Why merchants add PYMSTR.
$1,000 setup fee before you process a single payment
B2BinPay charges a $1,000 setup fee plus KYB documentation and contract negotiations. That's money out the door before processing a single transaction. PYMSTR is $0 to start. Sign up and accept payments in 5 minutes.
Custodial means your funds are at risk
B2BinPay holds your funds in their infrastructure, the same structural risk that led to the CoinsPaid ($37M) and Alphapo ($60M) hacks. PYMSTR is non-custodial. Payments settle directly to your wallet. Nothing to hack, nothing to freeze.
Blocked in the USA
B2BinPay is not available to US-based operators. If you have US operations or US customers, B2BinPay isn't an option. PYMSTR has no geographic restrictions and serves merchants worldwide.
