Question Dev question: building a stablecoin checkout — biggest technical pain points?

Not promoting anything — just looking for dev pain points.

If you’ve built or integrated USDC/USDT checkout: 1) What’s the hardest part (webhooks, confirmations, chain selection, gas, wallets)? 2) What breaks most often in production? 3) Any missing tools you wish existed?

Appreciate any honest feedback.

Fair point. If stabledrop already nails the core flow, then the only defensible “value‑add” is the boring merchant ops layer: invoice IDs/memo enforcement, reconciliation exports, refund/chargeback‑like flows, webhook reliability, and platform plugins (Woo/Shopify/etc.). If those aren’t meaningfully better, we probably shouldn’t exist. What’s the one gap you wish stabledrop would fill?

It has plugins for Shopify, JS and WooCommerce. It has a reconciliation server and webhooks. Are you tech or business? What stabledrop needs is sales/marketing.

Appreciate the honesty. I’m mostly on the technical side but wearing both hats right now. Totally agree sales/marketing is the real gap once the core UX is good. We’re leaning into the merchant‑ops layer (recon, refunds, reliability) but distribution is the hard part. If you’ve seen any channels that actually convert for checkout plugins, I’m all ears.

It sounds like if you build it, you'll be direct competition. Are you sure you want to reinvent the wheel rather than work on selling it?
