A survey conducted by a professional consultancy to over 6000 consumers worldwide have determined that 45 percent of people want to use digital currencies in the short term. Cryptocurrencies have become an important market for most investors and people around the world.

The payment service provider BitPay charges e-merchants a 1 percent fee for each transaction. The online store worked with this payment provider because it is cheaper than building an internal cryptocurrency processor.

Steve Ashley has said that Bitpay is a leading company in the industry, and they are considered one of the largest cryptocurrency payment services in the world.

To enter this payment method with BitPay, took almost seven weeks. Ashley has commented that the process and the first results have been good and that everyone is happy and that they have obtained many clicks from clients interested in knowing more about this topic.

When customers go to make their payments, they will find the BitPay option. They must click on BitPay so the online store can redirect them to another BitPay section to complete the payment process.

To finalize the purchase, Shop.com customers must select the appropriate BitPay wallet (Blockchain Wallet, BitPay, Copay, Coinbase, Electron Cash, Electrum Wallet, etc.). After completing this process, customers will need to scan the QR code within their application, and the purchase will be completed.
