Why Australian Venues Accept Bitcoin Payments in 2026
Something quiet is happening in Australian hospitality right now. Not a trend yet, but a shift—quietly and practically, venue owners are accepting cryptocurrency as payment at the point of sale.
Venue Smart is proud to be working with Triple-A, the global institutional digital currency platform. Triple-A’s payment gateway enables merchants to accept cryptocurrency as a payment method for goods & services.
Venue Smart’s crypto payment solution lets you accept digital currency from customers wherever they pay. Powered by Triple-A, our gateway supports major cryptocurrencies and specialises in secure, real-time crypto transaction processing.
This means you can accept digital currencies at checkout just like you would a card payment.
Whether you’re running an e-commerce store, hospitality venue, or multi-site retail business, we make it simple to add crypto as a payment method that fits into your existing payment acceptance setup. For your business, that translates to:
Accept crypto face-to-face at the counter with supported EFTPOS terminals that integrate directly into your existing setup.
Perfect for hospitality, retail, and venues with physical presence.
Add crypto acceptance to your online checkout using our payment gateway or POP platform. Support multiple currencies, automate routing, and give customers more choice at checkout.
As with any payment method, processing fees apply to cover gateway infrastructure, transaction validation, liquidity access and execution.
Crypto payment pricing isn’t one-size-fits-all. Costs depend on how you configure settlement, the currencies you accept, and your overall transaction profile.
When assessing a crypto payment gateway, there are typically several components involved:
One key advantage of crypto acceptance is flexibility. If you elect to settle in AUD, the cryptocurrency can be converted during processing—helping reduce volatility exposure and simplifying accounting.
Your local Venue Smart representative will provide a tailored fee structure based on:
This ensures pricing is aligned to how your business actually operates.
Accepting cryptocurrency should not mean compromising on security or regulatory standards. Venue Smart’s crypto solution, powered through Triple-A, is designed with enterprise-grade controls built in.
Triple-A operates as a regulated digital currency payment provider in key jurisdictions, maintaining compliance frameworks including AML and KYC controls at the gateway level. This means transaction monitoring and risk controls are embedded into the payment flow.
Accepting cryptocurrency payments is permitted in Australia. However, businesses remain responsible for their own accounting, GST treatment and reporting obligations. Settlement structure and tax implications may vary depending on your setup, so professional advice is recommended.
For most merchants, crypto becomes simply another payment method—integrated, compliant and supported locally through Venue Smart.
