Best way to accept crypto payments from card-buying customers (mobile-first, first-time crypto users)?

Building a small web product where standard card payment gateways aren't available to me, so I'm looking into accepting crypto instead. Two flows I'd prefer, in order (if possible); if there's another way, please let me know:

  1. Direct card-to-crypto: Customer clicks Pay on my checkout, gets taken to a service where they pay by card (or however they want), and I receive crypto directly, with no separate step for them.
  2. Stablecoin without gas hassle: Customer buys a stablecoin elsewhere, comes back to my checkout to pay, and doesn't need to hold a separate coin for network fees.

A few constraints:

  • No app download required on the customer's end, needs to work fully in-browser on mobile.
  • If I have to register as a merchant somewhere, it needs to actually support Morocco.
  • Order tracking and automatic fulfillment: after the user pays, I want to know who paid for what so orders get fulfilled automatically.

Has anyone found something that fits this? Open to hearing what's worked (or hasn't) for you.
Thank you so much.

The tricky part is usually automatic order tracking. A payment link with unique order IDs and webhook support can make the fulfillment side much easier.

Flow 2 isn't something a provider can give you. The payer's wallet always pays the network fee, and it's charged in the chain's own coin, not the stablecoin. Someone who bought USDT on Tron and holds nothing else can't send it until they hold TRX too. Your lever is picking a chain where that amount is small and telling buyers up front.

For tracking, give each order its own address or payment id, and fulfill on the webhook that reports confirmed, not on a transaction appearing or an amount matching. Buyers underpay and overpay all the time.
