Well this is quite exciting (I think so anyway!)
I have been accepting Bitcoin as a payment at my feast with henry herbert supper clubs for a year now.
This has been a great move for me as it has widened my reach to new customers, which is always a challenge for any small and young business.
Taking payments in Bitcoin in person is super easy and there are some great solutions available. I use MUSQET (nprofile…2vcl) as they integrate bitcoin and card payments all on one device, so its super easy for the customer to chose their preferred payment and my serving staff don't need to worry about getting a different device out etc. It just works.
The problem I had is I couldn't work out how to accept Bitcoin payments on my website. I have built my website using Wix, this works well but I wasn't able to add Bitcoin payments easily. The options were re-build my website on WordPress (but I have just done this one and I don't have loads of time to rebuild a new website), so my solution has been a bit clunky with a bitcoin discount code etc that means anyone looking to pay in the future of money couldn't actually pay. This not only is not a great sign for new comers but also means I cant take a deposit which puts my small business at risk from cash flow and customers able to not turn up with no kick back. Well that was until now.....
I have just incorporated Swiss Bitcoin Pay my Wix website and you can now pay on-chain or lightning Bitcoin (see video)
This really is a game changer for me and again strengthens my belief that Bitcoin is working and is here to stay.
Also, when you pay in bitcoin I get the money at the speed of light, with 0.21% fee. I can then chose to hold this in Bitcoin or flip to £'s depending on my cash flow. As a small business I can only dream of getting paid that quick and at such low rates. The banks cant compete with this better technology (they will probably have to join or they will be left in the dust)
Any way, this got me excited and I thought I would share. https://blossom.primal.net/c33ce293db3a4c47d1f733cc8e86bfdea9e57
