Proxy services work with customers from different countries and sell digital access that should be provided immediately after payment.
Therefore, it is important to offer convenient payment methods: bank cards and other traditional methods, as well as cryptocurrency. The more options customers have, the fewer reasons they have to abandon a purchase.
Why Proxy Services Use Crypto
Crypto payments are not tied to a specific bank, card, or country, making them suitable for international customers.
For businesses, the key benefits are:
International customers.
Different cryptocurrencies and networks.
Automatic payment verification.
Fast access after payment.
For a digital product, this is especially important: customers expect to receive their proxy access immediately after payment confirmation.
How the Payment Works
The customer chooses a cryptocurrency and network, receives the exact amount and payment address, and sends the funds from their wallet.
Once the transaction appears on the blockchain, the payment system verifies it and updates the status. Your website can use this status to automatically provide proxy access, renew a subscription, or add funds to the customer balance.
API and webhook notifications allow you to connect the payment to the order status and automate the process.
What You Need to Get Started
Choose a payment service.
Determine which currencies and networks will be available to customers.
Integrate the API.
Set up status and webhook handling.
Run a test payment.
Connect automatic service delivery.
The key is to connect successful payments to your order system so access is provided automatically.
Choosing a Payment Service
For a proxy service, the fee is not the only factor.
When choosing a service, check:
Supported cryptocurrencies and networks.
Payment detection speed.
API and webhook availability.
Fees.
How funds are held.
Ease of integration and support availability.
It is also important to understand where the funds go.
With a custodial model, funds are held by the payment platform and withdrawn through its system. With a non-custodial model, payments go directly to the business wallet.
Crypto Payments with CryptoNow
The customer chooses a payment method, receives the exact amount and payment address, and sends the crypto from their wallet. CryptoNow automatically tracks the transaction and sends the payment status to the store system.
Funds go directly to the merchant wallets set in the Dashboard. CryptoNow does not hold the funds. The fixed fee is 1% and is charged from the merchant's internal balance.
Conclusion
For a proxy service, crypto payments are a simple way to offer more payment options to international customers and automate digital access after payment.
The key is choosing the right payment service, setting up the integration, and making sure payments are reliably detected while keeping the checkout simple for customers.
