BitPay, Inc. is proud to release our new website, with some nice new features

We have redesigned every page on our site, including our entire checkout process, to make it better, faster, and easier to use.  The complete site is scaled and responsive to desktop, tablets, and mobile phone displays.  All orders will be handled through the new site, and old links will redirect to the new site.

Some of the changes include:


Merchant Support
We have a Toll-Free support number 1-855-4BITPAY that businesses can call if they need help

Bitcoin Miner Program
This is a new service to allow bitcoin miners to receive direct deposits into their bank accounts.

We have added API keys for authentication, replacing the SSL certificate method.  Legacy users will not be affected, but new users will find this much easier to setup.

Mobile Checkout
This is now available for iPad and Desktop checkouts.
This has also been enhanced to only require ONE phone.  We will be demonstrating this over the weekend at http://paulfestival.org (http://paulfestival.org) and will produce a new video demo.

We have some very exciting features and announcements coming in September.   Check out the new site, buy something on it, and let us know what you think!

Also, just a formal matter, we have changed our incorporation from Bit-Pay LLC to BitPay, Inc.  We are now a full Delaware Corporation.

Beautiful Job Tony and Stephen!

You're doing great work.

"Whiskey Dicks" -- seriously?

Heck yeah, we go there every Wednesday for good food, beer, and bitcoin meetups!

Always liked that BitPay logo.   ;)

Congrats on the new site :)

This is great! I've been waiting for this :)

Looks great guys, nice work.

Nice :)

Bad. Ass.

Miner payouts is an awesome feature. EDIT: But the signup page seems to be for merchants, not end-users as expected.

I couldn't find any info about fees for merchants so I didn't sign up.  Have a URL link?  Thanks!

I believe its 1% if you want BTC and 3-4% if you want fiat deposited into your bank account.

click on the "Pricing" or the "Direct Deposit" buttons inside the site.  

Here's the direct link

That link keeps timing out on me.   :'(

I think the main large image slider needs some work. I figured out that I had to drag it accidently, also there isn't any information anywhere mentioning this.

EDIT: Just figured out there is a previous and next feature. Maybe they need to be more prominent. Or make it auto flip from slide to slide.

yeah its designed for a "swipe" action on a touch device.  we may write a script for it to autoscroll, but we have other priorities right now on the core technology inside.

You just efficiently blow me out of the market with this one.  :P

But seriously, great work.

Iam just new to bit-pay. Is there anybody that can provide support for me with the skype messenger?

I dont have a own server i just rented some webspace. Its possible to create the SSL key and certificate with cPanel X but i cant find the SSL SHA1 Fingerprint: there?


my skype username: btcgold.org

awesome work! Bitpay ftw!

I finally decided to use the magento cart plugin, but I get a message that the api key is invalid. I know the SSL is all set up correctly.

One problem I have is that the SSL SHA1 fingerprint field is only long enough if I strip the : characters out of the signature, so I have to either remove the :s or use a truncated version of the fingerprint. Could this maybe be a bug from the new site design?

I had the same problem! The field is not long enaugh to inset the complete fingerprint

It is fixed now.

great job! Hopefully this will impress even more merchants :)

Are you still able to process payments if, for example, the mtgox website is unresponsive for an hour?

We are not dependent on Mt Gox or any one exchange.  our system can go just fine without Gox.  You would need many USD exchanges to be down at the same time for us to not be able to fetch a rate, but even then, based on the amount of the order we may just use the last rates that were available.

Do you guy's offer any sort of refferal system? ty

we have the Integrator Program as mentioned in the OP.
