Title: Hello/Advice Post by: am on March 14, 2014, 08:45:33 AM Hello,
New to Bitcoin and the forums here - looking forward to discussing Bitcoin. I'm looking for advice; should I make Bitcoin the default payment for my new marketplace app? The idea is to allow folks to sell anything and right now I've not implemented any payment gateway. I've used Paypal and I'm aware of Stripe/other new entrants but I'm keen to go with Bitcoin. Thanks. Title: Re: Hello/Advice Post by: mprep on March 14, 2014, 12:56:26 PM Welcome. Not sure about default, more like one of the payment methods.
Title: Re: Hello/Advice Post by: am on March 14, 2014, 05:25:26 PM Quote Welcome. Not sure about default, more like one of the payment methods. Yeah, I was thinking the same. I think when Coinbase and other wallets become more accepted and grow in terms of user base it would be a good time to add the functionality. Title: Re: Hello/Advice Post by: MonkeyDOH on March 14, 2014, 10:34:10 PM yes you should make Bitcoin the default payment for your marketplace app

Title: Re: Hello/Advice Post by: E.exchanger on March 14, 2014, 10:41:15 PM Yeah of course you should do that!!! but thinking from business point of view i would sugget do not get centralized on one payment method for instance if you only want to go for crypto currencies then along with btc also have ltc and altcoin as an alternate payment method and if you want to focus on btc only then do accept credit cards or maybe Paypal as an alternative as this will open you to more potential customers !! good luck
Title: Re: Hello/Advice Post by: am on March 17, 2014, 08:02:31 AM Thanks for the advice guys.
I'm think as I want to get v1 of the app out, I'll launch without a payment option but I'll definitely add options in subsequent releases. Hopefully we get more awareness of Bitcoin and acceptance which should make it the most popular way to pay. Title: Re: Hello/Advice Post by: marcovaldo on March 17, 2014, 09:28:30 PM If you make it the default way of payment, you might loose a lot of customer that find it difficult to understand or shady
Title: Re: Hello/Advice Post by: rmines on March 17, 2014, 09:30:45 PM Don't make it the default payment type, most people don't use/know btc yet and you will lose a lot of customers.
Just add it among others like PayPal. Title: Re: Hello/Advice Post by: jbrnt on March 17, 2014, 10:45:21 PM I would add as many payment channels as feasible, not only bitcoin. There are many people out there not knowing how to buy or send bitcoins.
Title: Re: Hello/Advice Post by: Tammy Chan on March 18, 2014, 02:37:57 AM IMO it would be a good idea to set bitcoin as the default option. :)

If you want to see your sales explode through the roof, add coinpayments.net and start accepting altcoins. Title: Re: Hello/Advice Post by: Yuki1988 on March 19, 2014, 02:31:06 PM You should definitely add bitcoin as a payment option, but I am not sure if it should be set as the default payment option to be honest.

Just add it among others like PayPal. Right, I am as many others before I joined btc communtity would refuse from your app ! That's always better to have variety of payment types Title: Re: Hello/Advice Post by: R0yalAir on March 19, 2014, 04:47:42 PM It's better to support Bitcoin that is something decentralized and therefore worth it.
Title: Re: Hello/Advice Post by: roslinpl on March 19, 2014, 06:38:22 PM Yes indeed support for bitcoin is good for all of us!
Imagine if there is no bitcoin ... Sad - isn't? |
