Most businesses accept crypto through a payment processor. It shouldn't be much different than accepting credit cards or apple/google pay.

I believe Bitpay and Square are some of the largest.

Edit: what I mean is the customer can pay in whatever, and you get the USD equivalent.

Almost zero businesses accept crypto as payment. And if and when that changes significantly the relevant government will put a stop to it quickly. Currencies are not some abstract thing which can be invented and utilized ad hoc. They are the exclusive right of sovereign states as they are the mechanism by which those states express economic power on the world stage.
