Why should I accept Bitcoin on my Shopify store?
  • Low Fees: BTCPeasy does not charge any payment processing fees. Unlike most traditional payment methods, that take 2-3% on average. The only cost is Bitcoin network fees (for on-chain payments). If you enable Lightning payments (which is very easy using our Boltz plugin), fees are only a couple of cents per payment.
  • Prevent chargeback fraud. Instant Bitcoin transactions eliminate chargeback fraud from your business. Businesses on average lose 0.47% of their total revenue per year to chargeback fraud. Bitcoin payments are final.
  • Bitcoin is a global currency. No other currency works the way Bitcoin does. Expand your business into any country when you accept Bitcoin at your store.
  • Convert your Bitcoin in fiatWith the B2P Central plugin on BTCPeasy, you can easily convert your BTC into your preferred fiat currency.
  • Show your business is tech-focused. Bitcoin is a great way to show your customers and prospects that your business is forward looking.
  • Attract new customers. Diversify your audience by attracting Bitcoin users as customers.
