There should be different pricing for what currencies force you to do.
If you never deal with XMR, like myself, then accepting it would probably increase the cost of my services to account for me having to go through a hoop to end in Bitcoin.
If they want to do that instead and reap the benefits of paying me in my unit of account, then great.
I wouldn't say no to any currency that I can reasonably trust it's ability to be changed into bitcoins.
If the reason for not accepting Monero is that you don't want to waste your time with all that, or find it difficult to flip into your unit of account then that's understandable.
Yet, I'd be remiss if you didn't charge more to make it worth your time - that's kinda lazy & dismissing the fact that people want to spend money they have with less friction.
Merchants should be willing to deal with more friction than consumers.

Yeah this makes sense, but would add to the friction on my end. I can accept BTC seamlessly via BTCPayServer, it goes direct to my node– no intermediaries– and I don't have to worry about swapping or anything else afterwards. BTC is my unit of account, MoE, and SoV all in one. No need to look further; If customers have XMR, or fiat, or any other currency they wish to use (salt, seashells, cigarettes) and they wish to support my business– the best way for them to do so, is trade whatever they have, for Bitcoin– and #SpendSats.🫡
no reason to not do that. many merchants have fiat price, and a discounted price for cryptos. And I'm sure most wouldn't mind paying a little bit extra to save them the time and money it costs to convert themselves. Its just better customer service to give the customers options, and will bring in more customers which ios good for the business.
