Man this is really cool and I wish that I had a lot more merit so that I could give you some (anyone with some merit, this is the exact type of thread that really deserves it, please consider doing so).
This is the exact type of thing that is going to help bitcoin and to help bitcoins ecosystem grow. Plus as you said most people don't know what it is or how it works, this gives you a perfect opportunity to be able to educate others. Bravo well done!

Truthfully only three of my customers are willing to pay me in Bitcoin for now and that's because I was even the one that teach them about Bitcoin since last year 2021 and now they are also investors too. I believe that as time goes on many will develop an interest as well.
That is good, as you started accepting bitcoin payments just now. It could be worse, as there are places where nobody has adopted bitcoin yet, besides the business owner who accepts it as payment. 
Step by step these three customers will promote your shop and bitcoin at same time. This way, more and more customers will get aware about bitcoin payment method and some of them will give it a try too. If your business gets popular, I believe bitcoin will get popular as well in your area. Just as others have said, make the "bitcoin accepted here" announcement more visible, put it outside your shop, so everyone passing through the street will see it. And who knows, maybe doing some special promotions for bitcoin payments too? So you encourage people using btc as currency.
Congratulations mate. I mean it’s really great to see that something that you have dreamt of have finally turned into reality. My only concern is that why did you started accepting the payments so late? I mean you didn’t know at first how to do it ? Or what was the actual resistance for this? Moreover it will be better that you make an announcement everywhere where you have the reach to your business. At last keep all the balances safe in a hardware wallet and watch out from the tax officers.
Just an advice for you, make sure to make a public notice that could serve as a sign post or billboard to brand your fashion design with the acceptance of bitcoin for payment and also make like little palmflet showing the details and procedures to how one can make the payment with bitcoin and I don't know if you have also included the lightening network payment mode inclusive or better still to consider such in due time, this will also move your business forward and make payment for your services at more convenient with customers ready to pay in bitcoin.
Actually, it will also give her some promotions by the others because the good thing about accepting bitcoins in their place is to have a group with each other that are also bitcoin enthusiasts and also accepting bitcoins for their stores and services so that your brand and product will also be promoted in the other places near your city. They need to make a club that will gonna make them known in their place and be ready for multiple questions from their countrymen because obviously they will get curious about what they are doing and to have some booklet that contains the basic answers also should do it.
congratulate! We don't have any shopping malls here that use cryptocurrencies for payment. But people around me have already started to understand Bitcoin. A friend of mine is also considering cryptocurrencies as a form of payment. Perhaps next year, bitcoin payment will be one of the frequently seen payment methods. If I ever come across a supermarket that accepts Bitcoin, I might try to pay in cryptocurrency.
Actually you are right we don't even have shopping malls where we buy things with bitcoin. But many people here are quickly gaining knowledge about Bitcoin. If this continues we will see Bitcoin legalization in all countries within a few years. If we who know better about Bitcoin spread the good aspects of Bitcoin to everyone then definitely Bitcoin will become popular and trusted by us one day.

I am also happy for what you have created. because your efforts will fulfill the dreams of people who want to have hands-on experience in spending their crypto and bitcoin. because I know that some people want to try shopping with their bitcoins to just make it an experience. because the experience of shopping with crypto and bitcoin in the real world does bring a pretty deep impression (which is what I experienced). you should be proud of this. I congratulate you buddy.

do the best. I won't say much about what you wrote as your experience or your business story that has implemented accepting bitcoin payments.but it would be better if you also include some proof of the transaction so that we all know if you really did it. open I don't believe it but we're all just curious from the various stories here there are several threads that are almost the same.
but I support you to continue to grow your business and I hope you can consider the suggestions of some members in this forum.
Moreover isn't that suppose to be private? I owe no one any explanation mate, if you don't believe then I am sorry as there is nothing I can do about it. Imagine you are a government official, that transaction is the real proof that I am accepting Bitcoin, you ain't going to ever see that. Sorry.
Congratulations on making your dream come true, hope you get people out there to accept bitcoin, I called it a scam when I didn't know about it at first, now obviously I'm interested in bitcoin.

There is already evidence, as he posted photos, and he has business, not just for the sake of merit or whatever other reason he has. But I can't blame you, because we've already seen a lot of threads here that were just posted for the sake of merit, and they did it as if they had a purpose, only to find out they were lying. As long as I've seen pictures and it appears from first impressions that it's their business, I'm fine with it. But again, let's just support them no matter whether we have trust issues. I am hoping that their business will attract more customers because of bitcoin.

We want BTC to be adopted globally, we also want merchants around the world to start accepting BTC as an alternative means of payment in their business, and yet we see some Bitcointalk users who are doing their own best to make BTC popular in their local communities and i read many people doubting the veracity of their story. I believe it is because so many members have posted about the same thing lately, and you may correctly say that for some of them there isn't any need to always post their latest success with BTC. But if they take out their time to post it here, then in my humble opinion we should just try and support them, if they are telling the truth, it is good for the network, if they are lying, then the BTC community isn't technically losing anything.I read that many users in this thread are asking for proof of transaction, i'm afraid if you doubt that the entire story is false, then even a prrof of transaction can also be fake, the op can make a transaction with his friend or family, it does not mean that a customer actually paid for goods using BTC in his shop. With stories like this it is better to suspend disbelief, or just ignore
. 
For now I think there are very many people who use bitcoin or altcoins who dream like you, because it is indeed appropriate for bitcoin as a legal means of payment, and I also salute you for being only a fashion designer but can rely on bitcoin as a means of payment in your place, even though currently customers who pay bitcoin are still limited, you have to create a promotion that can attract other customers to design clothes in your place and make payments using bitcoin.
I have always dreamed of accepting Bitcoin as a means of payment since the year 2017 even before I became a master in my money-making haven ( fashion designer ) and now the time has finally come, today I start accepting Bitcoin payments. Yippy 💥💥💥
Congrats that your dream became reality and it happened because of your determination to spread awareness through your own way to accept Bitcoin as payment. If many people there still don't have idea about it, then what you did is the reason for them to know what Bitcoin is.I hope your business will become a huge success so that you can influence the people in your area to use Bitcoin not only as currency but as an investment as well. But this will only possible if they're interested to know the nature of Bitcoin since having a better understanding is a must too.

Congratulations on your success, I appreciate it because until now I haven't been able to achieve it, but after seeing what you are doing I am even more motivated.Just an advice for you, make sure to make a public notice that could serve as a sign post or billboard to brand your fashion design with the acceptance of bitcoin for payment and also make like little palmflet showing the details and procedures to how one can make the payment with bitcoin and I don't know if you have also included the lightening network payment mode inclusive or better still to consider such in due time, this will also move your business forward and make payment for your services at more convenient with customers ready to pay in bitcoin.
Of course, billboards will be very useful for product promotion, and by attaching the bitcoin logo or including the words "Accepting Bitcoin as a means of payment" this will also make other people interested in asking and looking for what bitcoin is. Apart from billboards, maybe you can use social media such as Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok and others to increase your marketing reach.

out something on the community.I know that there are people who cant just easily trust up on what are the things that they do able to read up online but lets just be not that too paranoid
because going into that certain extent do make you dubious everytime.
Each one of us had a dream and this one in op shows up that he/she did make it and lets just be happy for him/her.
Alot said this was done with an intention to fish merits?? I dunno... I can't vouch for anybody, but I'm seeing her to be more realistic here.
I do not mind if she intends to fish merit in this post since there is no other way to earn merit but to post away.
This is much better than a non-sense topic that is created just to spark non-sense discussion.It's not really doing any tremendous impact since it ain't generally accepted as a MEDIUM of exchange though but, it's gonna go a long way in giving apathetic customers -- the guts to venture in it.... AFAIK, no customer would confirm a trade in Bitcoin without having an idea or even getting into it at first. Except you've got alot of BTC users there, you're not gonna be having this everytime.
Congrats....

Bitcoin is considered a medium of exchange in my country that is why a private company named Pouch intend one of our popular tourist destinations to be a Bitcoin Island, the Boracay Island.
Going back to the topic, I believe @OP is just starting up and I really applaud her for her courage to set up a store that accepts Bitcoin even though her country is somehow skeptical of where it wanted to stand on the Bitcoin issue. It should be a tight situation when @OP needs to educate her client on the use of Bitcoin as payment so I think @OP need to prepare a step-by-step instruction on how to use Bitcoin as payment, print it out in a tarpaulin and post it on the wall of the store in a place where a client can easily read it but would not block customer who is looking around. You can give incentives to those who will try to pay in Bitcoin (can allocate some percentage of the profit in form of a discount).

Am so happy,seeing people go crazy about spreading bitcoin awareness gives me joy. You have a wonderful initiative to teach your apprentice about bitcoin and also accepting it as an alternative payment method in your fashion shop. Just keep on spreading bitcoin awareness and you will be very happy finally when it has been legalize in Nigeria as you will be proud of your effort that you gave to support its adoption.
There can be criticism in the forum by other members but don't give up as life is full of people criticizing the good work of others. If people do not critize you,it means that you are not progressing. Enjoy your business and stay cool.

But your customers look like tailors why is it that all of them have the measurement tape? Are you sure what you are saying. If it is true the you are Well done. Also your images are big so reduce them a little bit. And don't show the images of your persons again, respect their identity. Go and teach more then you will become a vendor in your locality. Three persons are not enough although for the Start. The way the thread is, it looks like a merit fishing, show the transaction the three customers made...
Those are my apprentices not my customers.. In my country Bitcoin isn't legalized yet so I don't want to have this on a billboard or signboard just yet, as for those saying I need to do more to inspire people do not forget the risks involved. There is no point inspiring those that show no interest in something that's highly volatile, I only lecture those that are open to new ideas and are not scared of taking risks.
I don't have to become a vendor I am just promoting Bitcoin, I have 80% of my money invested in crypto and it's been a long time coming, this was what even inspired my customers, asking me questions and telling me to teach them.
Merit fishing you say? I hope this forum implements video uploading someday so forum members will see a lot more, I have 5 apprentices and 1 was behind the camera taking my picture with 2 of my apprentice, do I look too young to be interacting with Bitcoin? You have no idea.
OP, it's not worth proving anything to anyone, especially your transactions. Why is this? It's just that Agbe played cop
because sometimes it happens that some people start to exaggerate their stories.But in truth, on the forum, anyone can come up with a story about traveling to the moon, and it is only the right of another person to believe it or not.
But for you, OP, I wish you advancement in business. I really respect your people, and I wonder how you all promote Bitcoin to the masses. I have said many times that I quietly envy such volunteering. In my country, it is simply impossible to accept bitcoin for sale or purchase; severe punishment will immediately follow.
I wish you luck in finding even more clients and educating even more followers of Bitcoin in the New Year.
If you have long dreamed of accepting bitcoin as a means of payment, then what exactly prevented you from doing it before?
How do various government agencies feel about what you charge bitcoin?
How do you account for these earnings (even if there were only 3 payments with btc)?
I ask this because your "money-making haven" is most likely registered and pays some kind of income tax.
Of course, people will call bitcoin a scam until they try it themselves and understand what it is and what opportunities can be obtained. The best way to understand this is to be able to pay for a product or service using btc. But it seems to me that only people who are very enthusiastic about the idea of bitcoin may be interested in this, because putting your hand in your pocket and getting the cash is easier and faster. Even though paying with a smartphone allows you to do it a little slower, it requires preliminary preparation and familiarity with bitcoin technology.
