Do you need a payment tool?
People to people transactions are a very important part of the cryptocurrency payment. Moreover in simple words we can say that you don’t need to involve any third party for the payment purpose. For example bitcoin can be accepted free of cost as well as sent in the same fashion. However, it needs lots of time and some knowledge about the technology. There are third party tools to perform this task for you. So at first you need to decide whether you want the third party tool to help you out or you will set up everything on your own. Never involve the third party all until and unless you cannot do it yourself.
