One of the largest ecommerce solutions providers online, Shopify, has entered into a new partnership with GoCoin to allow its retailers the option to accept cryptocurrency.
The new partnership allows users to accept not only Bitcoin, which Coinbase and BitPay offer, but also Litecoin and Dogecoin.
“We’re always looking for new technologies that will help our merchants run their businesses and increase sales,” said Louis Kearns, Product Director at Shopify in a press release. “The partnership with GoCoin provides anyone on our platform with the option to accept multiple cryptocurrencies.”
“Thousands of cryptocurrencies have entered the market since Bitcoin’s inception, and new altcoins are launched every day,” adds Steve Beauregard, co-founder and CEO of GoCoin. “GoCoin helps online merchants avoid shopping cart abandonment by quickly and easily offering the latest digital currencies as payment options.”
Ecommerce And Cryptocurrency
Shopify is the latest, but by no means the only, ecommerce solution to embrace cryptocurrency.
German ecommerce solution provider PlentyMarkets and Swedish payment processor Klarna have both embraced Bitcoin, and eBay continuously flirts with it, though they haven’t necessarily taken the plunge yet.
Oh yeah, PayPal accepts Bitcoin too, in a deal involving GoCoin.
As it becomes easier and easier for ecommerce sites to integrate Bitcoin, and Bitcoin becomes more popular, increased merchant adoption is sure to follow.
