What was your experience accepting BTC as payments?

I'm interested in accepting Payments via Bitcoin, and I'd love to hear about any experiences the HN community has had. I know there are a lot of solutions (BitPay, Coinbase, Bips etc) - The merchants will accept and verify the transaction, and notify you - Many will also automatically convert to USD, and save to you bank acct. I'm curious if anyone in the HN community has setup any of these solutions, and what troubles/surprised have you found?
