not all sites use carts, and the costs of integration or creating a whole new backend to manage BTC is costly....
my point being...for the sake of creating slightly more advanced "buy now" buttons, online retailiers would be more likely to "try out" BTC....as, like a paypal button, its 5 mins to program and copy paste the code..
with the real likely hood of customers paying via bit coin....you need a very quick cost effective way to add and test it....we sell for example 1000 units a year, and I KNOW for a fact that the likely hood of any of our 300,000 a year visitor paying via bitcoin will be very very unlikely..hence, why am i going to invest time and money to accept it ? when, if the payment providers simply "bothered", I could copy/paste the bitcoin option and test it..push the options and see... etc.
the other problem, is, for BTC to become mainstream, it needs to be easier to obtain and work with.....we forget, most folks here are technically minded.....
however, 99% of online retails customers are...in a word...dumb....and most sites end up with 1000's if customer support emails over shit as simple as, how do i pay via paypal..
can you imagine these people easiliy understanding...BTC wallets, blockchains, hash etc etc.....nooooooo
