Amagi Metals Partners with GoCoin to Process Altcoins at CheckoutNow accepting Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Dogecoin paymentsDenver, CO - 12/18/2014 - Global eCommerce precious metals dealer Amagi Metals today announced a partnership with GoCoin allowing customers to safely and efficiently trade Bitcoin, Litecoin and Dogecoin for gold and silver. GoCoin is the first payment solution designed to process bitcoin and emerging altcoins at checkout.
While Bitcoin continues to be the driving force in digital currencies, Litecoin, Dogecoin, and hundreds of other altcoins are still captivating the cryptocurrency community worldwide. While some exist as pure competition to Bitcoin, many altcoins are designed with niche ideas in mind: crowdfunding, charities, or themed coins that offer a great deal of perks to users.
“We’d been waiting for a payment processor that could see the larger picture beyond bitcoin payments alone,” said Stephen Macaskill, CEO of Amagi Metals. “The GoCoin platform is uniquely designed to accommodate emerging cryptocurrencies, which was a critical factor in our decision.”
GoCoin’s interface is compatible and easy to integrate with some of the top shopping carts and client libraries like Magento, ZenCart, and WooCommerce. The payment processor is also expecting to expand its list of accepted altcoins in the new year.
“Stephen has already put a stake in the ground for bitcoin by announcing Amagi Metals would stop accepting US dollars as a payment method by 2016,” said Steve Beauregard, co-founder and CEO of GoCoin. “He’s a visionary in his own right and as such, recognizes the vast opportunity that lies in embracing the larger ecosystem of cryptocurrencies.”
The financial benefits for retailers using cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Litecoin are no longer a secret. Major companies like Overstock.com, Expedia, New Egg, and now Amagi Metals have paved the way for easier and safer transactions, international business opportunities, and savings for both the consumer and business owner.
When making a purchase from Amagi Metals, users can select GoCoin during the checkout process. This will redirect the user to the GoCoin payment page, which intuitively lays out the options and conversion rates for each digital currency. [insert image of checkout page]
