What payment gateway do people who sell via spam email marketing use?

I currently have 200 k high-quality e-mail addresses (no consent). Wondering how to monetise them, I started researching info-products sold through e-mail marketing. I set up a self-hosted, open-source mailing system on an offshore host, but just when I thought I had everything covered I realised I can’t obtain a payment gateway without supplying my personal or company name—making me easy to trace legally.

1. Accepting only crypto is the obvious route, yet it slashes the pool of willing buyers.
2. The second option I’ve been exploring is to copy what active spammers do. I’ve seen plenty of spam e-mails that “give” you a product and then ask for 2–3 USD to cover shipping. Clicking the link sends you to a checkout that is disguised as a normal item in a Cyprus-based clothing store; some use Hyperpay. I haven’t figured out how to replicate this without exposing my identity.

I need a gateway that:
- lets customers pay by card or crypto
- settles the proceeds to me in crypto
- does not require public KYC/company registration

Does anyone know gateways that fit these requirements?

Thanks in advance.

What you are looking is for a high risk gateway. Something which is widely used by no-shippers. Without KYC, forget that you would be able to sign up with any processor. This limits your options. In my opinion, it would be best for you to work with payment providers, small agencys which process payments for client and charge a percentage off. This would be something which will not require KYC. And don't go with agency's providing stripe or paypal. That's a no brainer for your situation. Work with someone who has there own MIDs and have been processing for industries like no-ship, adult or pharma. They might be able to help you out.

Do you know of any? Or do you know where I can get one?
 
I ended up just doing small digital products via crypto wallets, easier than chasing a gateway.
 
Most cold email blasters promote affiliate offers as the middleman.
You just receive your commisions.
If you are selling something legal, even if you're just asking for the delivery fee, I see no problem using any available payment processing platform.
 
Most reputable payment providers require identity verification (KYC) and will expect merchants to comply with their onboarding and acceptable use policies. If your business model relies on anonymity or avoids those requirements, you're unlikely to find a stable long-term payment solution.

If your goal is to build a sustainable business, it's generally better to use permission-based email marketing, obtain the necessary business registrations, and work with payment providers that openly support your business model. That approach is far more likely to result in long-term account stability than relying on anonymous or temporary payment arrangements.
