Coins and networks
Which assets merchants actually receive and on which networks. The asset name is the smaller half of the question, because the same token on a cheap chain and an expensive chain is commercially a different product to the person paying.

Why does the network matter more than the coin?
Because the transfer cost is paid by your customer and varies by orders of magnitude between chains carrying the identical token. A customer paying a small invoice will abandon rather than pay a transfer fee worth a tenth of the purchase, which is what the network guide covers in detail.
The practical consequence is that a provider supporting an asset without supporting the network your customers use supports a product they will decline. Check the network list on each card in the catalogue, and read gas fee for why the difference is so large.
