I have a business and the margins are negative to breakeven. part of this is the rate people are scamming using services and chargebacks. It is small but it happens.
Basically, you order custom, we make custom and you pick up. There is zero chance of you not getting the custom order. But we do not have zero chargebacks.
I see maps of services much smaller than us even though we still are small potatoes in our industry, that accept bitcoin payments and all over the map these are square app enabled lightning network payments. no chargebacks and most importantly over that no interchange fees. How can I start taking bitcoin payments? Is my business too big? Is it only service businesses being allowed since they do not charge sales tax? I would make all inclusive pricing if sales tax were the issue. Both interchange and chargebacks are drowning me. There is often no money to pay myself when these people steal this way. It took three months of working a second job to finally be back to cashflow positive. Except quarterly sales tax is due in weeks so we may actually still be negative on that aspect.
I just want to get paid for the service and goods we provide. I dont want to educate people how to make things harder on the little guy so I wont elaborate. People pay once they have the goods and services provided in person. We dont know a better way to combat the ways people are scamming the system but taking bitcoin payments would be a step in that direction.
Bitcoin is money. Treat as such. As cash money.
Any bitcoin and lightning wallet can help you get started, there are some that have POS embed systems but does not look like you are looking into such thing as I understand you are offering a IRL service.
I suggest start with custodial ones, learn how it works and with time you strategize more in one of these two ways:
Either way there's no magic and everything need time to learn and make yourself, and your customers, comfortable with this new technology.
From a legal perspective, and give you an example, I can tell you that I personally and in our businesses deal and manage bitcoin payments as if they are cash payments.
I dont get it you asking for legal or technical advise
