[ANN] Bit-Pay is now officially BitPay.com - New website, new features

[BitPay Business Solutions]

BitPay, Inc. is proud to release our new website, with some nice new features

https://bitpay.com

We have redesigned every page on our site, including our entire checkout process, to make it better, faster, and easier to use.  The complete site is scaled and responsive to desktop, tablets, and mobile phone displays.  All orders will be handled through the new site, and old links will redirect to the new site.

Some of the changes include:


Merchant Support
We have a Toll-Free support number 1-855-4BITPAY that businesses can call if they need help

Bitcoin Miner Program
This is a new service to allow bitcoin miners to receive direct deposits into their bank accounts.

Certified Integrator Program
Merchants around the world now have access to unprecedented technical assistance with BitPay integration. Contact us if you are interested joining this program.
https://bitpay.com/bitcoin-integration-partners

API
We have added API keys for authentication, replacing the SSL certificate method.  Legacy users will not be affected, but new users will find this much easier to setup.

Full Bitcoin URI support
BitPay invoices now support the bitcoin: URI protocol on computer and mobile, and we have tested these wallets to be compatible:

Checkout Process
We have a new streamlined invoice and payment process
Check it out by visiting any of our Featured merchants
https://bitpay.com/featured-merchants

Mobile Checkout
This is now available for iPad and Desktop checkouts.
This has also been enhanced to only require ONE phone.  We will be demonstrating this over the weekend at http://paulfestival.org and will produce a new video demo.

We have some very exciting features and announcements coming in September.   Check out the new site, buy something on it, and let us know what you think!

Also, just a formal matter, we have changed our incorporation from Bit-Pay LLC to BitPay, Inc.  We are now a full Delaware Corporation.

Nice

Bad. Ass.

Miner payouts is an awesome feature. EDIT: But the signup page seems to be for merchants, not end-users as expected.

[URSAY]

I couldn't find any info about fees for merchants so I didn't sign up.  Have a URL link?  Thanks!

[bittenbob]

I believe its 1% if you want BTC and 3-4% if you want fiat deposited into your bank account.

click on the "Pricing" or the "Direct Deposit" buttons inside the site.  

Here's the direct link

That link keeps timing out on me.

I think the main large image slider needs some work. I figured out that I had to drag it accidently, also there isn't any information anywhere mentioning this.

EDIT: Just figured out there is a previous and next feature. Maybe they need to be more prominent. Or make it auto flip from slide to slide.

yeah its designed for a "swipe" action on a touch device.  we may write a script for it to autoscroll, but we have other priorities right now on the core technology inside.

You just efficiently blow me out of the market with this one.  

But seriously, great work.
