Set up a bitpay.com account and put $10, $20 and $100 items as payments to the business. Customer pays in BTC and gets an invoice with the payment. They take that in with ID to redeem in merchandise. The business does need to log into bitpay or check email to make sure invoice is real.

That's interesting, hadnt heard of that before. Seems maybe a little less than ideal if they're trying to estimate the cost ahead of time but I guess it's no different than paying in cash, just give them change.
Thanks for that, like i said we're signed up with bitpay so ill check it out.

Bitpay offers tools to do a proper invoice on the spot but you need to wait for it to clear and for the customer to figure out how to pay bitcoin mobile. Doing it in advance just seems easier.

Coinbase's ACH transaction to my account was delayed by something like two days. I got bored and went with Bitfloor. Sign-up was quick, the transaction was as easy as driving to my local Bank of America branch, making a deposit, and driving home.

Thank you, I just went and signed up with bitfloor. Seems pretty straightforward, we'll see I guess.

Small business owner here (brick&mortar) looking for the best website to direct our existing customers who want to start using bitcoins with us to.

We currently have a "We accept Bitcoin at 120%" button on our website that links to coinbase.com because their homepage and setup seems to have the best explanation and usability for new bitcoiners, just wondering if anyone had suggestions for a better page?

I like mtgox.com/signup as a second choice but it seems like coinbase's method of debiting checking accounts will be simpler for newbies.

I also like weusecoins.com but I almost think it has too much info for brand new users.

We are signed up with bitpay but I don't see a great landing page for new bitcoin customers?

Open to pretty much anything...

We're also planning on putting the web address of either coinbase.com or whoever at the bottom of our next round of statements, so hopefully that'll generate more interest, too.
