Hello everyone, in this article we will take a look at Speed Alternatives. Speed is a Bitcoin Payment Gateway that was launched in recent years and supports the Lightning Network.
With Speed, you can accept Bitcoin Payments from both the main Bitcoin network and the Lightning Network, which is a layer two solution. However, we will inform you about alternatives to Speed.
CryptoPay
At the top of our list is CryptoPay, our commission-free, peer-to-peer and KYC-free plugin developed entirely for WordPress and WooCommerce. In addition to supporting all EVM networks internally, CryptoPay is modular and can work with other blockchain networks with extra network support plugins.
For example, the above is the main plugin and only supports Ethereum, i.e. EVM networks. However, by purchasing the Bitcoin Payments support below (one-time) you can start accepting peer-to-peer crypto payments completely commission-free.
You can also accept payments from a limited number of EVM blockchain networks and cryptocurrencies with the free lite version without the need to purchase the premium version.
BitPay
We continue our list of Speed Alternatives with the must-have BitPay. BitPay is one of the oldest companies in this industry, serving since 2013. The company that comes to mind when it comes to Bitcoin Payments also supports other popular cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum. It serves with commission rates of 1% + 0.25 USD.
The company also offers services such as Crypto Debit Card. So with a BitPay Card you order, you can easily shop with the crypto balances in your account.
