Title: Anyone Here Set Up a BTC based Store?
Post by: Grimwald on January 01, 2014, 11:01:49 PM
I was wondering if anyone here has set up a Bitcoin based online store to sell their own products or services?

If so could you point me to a couple of the resources you found most helpful for set up of your site.

Thank You

Grimwald

I have an online site that is focused on Tanzanite gemstones TanzaniteAmerica.com (http://TanzaniteAmerica.com). I do not have a shopping cart because I find I comunicate with every potential Tanzanite purchaser. Payment arrangements are made via email or phone calls. A few months ago I decided to accept bitcoin. The single most important thing for me was to find the code needed to convert the set price in USD to bitcoin at the time someone visits the site.

I believe Coinbase.com has utilities/code to do that. I wrote all the code for my site. If you would like my bitcoin conversion code send me a message and I'll send it to you. Not knowing what you have in mind my code may not be usefull to you.

Have you received any payment in Bitcoin yet??
I was wondering how long it took to clear if you have.
Some people have been saying there are some serious delays from many of the services that process.

Look into the Opencart shopping cart.

http://www.opencart.com/

It is open source and it has a free bitcoin plugin.

if your site/service couldnt make money with fiat transactions then using bitcoin as a gimmick wont help.
