated API for that. Quite complicated to be frank. Why not just take the money and exchange it for token in bulk? Let's say, each week you receive $50000 from you clients and put the 50K to the exchange?
 
This is difficult to do in a direct way. Normally you want to get listed on an exchange and send the leads there to purchase your tokens. However an exchange listing is very expensive and often takes pretty long.
If you have a solidity coder on board, you could code smart contract that "refunds" ETH payments to the ERC-20 compliant wallet in your token at the current rate. However, if not listed on exchanges where shall the contract get the USD price from?
 
I made a few weeks ago some research on this topic and trust me is not something a easy to do and not because of the programming.
The biggest problem is getting accepted for processing payments. They are some many regulation and certification that you need to get, and because of so many active payment processors available now, I didn't find any easy option.

the only way to do it, is to get accepted by a payment processor and create the script for exchange.
