We are excited to introduce you to Spending-Bitcoin.com (https://spending-bitcoin.com/), the biggest directory of online stores accepting Bitcoin! We currently have listed 1,012 online stores.

What is Spending-Bitcoin.com?

We are aiming to be the largest, and most up-to-date, directory of online stores accepting Bitcoin. Most of the websites we could find are either very outdated or they are missing a lot of websites, which is why we decided to build this directory. We are offering:

  • Lightning Network support
  • No advertisments
  • No referral/affiliate links
  • No storage of user data
  • No shitcoins

What's in it for us?

Nothing! We've built this website out of love for Bitcoin and to help spread adoption. We have no plans to monetize our website by placing advertisements or selling user data (we're looking at you mr. Zuckerberg!). In fact, we've built a custom analytics system that allows us to track user behaviour on our website without storing any of the user's data.

How can you add a website?

Anyone can submit new websites. All you need to do is enter a valid URL (no referral links!) and hit the 'submit' button. Our website automatically generates a website title, description, avatar and banner for you, making the submission process as simple as possible!

What if a website stops accepting Bitcoin or shuts down?

If you run into a website that stopped working, isn't accepting Bitcoin anymore, turns out to be a scam, or any other reason, all you need to do is hit the 'report' button. Enter the reason why you are reporting a website and hit the 'submit report button'.

Seems like an interesting site, I would recommend that you add a picture to each of the companies/products. It doesn't look nice when you see projects/companies without pictures. Also, there are some minor grammar issues. (Some words should be capitalized etc)

Congrats on your website :D

Thanks!

Thank you for the feedback! Our website generates the title, description, logo and banner automatically. It pulls all information from the website itself. If a website is poorly built (not meaning to insult anyone) we can't automatically generate the above. We are adding the logos etc. manually but that is a slow and time consuming process. Some websites don't have a logo so we'll have to use a placeholder. Same for the grammar issue, the text is all pulled from the websites. We'll try to fix everything we run into!

I just saw your website and was really excited to find many online stores under one roof.  Suberb.

Can you tell me if the listing on your site is free and also do you check if the sites listing on Spending-bitcoin are trusted ones only ?

Thanks for the compliment! Listing websites on our website is absolutely free. Anyone can submit new websites at the bottom of the page. All we do is check to see if the submission meets our requirements (no referral link, no obvious scams etc).

You should actively promote this directory, this is a good resource for those who wants to use their Bitcoin, I like it when it's easy for website owners and online store owners to submit their site, I hope you will not offer a premium listing, so all shops will have an equal promotion, we need more directory like this that promote merchants that uses Bitcoin maybe other coins can follow too.

Are you going to start removing links that turn out to be for scam sites?

Seems like there isn't any moderations practices in place really, anybody can submit a link and have it featured on the site.

Maybe there should be some sort of community moderation feature?

You can report it if you do find a link which is suspicious and a possible scam.Theres a report button as mentioned earlier.

I do hope im not too late for that Ledger nano s giveaway.  ;D

In fact, we've built a custom analytics system that allows us to track user behaviour on our website without storing any of the user's data.

I recently designed the same thing for BPIP.  My system forgets every IP after 24 hours, then it is considered a new visitor.  I would be interested in knowing what you are doing.  :)

Interesting website with all the needed stuff to help us get complete information on how and where to spend BTC. Can you do an extra part on my request? As I'm from India, I don't really see any stores or places accepting BTC nearby me or maybe I'm not aware of it. Just to solve this, is it possible for you to classify these websites into which website serves where?

And about the Ledger Nano S Contest,

I hope the best participant wins, good luck all :)

Thanks for the suggestion, most of the websites ship worldwide so it's shouldn't be a big issue. We'll look into it to see if we can add it without messing up the UI.

I browsed the website on both my mobile phone and PC and I'm going to say that it has a nice and friendly view for both.
I made some submissions too and I hope to see them among the list soon.


Thanks for making submission! We've only had to decline a few entries (like news websites) because they weren't accepting Bitcoin payments. We're still working on making the website even more mobile-friendly.

I like your site so much that i browsed it all day long.
I have also wear your Site URL as a personal text and signature so i could spread it as much as i can , voluntarily.

We're glad you like it! Thank you so much for the support.

Thanks, we're doing the best we can. We have a few plans in store to gain more attention. There will be no premium listings or any other form of paid content. Anyone can add their own website, as long as they accept BTC/Lightning payments.

Each page has a report button in case a website stops working, stops accepting Bitcoin, turns out to be a scam or any other reason. We will receive a notification of each report so we'll try to act on it as fast as we can.

As we stated before, most of the websites are shipping worldwide so it shouldn't be an issue where they are located. We're looking into the possibilities of adding such a feature.

Getting bigger by the day.  ;D Well done guys !



Thanks! We'll continue to develop the website and add more features ;D. Luckily we've received quite a few submissions already and the traffic stats are exceeding our expectations!

Sure, but costs can sometimes be prohibitive. International shipping, plus any taxes that the receiver might have to pay, can sometimes run in to hundreds of dollars worth, which makes it completely non-viable for most online commerce.

Each page has a report button in case a website stops working, stops accepting Bitcoin, turns out to be a scam or any other reason. We will receive a notification of each report so we'll try to act on it as fast as we can.
This is great, but before I spend bitcoin on any new site I'm always going to check out any online reviews I can find. Perhaps adding links for each store (where they exist) to relevant review sites such as Yelp, Trustpilot, etc. would be nice.

We have no plans to monetize our website by placing advertisements or selling user data (we're looking at you mr. Zuckerberg!)
You've made a great site, and I've already found a couple of new stores I might spend some bitcoin at in the future. I really hope you stay active long term; however, many similar sites that have come before you have eventually withered out and died. How are you going to continue to fund you servers and bandwidth requirements, particularly if, as you say, traffic is starting to exceed expectations? Donations?

We are already working on a rating system for Spending-Bitcoin.com (https://spending-bitcoin.com) users. Most websites are showing their reviews on their frontpage so we prefer not to add more links to our pages, since we want to keep it as clean and simple as possible.

We plan on accepting donations in the future. We chose not to accept donations from the start, since we do not want to give the impression that we are doing this for the money. We love Bitcoin so we plan on stay active for years :).

Definitely need a new listing site. Great to see this effort. Almost everything I try to use as you say is outdated, my suggestion also is to use a geographic categorisation (by country maybe, or by where they ship to). I got a whole lot of sites from my country that mostly, when I visited, actually either no longer accept BTC or the people who run the shop don't know how to operate it.

One more thing: might be a good idea to list the payment processor. As in, Antonoupoulos using BTCPay Server and thuisbezorg using BitPay.

Another thing, I think the effort needs to be spread out, or somehow linked to Google or some other big service like that because the moment you stop updating, you get yet another site that becomes old and outdated.

I would also like to see where each site is located because some things just aren't worth buying because of the pretty expensive shipping, customs, and VAT costs. In some cases, goods purchased in the US and shipped to the EU are more expensive then if we buy the same thing in EU.

As for the site itself, I can say that it is a really great project, and as far as I can see the number of links is constantly increasing. I will definitely do my best to check some categories and maybe submit some new links.

At first glance I notice that in the category "Hosting" is not listed https://www.steadyturtle.com/ which is a very well known hosting company on this forum for years. Of course, they accept Bitcoin as a means of payment.

Considering all the feedback regarding the countries we will add that information to the sidebars. It will be a lot of work to enter the countries since they'll have to be checked manually so please allow us some time to check all 700+ pages ;D.

We have tried to list the payment processors but in reality over 90% of the websites don't display their payment processor anywhere. We'd have to walk through the entire purchase process in order to find out, which is way too time consuming. Only showing the payment processor on a few websites would look messy.

What exactly do you mean by 'linked to Google'?

Secondly do you have your presence on Facebook page and twitter ? Do let us know so we can follow you on social media too.

We are active on twitter: https://twitter.com/SpendingBitcoin. We're currently doing a Ledger Nano S: Whitepaper Limited Edition giveaway on Twitter (see our second post in this topic).

There is no budget for marketing (yet) since we are funding everything ourselves and we do not intend to monetize the website. We will start accepting donations in the (near) future.

Although it’s a huge feat, You don’t necessarily have to remind viewers the fact that it’s a self funded project. Posting a bitcoin wallet to receive donations would be a good idea. Probably on your signature box here, your website and your other social media accounts that permits donations.

Btw, since this is one of the few websites that allow for peer-to-per listing and review of websites that accept bitcoin, I’ll suggest you make use of SEO for google search. People new to bitcoin needs to see spending-bitcoin. One popular questions asked about bitcoin is ‘Where can I spend my bitcoins’.

We value our users' privacy, which is why we're not simply posting a donation address. We'll set up a BTCpay donation plugin soon, which will allow us to use an xpub (and Lightning tips).

Regarding SEO, that's on our to-do list. We're also creating a pull request soon in the bitcoin.org Github repo, requesting them to add a link to spending-bitcoin.com on bitcoin.org.

I don't think they will have Android app of the site now cause the project was just created a couple of weeks base on the site domain age.

Something like https://coinmap.org/
Sometimes you want to order stuff online, sometimes you want to pick it up locally.

Would be nice to have them combined.

Yeah, I know it's a major project update to do it.
Can't hurt to ask.

I do see bitcoin more as an online currency than a currency I would like to spend in stores locally. Just a few stores do accept bitcoin and you’ll more likely know that they do accept bitcoin except in cases when you’re new in the place. I’m just saying I prefer fiat for offline transactions and bitcoin for online payments. But like you said it doesn’t hurt to ask If spending-bitcoins would want to add local stores that accept bitcoins.
Also, adding local stores means spending-bitcoin would have to
-tag locations to each Store listed
- and ask every visitor to allow access to their current location (privacy breach) if they want to find out store around that accept bitcoin.

Btw, if in a few years more stores begin to accept bitcoin, it would be great to spend it locally, right now few people know about it here.

We are considering to add physical stores once we are finished developing the current website. We have already been approached by several parties to help supply data :).

We are working on the locations as we speak. Regarding access to current locations, we're not going to add that. We don't store or access any userdata and we want to keep it that way.

The promotion of online store development is quite good, is this site able to penetrate various businesses, and how much do we have to pay to join and partner with your website? I think you need to accept other altcoins to make payment transactions such as eth and dogecoin.

I have to admit that I didn't notice at all that it was possible to submit a new link, which is certainly a great option for anyone who wants to contribute to making the site even better with more links. I will definitely add more sites that have the option of paying with Bitcoin, and are not currently listed.

It's commendable to see someone do something for the community and pay it out of their own pocket. I hope you find some source of funding, and I think donations are a good start :)

@OP yeah, now that you mentioned it, it's going to be a heavy manual task to add categorisation, but perhaps find a way to let users add that kind of information.

Sorry, when I said "like Google" I meant like Google map. If you login to google map and allow notification for help settings, you'll get prompted questions about a place you're visiting, like

1. Does this place accept credit cards?
2. Is it handicap friendly, etc.

So for your site, if you could find a way to make it like google map, so users visiting can help update the page like:
- does this place use BitPay?
- does it ship to EU?

I know it's a thankless job but that's the problem I want to try help your site to avoid... because all the listing sites I see started out well until the burden of updating became too much.

spending-bitcoin.com (https://spending-bitcoin.com/)

https://twitter.com/SpendingBitcoin
I have not seen a website like this.
This site owns and sells online stores for a fee in Bitcoin, very interesting.

I have a little question.
1. Can you specify the countries that can be shipped goods purchased.
2. What are the shipping costs to be paid by each country, pay with Bitcoin or cash or be included in the package price of goods purchased.
3. goods that have been purchased, how to send it.

I follow, Twitter spending-bitcoin, for more information and to find out what products are sold.

Great website, I adding some web like https://www.abuseipdb.com/ and not more time to appear on the search box.
I don't know why bitcointalk hasn't appeared, are people isn't submit it on your site?

I did submit bitcointalk last hours ago, now appear on site.
https://spending-bitcoin.com/entry/bitcoin-forum-index

Thanks for the submissions. We've added AbuseIPDB to the 'Charity' category since they are a free service and are accepting donations. Bitcointalk isn't really the type of website that belongs in our database, which is why that submission got declined. We're mostly looking for online stores and services.

Thanks for the suggestion. Adding information like the type of payment processor and where they ship is way too time consuming for us to add. A lot of website don't specify that information until you walk through the entire payment process.

1. We're in the middle of adding where each online store is shipping from :).
2. There is no way for us to tell what the shipping costs are. That all depends on the price of your product(s), the type of shipping you prefer and where they have to send it.
3. Could you specify what you mean by that?

That is, every item that has been purchased, your party sends it using what services, post office, tiky, plane, or something rented.

However, I will try to transact and choose my favorite items, hopefully this can be the first step to doing business, where there are my friends, maybe who are interested in buying goods on the online store site, which you are developing right now.
I hope this will become one of the leading sites in the world in the future.

I browsed your website and everything is OK except for some store listed without images. I think you should work on that. And also make the description 150 characters long for those submitting new store. I saw a store with a short description.
Great idea BTW. I have your URL as my personal text and also my profile website :)

I can see most of the store owners have a logo besides their name and that is enough. If anyone wana see more details then he should visit the site.

I don't think we have any other database which contains all the bitcoin related site links. This can well become the biggest database for the bitcoin related sites.

I am sure your site must be famous as the site below.

Nice to see another initiative to collect services accepting Bitcoin.
I have a couple of suggestions. Your form for adding new website is only to add a website URL. And then we have the most ordinary sentence like "xxx - is the best crypto automated trading tool currently available ...". I do not believe this, is this description added by the administrator or from someone who submits URL? I opened few listings and most of them are best, leader, easiest etc... You need to ask for more details about service before adding them to your directory (it would mean for SEO). Contact information, social media links ... they are also desirable.

I love that it is straight to point with no cluttered design and its also fast! Even with my slow internet i was able to browse through quickly.  ;D
However, I agree with the user above me, you might want consider adding few option for filling in additional details. So that users can know more about the company. I know you want to keep the site clean but few details will make things easier for the viewer.
Nevertheless, I love what I saw. Already bookmarked for future usage.

We want to keep the onboarding as simple as possible, which is why the description is pulled from the website's data (it is the same description that shows up when you Google it). We want to automate the process as much as we can. People can still change it themselves or the website's owner can contact us if he wants to have it edited afterwards.

We have considered adding more information (like examplens mentioned) but that would mean more work for the visitors that visit Spending-Bitcoin.com (https://spending-bitcoin.com). We don't want to scare anyone off by confronting them with a long list of questions like social media accounts, contact information etc. That kind of data can't be automated. If visitors want to know more about the website they can usually find it on their homepage.

I noticed that every new page added is sorted as the last in its own category, but that almost every category does begin with the letter A. I'm not sure if the pages should be alphabetically sorted within each category, or whether the criterion is actually in the order that each page is added.

I have another question about duplicate links, I have seen at least one example of where this happened(reported). I know that adding each site is manually checked, but it might be a good idea to have an automatic link checker to save time for you and to those who submit links. That's just one idea, hopefully technically applicable to existing code ;)

I have accessed your website, and I am interested in one of the items sold at the store, however:

1. If I want to make a purchase at one of the stores on your website, will there be a guarantee if the items we receive are in accordance with the request?

2. In this case you as the parent of these online stores will you provide a guarantee for the success of transactions that occur between stores and consumers, don't consumers need to get full trust about it from website?

3. Are there restrictions on consumers from countries that have not yet fully regulated cryptocurrency in their countries?

Thank you, good luck with your site....!

I know you care a lot about transaction security. Let me answer a little of your questions, the website under discussion is an online shop where there are quite a number of products from various categories.
Websites like this of course also function as escrow for all buyers and sellers so they will feel safe to make transactions. If the site doesnt work like this, then i am not sure about its reputation.
I am not one of them, but usually online stores are a safe place to buy and sell and make transactions safely.

User reviews will be very useful for others. We might find out in the near future.

1&2 are same questions and I will answer them for you.
You see, https://spending-bitcoin.com/ is just like an explorer or search engine for online stores that accepts bitcoin as payment method. All you have to do is search for the category of the product you want and explore the bitcoin stores listed under it.

I think adding ratings & reviews to each store should be OK.

And I would also like to ask one more thing here, as things will come to us through international shipping, won't they be stuck in customs or anything like that? Is there such information given on your or the vendor's website whether they want us to deal with it or they will be sending it in a way that that thing does not get caught in the middle by custom officers?

Stedsm, there has already been a discussion about shipping and customs/tax, and suggestions for mark each page by country of origin. If you are in Europe and you order something from the USA, depending on the law in your country you will pay VAT and customs costs. In some cases, such a product has an even higher-end price than in your local market.

For now, it's best to check individually any page you want to buy from and ask their support where their warehouse is located.

It's amazing how fast the number of links is growing, which just means there are a lot of places where Bitcoin can be spent, despite what many think that Bitcoin is just a store of value and not a currency. I can confirm that site loading is very fast, and that I like share option, but that I would also like to see more share buttons, maybe for Facebook, Viber, WhatsApp, and other popular apps.

I believe this is the largest collection of links to sites offering Bitcoin as a means of payment, and I'm sure that number will only increase - keep up the good work ;)

You're right, I didn't check what the page looks like in the mobile version, and by clicking on share button in fact, all possible sharing options are opening up on my smartphone (android).

Regarding SEO, I was just wondering how your site stands on this so I try to search on Google with some basic keywords (spend bitcoin, where to spend bitcoin), and what can be seen is that there is competition, and your site is not showing on the first page. But we all know that SEO is not something which can be done overnight and that these results will come with time.

What do you think about creating a banner/s? Many people would probably promote your site for free.

Regarding the banners, we're happy to create customs banner should anyone offer to place one on their website. So I guess this is an invitation for anyone to contact us if they feel like supporting our website :).

'No storage of user data
No shitcoins'

Should now become a mantra. But I've gotta feeling it's not


Yeah it should ;D. To be clear: some of the websites that are listed do accept shitcoins, we just don't mention them.

We currently have 951 stores listed. We will do another cool giveaway once we reach 1,000 stores!

Regarding the banners, we're happy to create customs banner should anyone offer to place one on their website. So I guess this is an invitation for anyone to contact us if they feel like supporting our website :).

Congratulations on your new achievements (walletofsatoshi), people will spend coins only if they have information about sites/stores who accept BTC. And as for the banners, I can offer you (for free) one spot on my little site in size 468x60. It's not something that will increase your traffic significantly, but it can be helpful if more forum members decide to make a similar move.

Good news for the next giveaway, 1000 listed sites is very close ;)

Having 1000 bitcoins stores means bitcoin adaption is progressing good. There will be many more stores which are not listed in Spending-bitcoin.com.
I am looking forward to see what Spending-bitcoin will offer on reaching 1000 stores.

Sorry for replying this late. Thanks for the banner offer! Can you share a link to your website so we can make sure the color scheme of the banner matches your design?

SpendingBitcoin, no problem for the late reply, we're all a little busy these days ;)

The link to my page is in the profile, just click on that small icon under my avatar. I think any design can easily fit into my site, but I appreciate the sense of detail you have and a highly professional approach to your work.

Also congratulations on the first 1000 pages listed (I know it still shows 999, but it will change soon). :)

I also follow you on Twitter and I will participate in your contest, you have very nice rewards. Although one goal has been achieved, I hope the next one can be set on 1500 listed sites. I will certainly work to find more pages that are not yet listed :)
