There’s a lot of talk about “Bitcoin”, “cryptocurrency”, “mining” and many other buzz-words that can leave you wondering…. is this something I need to look into?
As a business, there’s also the fear of losing out. Being left behind while your competition attracts more customers with different payment methods.
The facts are that adding cryptocurrency and digital currencies (such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin or Stellar) as a payment method could rapidly increase incoming transactions, help with chargebacks and provide a convenient payment option for your customers.
Cryptocurrency (often shortened to “crypto”) was created as a way for people to engage in transactions without relying on banks or governments. Even as new currencies have emerged over the years, digital currency still allows the freedom to conduct transactions with anyone, anywhere around the world, with little to no restrictions.
Additionally, a recent study from 2020 found that up to 40% of customers who pay with cryptocurrency are new clientele to business owners, and their purchase amounts are twice of those of credit card users.
