I've been thinking about doing the same.

Seems like most of answers here are BTC. Anything available in ETH yet? Or maybe XLM?

A Stripe for crypto would be awesome.

Stripe used to have Bitcoin payments. Bitcoin payments fell out of fashion when fees started to rise. Let's see if they re-enable it with Lightning.

stripe has a lot of restrictions about what you can and can't use stripe for. I don't see stripe ever being a stripe for crypto - it's just nice ux with all the restrictions of visa/mc plus more restrictions to avoid the darker sides of some crpyt - like here's some crypt option with added regulations, plus more added rules and regulations from our overlords and some other overlords.

You might check out zkcheckout from zksync who run a zk-rollup that inherits the full security of Ethereum with pennies for fees. This would allow for direct stablecoin payments without an intermediary and is fully self custodial (unlike strike).

Your bet best in accepting crypto directly with minimum fuss is setting up a crypto wallet and not attempting to bridge to fiat. this framework will get you off the ground quickly

you can peg your crypto prices to fiat and advertise the crypto as floating that is final at the checkout. thats standard practice.

Flexa is basically Stripe for crypto and it supports ETH and XLM. https://flexa.network/currencies
