For businesses
Bitcoin for Your Business
Accept bitcoin at your counter or on your website, keep more of every sale, and understand what you're taking on.
Bitcoin payments can mean lower fees than cards, no chargebacks, and customers who go out of their way to find you. They also mean new decisions: which processor to use, whether to hold what you receive, how to price, and how to keep your books straight.
I help small businesses work through those decisions and then get set up properly, whether you’re adding a QR code at the counter or a checkout to your online store.
Who this is for
- Owners who’ve had customers ask “do you take bitcoin?”
- Businesses paying high card-processing fees
- Owners who already hold bitcoin personally and want their business to earn it too
Please note: this is for educational purposes only. I'm not a financial advisor and I don't know your specific needs, goals and risk tolerance, so I won't make recommendations for your financial decisions. Start with an amount you're willing to lose entirely, and combine what you learn from me with your own research to make your own decisions.
