Title: Bootstrapping a Crypto-Friendly E-commerce Store: Tips and Tricks?

Hey fellow devs and crypto enthusiasts! I'm looking to create an e-commerce store that accepts various cryptocurrencies, but I'm stuck on how to get started with integrating crypto payment gateways and what kind of fees to expect. Has anyone else gone down this road and got some valuable lessons to share?

"Hey guys, I've had success with a crypto-friendly e-commerce store by integrating CoinPayments and BitPay for various altcoins and stablecoins. It's a no-brainer for customers who use crypto, but it's worth noting that fiat payments might not be as smooth due to fees and conversion rates."

"Hey guys, just wanted to chime in - if you're bootstrapping a crypto store, make sure you're familiar with the tax implications of crypto transactions. Some countries are cracking down on unreported crypto gains, so get your ducks in a row before you start selling. Has anyone else dealt with this issue?"

"Hey guys, I've had some success with this by using open-source e-commerce platforms like OpenCart or WooCommerce, which have decent crypto payment integrations. Also, look into merchant accounts from services like BitPay or Coinbase Commerce - they can help simplify the process. Has anyone else tried this route?"

"Just got into this myself, but I think one of the most important things is having a solid payment gateway that accepts major cryptos. You don't want to limit your customer base to those who only accept FIAT. Anyone tried any reliable services for this?"

"Hey guys, I've had some success bootstrapping my own e-commerce store with a niche focus on crypto-related merchandise. The key for me was using Shopify's built-in cryptocurrency payment gateway and partnering with some bigger crypto influencers for promotion. Has anyone else seen some traction with this combo?"
