Need to accept crypto or stablecoins? Let’s make it simple.
Clarity before cost. One text before you change anything.
Text PJ · 773-544-1231Stripe and card networks clip 2.5–3.5% per transaction. For high-volume merchants that’s a real cost. Crypto and stablecoin rails often run significantly lower — but only if you set them up right.
ACH takes 1–3 days. Cards often next-day at best. Cash flow pressure builds. Stablecoin settlement can happen in seconds — which changes how you operate, especially on weekends.
Wallets, processors, USDC, Solana, x402, self-custody — the landscape is noisy. Most operators don’t need to understand all of it. They need to know which three things apply to them.
That’s what SideGuy does.
Volume, processor, bank, pain point. One text or a quick note is enough.
Card + crypto hybrid, stablecoin rails, instant settlement setup — only what fits your situation. We skip the rest.
Clear next steps. No retainer required to start the conversation. No pressure if it’s not the right move yet.
This helps us give you clarity fast.
Text PJ with 2–3 lines about your situation and we’ll map the cleanest path.
Text PJ · 773-544-1231Most engagements begin with a focused Clarity Session. We map your current payment stack, identify unnecessary cost or friction, and outline a practical next step — before any long-term commitment.
This protects your time, protects your budget, and keeps decisions grounded.
Clarity before cost.
Not necessarily. Sometimes hybrid models reduce fees without disruption.
It depends on structure. We evaluate rails, custody, and compliance before recommending changes.
Payment architecture should align with accounting and reporting frameworks.
A Clarity Session reviewing your current stack and cost exposure.
Describe your payment situation in one text. We’ll tell you your options, what matters, and what to ignore.
No retainers. No pitch. No weird portals.
Text PJ · 773-544-1231The honest case for crypto payments: it only makes sense if your customers are already crypto-comfortable, or you have a specific cost problem with traditional processing. Don't adopt it because it sounds innovative. Adopt it if the math works for your specific situation.
