Yes, it's frustrating when businesses stop accepting bitcoin. And BTW, Coinbase sucks.
For SimpleLogin you can get vouchers with bitcoin at: https://digitalgoods.proxysto.re/en Or pay on-chain for ProtonMail and get a plan that includes SimpleLogin.
Edit: I just tried ProxyStore but it looks like they only accept on-chain.

Thanks for the suggestions.
Im guessing its "trendy" for these stores to go the "coinbase commerce" route and its sad. Coinbase commerce app is now forcing users to connect with certain ETH shitcoin centered wallets, cant use Sparrow or any privacy focused wallet to send on-chain payments. The only hardwere wallet they give an option to connect to is Ledger, go figure.

This was discussed on SN a while ago.
I don't think that the stores chose it for being trendy, but because it was good and very easy to integrate. Coinbase Commerce used to be a very nice self-custodial merchant solution to accept on-chain payments, but of course they had to screw it up with smart contracts and BS. Maybe some merchants just don't know much about the recent changes. Letting the merchants know might help make some of them consider other solutions.
