www.OGDOGG.com has integrated Bit-Pay buttons in the Merchandise section.  Check it out. 

Awesome!

I'm posting to say that i am like him, i prefer read things than watching a video.


Gabi we have full written documentation inside the site for approved merchants.  It's not that hard really, if you've ever made a Paypal button you can make one of ours, without needing any instructions.

I tend not to watch video.  You may find that developers tend to not watch video, we like to read.

So, less video and more WRITTEN things that explain this. No, i won't watch "episode 30", sorry.

This is just about as easy as putting a button with a form on your page. Sure you have to pay a fee. But it is worth it to save a lot of headache.

He brings up a good point that we didn't get time to explain on TV.  We basically have 2 options for paying our merchants:

1.  If you don't want anything to do with bitcoins and you want dollars sent to your bank account, like what happens with Paypal or credit cards, then bit-pay assumes the currency risk and the trading fees for the full amount of the order.  We do all of this as part of the package for the merchant that doesn't want to mess with bitcoins.  Our fees for everything in this case is 2.99%.

2.  If the merchant is fine taking bitcoins, we do offer a much lower fee for this, since we don't have any currency exchange or trading risks or costs.  If you'll take bitcoins, you can use all of bit-pay's services and the fees are 0.99%.




 Ahh, that's what I was waiting for. .....Now I can fully apologize for my criticisms of you guys. I wanted to, but had to put you up against the wall first, to get those crazy prices down for the community.
   I want to say I fully appreciate what you guys are doing, I just had a real serious problem with those prices being charged to the bitcoin community for something that does not warrant it. Good luck with your endeavor. I'll be using your services on some of my sites in the future. 1% is reasonable. Thanks!

Wow...Pretty girls and bitcoins in the same company! Tongue I thought you hired her just to shoot the video. Sorry for my post then.

It helps having access to all the STARE models if we need to hire a pretty face Smiley 

Alison also works for Fox Sports and SpikeTV (she is "Chelsea" on TNA Wrestling) so she's not full-time with us, but she does a great job with all the public relations stuff so we can work on the code.

That was during development, we can take the donate off now.

And Alison does work for us.  She will be at the Bitcoin Conference in NYC!

omg, I didn't see that. You must remove it. It doesn't put out a good image about a paid service.

I love the idea, but your website still needs a little work. I saw that you were designing a new the logo. That's good. Get an original favicon while you're at it Wink
The video is nice, but the girl is kind of... Well, she's good to look at, but usually there is just a voice over. If someone is seen, he/she should be working at the company I think...

But these are details. Good luck with your service.

I have no problem paying a fee to use a merchant service.  However, they should take the donate "begging" link off their front page before they start.

I like the idea of bit-pay and will most probably make use of it in the coming weeks but I must derail this discussion just a tiny bit.

Damn you guys picked a gorgeous girl for your advertisement, I only realised what the product was about nearly 90% into the video.

Ok back on topic Smiley

i've been promised she will be at the BitCon in NY next month!!!

Licking my boob since 1970
So why are we expected to pay these guys 2% of every transaction to use this service as a merchant?

@ Bit-Pay

Why don't you give out a list of merchants who use your service.

You could dedicate a section of your website for this, so that potential customers can easily find shops & vendors who are accepting bitcoin.


Will do.  We have had a very good response since the TV show yesterday.  As soon as a new merchant is fully up and running we will definitely announce it.  There are some pretty cool sites working on integrating it right now!

Awesome.  Free advertising.  My site will have your buttons integrated first thing tomorrow morning.

Idea, you could add a donate button along with the order buttons.

I'm gonna check it out.  Looking forward to an alternative to PayPal for my website.

Og nice beats on your site.  You produce those?

Yes.  Thanks.

I'm all set to go on your site but probably won't be able to take a hard look at integration until tomorrow.  I've tried a few other sites (mybitcoin, bitwillet, etc...) and haven't been impressed.  I'm hoping that your site is exactly what I'm looking for.   Grin
