Title: Bitcoin in a storefront Post by: AmDD on January 07, 2014, 05:32:32 PM How can Bitcoin be used in a standard, 'brick and mortar' storefront? Are there any services available for this yet, other than a laptop/smartphone with a bitcoin wallet on it?
A friend of mine who is a software developer recently mentioned to me that he would like to build a cheap point-of-sale system for local merchants in our area. A number of places here are cash only because they cant afford to process credit cards. I told him about Bitcoin but I dont know of any existing services that could be used for this. Thoughts?

Talking them into purchasing a $2,000 point of sale device is another matter. Seems like they could just sign up with a bitpay account, or various other online services where customer can scan QR code to automatically pay? These apps are for Android and other smartphones. Simple, Convenient, and Free. |
