Nepting x Lyzi: Crypto Payment Deployed Across the Full Omnichannel Payment Stack

Nepting, one of the most architecturally open payment platforms in France and a structural alternative to Adyen's closed ecosystem has integrated Lyzi natively across its infrastructure. The result: every merchant running on Nepting can now accept more than 80 cryptocurrencies across all terminal formats: POS, SoftPOS, self-ordering kiosks.

This is not a feature addition. It is the logical outcome of an open payment architecture that refuses forced verticalisation and that recognises crypto payment as a mainstream payment method that deserves proper distribution infrastructure.

Nepting: The Open Platform Taking Market Share from Adyen

Understanding the weight of this partnership requires understanding what Nepting has become over 20+ years. Where Adyen locks merchants into proprietary hardware, exclusive acquirers and a closed payment stack, Nepting built the counter-model:

Multi-terminal : Ingenico, Sunmi, PAX, Newland, Castles Technology — the merchant chooses their hardware
Multi-POS system : 120+ integrations (Oracle, JDC, Kappture, Lundi Matin, DigiFood, AnyCommerce...)
Multi-processor : the merchant selects their acquirer, or splits flows across multiple processors by country or transaction type
Multi-channel : POS, SoftPOS, e-commerce, payment links — one platform, unified reporting
100% cloud : real-time terminal management and transaction monitoring from a single central portal

This open architecture is precisely what makes the Lyzi integration technically clean: Nepting didn't need to rebuild anything. Lyzi plugged in as a payment method like any other within the multi-solution ecosystem.

"Nepting positions itself as a major player in payment innovation. By integrating Lyzi, we give merchants the ability to accept crypto with simplicity and a high level of security on their payment terminals."— Jean-Paul Dalmas, CEO, Nepting

What the Partnership Delivers in Practice

For Merchants

Remote activation — no terminal replacement, no POS system change
80+ cryptocurrencies accepted: Bitcoin, Ethereum, stablecoins (USDC, USDT, EURCV), Dogecoin and more
500+ compatible wallets: Binance, MetaMask, Trust Wallet, WhitePay and the full mainstream wallet ecosystem
Euro settlement — funds converted and paid to the merchant account next day, zero crypto volatility exposure
Automated reconciliation via Lyzi's infrastructure — identical reporting format to card transactions, no additional accounting overhead
Available across POS, SoftPOS and self-ordering kiosks — every Nepting terminal format

For the End Customer

Customer selects "Pay in crypto" at the terminal
A QR code is generated on the POS
Customer scans from their wallet in seconds
Transaction confirmed, receipt issued — identical UX to a contactless card payment

On the Regulatory Side

The entire payment flow is processed by Lyzi as an ACPR-regulated payment agent (REGAFI n°26900) and KNF-registered VASP (Polish Financial Supervision Authority — EU-passportable registration). AML/KYC compliance is carried entirely by Lyzi — neither Nepting nor the merchant bears any crypto regulatory complexity.

Why Nepting Merchants Should Activate Lyzi Now

A Structurally Under-Served Crypto Customer Base in Physical Retail

12% of French people hold crypto assets (ADAN – KPMG), skewing heavily toward 18–35 year olds and international profiles. Across Europe, nearly 10% of the population holds crypto assets. These people spend, travel and consume — but find almost no physical retail infrastructure capable of accepting their preferred payment method.

A merchant activating crypto in 2026 is not ahead of the curve. They are filling a genuine distribution gap.

A High-Spending, Internationally Profiled Customer Segment

Crypto holders are statistically over-represented among international travellers, premium buyers and technology early adopters. For merchants in the verticals where Nepting is deployed — mid-to-high-end retail, hospitality, leisure, food service — crypto acceptance is an immediate differentiator, especially in tourist-heavy locations.

A Competitive Advantage Before Mainstream Adoption

Crypto acceptance is still a competitive advantage in 2026. Within 24 to 36 months, it will be a market standard, driven by institutional stablecoin adoption and MiCA roll-out across Europe. Merchants activating today build a first-mover advantage in brand perception and customer loyalty with this growing segment.

The Technical Architecture: How Lyzi Integrates Into Nepting

Nepting's platform being designed from the ground up as multi-payment-solution and multi-processor, the Lyzi integration requires no infrastructure rework:

Nepting Terminal — QR code display, crypto payment flow initiation
Lyzi Infrastructure — on-chain detection, real-time conversion, AML/KYC screening
Lyzi Settlement — euro transfer to merchant account, next business day
Nepting Reporting — crypto transactions appear in the Nepting portal in the same format as card transactions

"With Lyzi, we continue our mission: making cryptocurrency payments accessible to everyone, without friction. Through Nepting, we accelerate this adoption further by integrating our solution into an already well-established merchant network."— Damien Patureaux, CEO of Lyzi

Deployed in 400,000+ Points of Sale: Lyzi Is the Reference Infrastructure

Lyzi is not a wallet or a consumer crypto app. It is a crypto payment infrastructure deployed across more than 400,000 points of sale in France and Europe, operating under dual regulatory approval (ACPR REGAFI n°26900 + KNF EU VASP registration).

Lyzi's merchant network — including Printemps, Porsche, Lamborghini, Fitness Park, Barrière Group, JOA Casinos, SBM Monaco — demonstrates the capacity to operate at scale across demanding multi-site retail verticals.

For PSPs and acquirers looking to deploy crypto payment across their merchant network without owning the regulatory or technical complexity, Lyzi's PSP and banking infrastructure is the direct path.
