Title: BTC as payment option in a shop
Post by: nookiegirl on January 11, 2014, 06:49:34 PM
Hi there,

A friend of mine owns a little cafe and she was thinking about adding bitcoin as a payment method.
I already showed her how she could with the use of the blockchain app (phone/tablet) offer payment.

This however is still not in her intention, as she will still need to convert the money to fiat and actually does not want to bother with this everytime somebody pays with BTC.

Is there an even easier method for people with little shops to offer bitcoin payment and do not have to bother with trading it into fiat online?

she could use Bitpay as it can convert to fiat automatically.

Everyone seems to go through bitpay if they want to convert to fiat.

You should also tell your friend to get a "Bitcoin Accepted here" sticker for her shop.
