wow nice.  Your checkout button at the top of your page doesn't work.  Just giving a heads up.

The 'See prices in Bitcoin' button doesn't seem to do anything other than bring you back to the mainpage.

Or I'm doing something wrong...

Please a briefing on how a transaction goes down in your store.  For example, I was looking at getting this for myself http://elwartowski.com/heidijosboutique/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/coffeeruffles.jpg, and I'm coming in, how should I be ready to spend with Bitcoin?   App on phone necessary?

Edit: I thought this was for in store.  Or is it?  Can it be?

You only need a Bitcoin app on your phone. Something like https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mtgoxlive.trader&hl=en

That bikini is available in the store. Just take it up to the counter and my wife will put the price into her merchant app which will convert the dollar total to current BTC price and provide an address and QR code.

You scan the QR code with your app and click "send bitcoins".

And that is it. My wife will get a confirmation within a few seconds and you are all set.

Cool.  My gf might like your store.  Looks like stuff she'd wear.  She doesn't have bitcoins though, I might have her browse and buy something with bitcoins for her in the near future.

Yes, I tried to implement that a few weeks ago but ran into some quirks with Wordpress that make it difficult to store session information. The page still needs some tweaking.

Accepting Bitcoins in person has been a whole lot easier than doing it online ironically.

People accepting Bitcoins would also be handy for the way my wife sometimes sells bikinis.

She will take some of her bikinis with her when she goes to the beach. She usually gets a few people there who want to buy but they either do not have cash or they only have a credit card. Right now she takes her laptop with a credit card reader and a mobile wifi card to run their card.

It would be so easy if both parties could just pull out their cell phones (which everyone has at the beach) and pay.

You could also market mobile changing rooms so they can change on the beach.  Kinda like that circular shower curtin Ralph Macchio wore to that party in Karate Kid one.

So, that machine on the picture doesn't have anything to do with Bitcoin, right? As far as I know, you only need a cellphone with Internet... or am I wrong?

Correct. The machine is just the cash register that is in the shop.

All that is needed for a merchant is a cell phone with Internet. Which is probably 80+% of businesses.

Can you keep us updated on how many people opt to buy with bitcoin?  How many inquire about it? etc.
