Title: how does a company get started offering products and accepting bitcoins?
Post by: enerfood on May 09, 2011, 01:44:07 AM
I am very interested in this program.  I need someone to walk us through the process, how to sell and redeem bitcoins for USD, silver etc. We are a paypal merchant.

Help anyone?

Enerfood?  I love your green drink powder!  It would be great to order from you in BTC.  Great news!

Mtgox.com is the largest exchange.  You might go through them.

One way to do it is to buy a certain amount of bitcoins, then put them into an mtgox account, and use the price that you could sell those for to determine the price you'll accept bitcoins at. Once you get the new payment, put that into mtgox and repeat. Mybitcoin provides an API to use to call prices from mtgox and provide addresses for people to send to.

You should look in the tech support forum for doc on the API and php code to automate payement from your page.
