Title: Bitpay Post by: overunity on October 08, 2013, 08:58:12 AM Hello ,
I'am a Uk contractor and wanted to set up a simple bitcoin payment option . My issues Filled application got e-mail to confirm ,The "CONFIRM" button does not work . The "CONTACT" button does not work . The "support" button does not work . If I struggle to contact them during the application process I'am never likely to get the account up and running . I thought this could be a useful tool for me but like most things bitcoin wise when I attempt to apply to real life it becomes impossible to do . How did they get 1000 merchants with the current difficulties ? Anyone successfully using the service have any help or opinions ? searches on this forum result in single posts with no replies .

Coinbase seem to have a similar service, but better site. Blockchain.info has a good api to take payments. I used them instead. Title: Re: Bitpay Post by: js1985 on October 08, 2013, 11:22:59 AM Use the blockchain.info api, bitpay are useless and their exchange rate gets pulled out of their rear, always 10% than bitstamp, this really pisses me off on sites that use bitpay such as gyft
i mean seriously who uses mtgox rate anymore that they become useless? i told them to close my merchant account with them,i dont see why should pay even 1% for a bad service Title: Re: Bitpay Post by: overunity on October 08, 2013, 03:36:00 PM I signed up to have a look at their solution, but didnt work for my requirements.

I looked at coinbase but it is USA only . Will see if blockchain is any use thank you . Any other payment services that uk tradesmen can use with escrow available ?

My customers are private individuals that have no clue what bitcoin is ,I want to present the payment option in as simple a form as possible . So I do not want to scare them off .

So I do not want to scare them off . BIPS works well. I found it to be a pretty well engineered payment gateway and their support fairly responsive...recommended.
