Our store https://bitpam.com/ accepts Bitcoin and we sell physical Bitcoin coins with free worldwide shipping Grin

We hope that we can spread the word about these so people can collect them and share with friends!

Code BTC4U gives 10% off, hopefully this will encourage more businesses to accept BTC if people buy things with it

Wow nice store you've got there and all costs $9.99 - ~~$19.99~~ so every coin was discounted already. I thought that it is just all about ripple because the home page of your website says all about ripple. Anyway you've got some nice and interesting stuffs there and with a free shipping worldwide.

Thanks so much!

we can't encourage them ! Just let it be !

We can actually. Well not by directly encouraging them by asking them to accept Bitcoin but they may soon accept Bitcoin if they see people going in their stores asking if they accept Bitcoin as a mode of payment. Often Business owners will see these kind of events as some kind of opportunity to increase their income and also their reputation. And I guess that is the best encouragement they would get from every customer entering their premises.

Easy to say but difficult to implement.

How many do you think wil request to that business to accept bitcoin? Will there be enough request? Remember we are talking about local business so it's only limited to a certain area. And if that is the case, it will not be prioritized but can be considered.

Just look how those global companies who received lots of request to accept bitcoin as their mode of payment still in consideration if they will accept bitcoin or not. Examples are, Amazon, Ebay etc. Just imagine how difficult it was if only on local business.

By providing data of the BTC trend from year to year. If they are doing business and understand how it is done then there will be high probability they will see the opportunity in BTC

Businessmen will not care about bitcoin if bitcoin can not provide them profit. In my country, there are not many people know about bitcoin and because of that, opening a store which accepts bitcoin is not a good idea. Paypal is even better than bitcoin in this case. It still depends on many factors if you want to encourage local businesses

In our country as well people were not much aware but now since country may legalize it then we expect many business to start accepting the payment mode in btc. Also considering the growth btc has show during this year many business will get lured considering the huge profits which be made out of it. Only thing is that they need to be made understood about its technology and its advantages .Once they know it will be easy for people to accept btc as a payment .

We can convince them by showing the data and price of bitcoin for the past few years and the latest news about it and the possible future price. But I think it would not be enough if there is a little or no demand of bitcoin. It is useless to introduce bitcoin to businesses that have little or no customers that know nothing about the existence of bitcoin. I know some stores that accept bitcoin but they are the big ones who has branches worldwide and besides, the current fee of bitcoin is high which would make the small value items expensive if bought with bitcoin compared to fiat.

I am looking to help move BTC forward into our economy more and would like to get some suggestions on how we can get more retailers to accept BTC as a payment. The best part about accepting BTC is that they do not have any threat of charge-back from the customer. I am just looking for some more input before I start approaching some of these local retailers.

We should encourage more people to Bitcoin first. In that way the demand will increase that will convince the retailers to accept BTC as a payment due to the public demand. Also, if it will be legal, surely local businesses and retailers will support it. If they will be awared of its advantages and if it will be less volatile if the demand increase, they will somehow accept Bitcoin as a payment. And that's quite near, now that there are more people that demands for Bitcoin as a mode of payment.

It depends on the govt. of that particular country. If the govt. okays it, then businessmen would start accepting BTC.

It depends on the owner of the business, its hard to convince them because the value of bitcoin is fluctuating they will prefer to used fiat which is stable value and it is available to used by all people. Bitcoin is only better for online transactions.

I think it's better to educate people around you about bitcoin and try to make them bitcoin literate instead of wasting your time and energy in trying to convince local businesses to accept bitcoin. Once people are bitcoin literate they themselves would demand the local businesses to accept bitcoin and then the local businesses will themselves be learning about it and eventually be accepting it. I think that can be much more fruitful and working method.

If truly the Bitcoin debit cards can be used anywhere, then you can also use them in stores for POS. But if you mean when local store will start accepting payments made through wallets, then it won’t be easy.
But, having lightening payment will increase the chances for them to start accepting it, though not everyone is interested in that, even I myself won’t be interested accepting Bitcoin locally.

This method or way can only be successfully implemented if the businessman will be open minded and ready to accept new things. I tried to new generation the same way, but they went very casual and just passed by what they heard. Tried to indirectly make fun.

But I was stuck to their two valid points about BTC, the fee and ofcourse the time taken to complete the transaction. The fee might not matter if the spender is earning, but the time will.

Maybe those online business man will go to accept first the BTC in there site but don't expect to much with offline businesses since some of the other guys who owns a shop doesn't even know on what is bitcoins and whats the used of it. And Unlike those online business geeks who can adopt it easily and expect that for more years to come and came up with huge price of btc I think businessmans will be convinced to try it since it could be a good expiremental payment option to them.

In my experience, if your going to go one by one and try to introduce them to BTCitcoin and explain how it works in order for them to accept payments of BTC , it would be really a lengthy process and you'll stop doing it before you start so the best suggestion I could make is either by making a mini seminar wherein you invite them altogether and talk about it and even show some of the YouTube videos that well known speakers of community are in and they cover almost everything... And in cases of online local businesses, you could try to send them a support ticket regarding the matter and I've had luck that they answered, "were already reviewing BTCitcoin payments and will consider it for the future" .

I agree it is much better to encourage and advertise Bitcoin to people in a more passive way where we just need to continue our support to Bitcoin my using it as a daily transaction for them to know and see what Bitcoin really is. In this time we don't much need to tell to them to used Bitcoin rather we just need to make an effort to let them see the possibilities and the development a head to Bitcoin.

Precisely, I think it is much better if we encourage them in passive way wherein let them to know and to explore how bitcoin work, there's no need for us to explain the finer details. We should continue on what we usually do in bitcoin like our daily transaction and let them see of what will be the the effect of it upon their business.

. i know of a toy shop locally that accepts btc

It's good to hear that they are already shops in your country that accept bitcoin as a payment. I think we should better to tell that what will happen if they started to accept bitcoin then we should probably educate them first so that they will understand it. Bitcoin are already trend all over the world maybe they are only people that not yet know it but we should better to aware them about the good things about bitcoin.

I shop in my places to buy the computer equipment to mine. But I have not done so in the past few months. It is not very profitable to mine now.
