The Benefits

Why Accepting Bitcoin Is Good For Business

No Chargebacks

A Bitcoin payment is final. Nobody reverses a sale weeks later on goods you already handed over.

Get Paid Next Business Day

Funds land in your account the next business day. Every payment guaranteed, no holds and no surprises.

Lower Fees Than Cards

Keep more of every sale compared to typical card processing fees.

Zero Volatility Risk

You price in dollars and receive full value. Bitcoin swings are our problem, not yours.

New Customers Walk In

Bitcoin holders and tourists actively seek out businesses that accept it, and they tell each other.

No Card Data To Protect

You never store a card number, so there is nothing for anyone to steal from your system.

Sell Beyond Your Street

A customer in another country can pay you directly with no wire, no bank delay, no borders.

Stand Out On Your Block

Being the business that takes Bitcoin gets you noticed while your competitors wait.
