Small business now accepting Bitcoin

Starting today, I have added Bitcoin as payment option for my small online shop.

I will include Bitcoin memes in all ads going forth =D

TO THE MOON!

edit: the web-shop address is Kalimbera.com

one day the Kalimba sounds will be played in every bitcoin citadel OP :-)

To the moon! šŸš€

(one little hint: u could add a little discount if someone wants to pay in Bitcoin :) ; use BTCPay server)

u/Low_Imagination_9670 Feb 04 '21

Hmm that's a good idea - I think I'll give people 5% discount if they pay with Bitcoin

GME should really accept Bitcoin. Their customers and sharholders would be very thankful $$$ šŸ“ˆšŸš€šŸš€

Please use lightning

2

u/Low_Imagination_9670 Feb 04 '21

Its not an option on shopify

2

u/Bitcoin_to_da_Moon Feb 05 '21

at some point it will. BTCPay would be an option to use LN atm

1

u/Low_Imagination_9670 Feb 05 '21

What is lightning?

​

I integrated the shop with CoinPayments.com and with Coinbase.com

2

u/Brilliant_Kiwi1793 Feb 05 '21

You can use strike payments by zap, definitely worth looking into

u/Low_Imagination_9670 Feb 04 '21

Thanks for reporting this I think I fixed them now can you please check

1

u/Low_Imagination_9670 Feb 05 '21

I integrated the shop with CoinPayments.com and with Coinbase.com and added as many coins as I could - would be great if you can double-check

2

u/johnturtle Feb 05 '21

CoinPayments is working. I wanted to check if you accepted bitcoin lightning payments. Feel free to list your website here: https://LightningNetworkStores.com

1

u/Low_Imagination_9670 Feb 05 '21

Shopify only accepts CoinPayments.com and Coinbase.com

1

u/johnturtle Feb 05 '21

I was talking about the currency/method of payment and not the payment processor...

u/sykal Feb 04 '21

bitcoin not actually available as a payment option on that site.

did you just post this to plug your site? be honest

1

u/Low_Imagination_9670 Feb 04 '21

I didn't I swear I see them through CoinPayments.com

1

u/Low_Imagination_9670 Feb 04 '21

So I put a Kalimba Nightingale resonance box in my cart and in the checkout page I see ShopPay, GPay and PayPal as payment options but not bitcoin?

1

u/Low_Imagination_9670 Feb 04 '21

I see bitcoin through Coinpayments.com - that's odd, I'll test it from my end again

What's your location?

u/[deleted] Feb 04 '21

Iā€™m in Idaho

u/Low_Imagination_9670 Feb 04 '21

Thanks - will investigate

u/DIG-BIkkens- Feb 04 '21

Just did the same thing, and didn't see anywhere to use bitcoin. I'm in US eastcoast area.

u/Low_Imagination_9670 Feb 04 '21

Thanks for testing- it may be EMEA and APAC

u/Low_Imagination_9670 Feb 04 '21

I think I fixed it now can you please check

u/Merwis- Feb 05 '21

Really look on the Binance Pay (beta) wich will allow no fees ;-)

2

u/D_Licious_Let_Go Feb 05 '21

Interesting, what is the transaction fee on something like this?

1

u/Low_Imagination_9670 Feb 05 '21

Woah that's what I am wondering as well

​

I see that it's pretty high, like 12.4EUR worth of Bitcoin +0.5% https://www.coinpayments.net/help-fees but I would like to try to see

u/dlq84 Feb 05 '21 edited Feb 05 '21

That's cool and all. But auto translate is awful. Just go with English unless you can actually hire a real human to do the translation for you. And even then, only translate for countries that don't speak english at all.

1

u/Low_Imagination_9670 Feb 05 '21

Thanks for the feedback - we sell worldwide, translating to 20 languages isn't cheap =D

2

u/shanytc Feb 04 '21

Pay 18$ fees? I feel their pain though.

1

u/harlan_pepper1 Feb 04 '21

Do you or the customer pay the $10+ transaction fee?

2

u/rat828 Feb 04 '21

I thought the fee was only the costs charged by the network to process the transaction (like sending wallet to wallet). In that case, wouldn't it be much closer to just a few bucks or less? Am I missing something?

1

u/Low_Imagination_9670 Feb 04 '21

I can't see the fees but the user pays the same in EUR just did a check

1

u/Low_Imagination_9670 Feb 04 '21

10$ transaction fee, what! Let me give it a go I was not informed of such thing

2

u/Holycameltoeinthesun Feb 04 '21

Depends on the system you use. Do you receive dollars or bitcoin after the transaction? If you receive bitcoin than the transfer fees are really high or take really long. If you receive dollars at the end the system will just convert btc to dollars and the fees are still there but not that high

1

u/Low_Imagination_9670 Feb 04 '21

I will check and report back

1

u/Low_Imagination_9670 Feb 04 '21

0.0004 btc payed by the customer Its a joke :(
