We had the shop running for a few months and the first months were good, it kept climbing, and then sales just went down. We had no proper card option. People either had to send money to an IBAN, or we sent them off to some other company where they had to buy crypto first, make an account, upload an ID, do the whole KYC. Nobody knew those companies, so a lot of customers simply did not go through with it. Once we switched, we told our influencers they could say openly that we take Apple Pay and normal cards. Ten days in we were already well past what we used to do in a whole month, and after two weeks we were six figures. The month before that we were five figures. Having Klarna and names people recognise is worth more than I thought. The other offers we had held over 10% reserve for 180 days, a monthly fee on top and more than 10% per transaction. This is the best deal we have had. They also set up a Hong Kong company and a US LLC for us so you cannot see straight away who is behind the shop.

We came from another high-risk provider that held a lot of our money as reserve. One day the account was just closed and the balance was gone with it. We never got it back and we never heard from them again. Talking to other shops, apparently that is normal in this corner of the market. Here the money moves and nothing sits with anyone.

Our account at the previous provider was blocked within the first days. They could not unblock it and told us we would have to buy a new one, and that it could happen again at any time. We were pretty done with it. We moved everything over and since then it has just worked.

Customers kept asking whether they could pay with PayPal. We were new, so we were not exactly trustworthy to them yet. Everyone knows what happens to a PayPal account in our category without a proper setup, it is gone in days or a few weeks. Through VTORA it has stayed open, and we get noticeably more orders, because people know they can open a case with PayPal if something goes wrong.

We do well over six figures a month, and for us the crypto option is the right one. The money is on our wallet the moment the customer pays, so there is no bank in the middle that can flag anything and no account that can suddenly be frozen. We pay suppliers straight away and our affiliates the same day, without wondering whether someone is going to hold it. It costs a bit more, but at our volume it pays for itself.

What sold it for us was that we did not pay everything up front. Half on order, the rest once it was actually running in our shop. Two weeks later our checkout was live with cards and Apple Pay, and the first payout landed the next day. After a year of providers who wanted money before anything worked, that was a change.
