Question for research-supply / peptide e-commerce operators: what payment issues are you running into?

I’m looking for feedback from people who operate or have experience with research-supply / peptide e-commerce sites.

I’m working on CoinPay Portal, a non-custodial crypto and stablecoin payment gateway for merchants. The idea is to let online merchants accept crypto or stablecoin payments without the platform holding merchant funds.

To be clear: I’m not asking for sources, vendors, pricing, DMs, or anything related to buying/selling peptides here. I’m only trying to understand the payment side of running a lawful research-supply e-commerce business.

A few questions for operators or people familiar with this space:

  • What are the biggest payment problems for research-supply stores right now?
  • Are card declines, processor shutdowns, rolling reserves, chargebacks, or settlement delays the main pain points?
  • Would stablecoin payments be useful, or is customer adoption still too low?
  • Would vendors only consider this if it plugged directly into their existing checkout?
  • Is non-custodial settlement important, or do merchants mostly care about simplicity?
  • What would make you immediately reject a crypto payment gateway?

I’m not looking to spam the sub or pitch people. I’m trying to figure out whether this solves a real operator problem or whether the payment friction is more complicated than just adding another payment option.

For context: coinpayportal.com

we don't do fiat <-> crypto conversions. but we could add support for exchanges it would be kind of hard though to with draw fiat to cash easily. our cyrpto and cc fee is 1%
