SE3 EP17: Accepting Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Alt Coins in Online Retail w/ Mike Olthoff, Coincards.ca

On this episode of the 2X eCommerce podcast show, we are going to talking about how to accept bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in your online retail store. Mike Olthoff, CEO and Founder of Coincards.ca - a Canadian online gift card marketplace which was created solely to help clients spend their cryptocurrencies in stores which wouldn't take it directly. Coincards.ca has thousands of Canadian customers that spend bitcoin on Gift cards to help make bitcoin more usable in their day to day lives. Accepting Bitcoin is a must for any business looking to expand their customer base and take on a little bit of risk. We currently use BTCPay, an open source payment software to process all bitcoin payments to our own bitcoin wallets. There are also many alternatives available to vendors such as mainstream companies such as Bitpay and Coinbase. Accepting Crypto opens businesses to a flood of new customers and acts as a marketing tool for a new niche customer pool. There are many people who simply live off of bitcoin and these people need ways to spend their bitcoin on the things they need and want. Being an industry first to offer products for crypto gives even the smallest merchants a huge advantage.
