@DarthCoin, Then we are as well :)
@DarthCoin Indeed, they exist as well.
@Satoshi__Nakamoto, thank you! :)
@ek, will do thanks! :)
Good morning @ek, thank you for your comment and questions. It really varies from merchant to merchant. Many see it as a technology of the future and want to upgrade now to stay ahead of the competition, often using it as a marketing tool.
Just the other day, we were in touch with a luxury watch dealer from Munich who had already received five inquiries this year asking if Bitcoin could be used for payment. Others, however, prefer to accept only euros but are open to the possibility of handling transactions from Bitcoin customers, using off-ramping options.
Additionally, some merchants are attracted to the fundamental advantages, such as instant payment settlement, no chargebacks, and minimal fees.
Good morning Darth, thatās really a great idea! I think we can definitely include the mentioned link in our Merchant Onboarding email. We will look into how we can best incorporate it with a brief explanation about SN and its usage.
Thank you, and have a great weekend!
@Jestopher_BTC Thank you! :)
Bitcoin Lightning payments are particularly intended for repairs and, more notably, for the rental of the Tesla Cybertruck or Ford Lightning at this merchant. Since these vehicles are exclusively available through this dealership and are the only ones of their kind in all of Austria, renting them can be a truly unique experience
Generally, there are no substantial reasons to avoid accepting Bitcoin, particularly with the introduction of the Lightning Network.
Hello @DarthCoin, thank you for your comment.
Currently, the EU has not yet recognized Bitcoin as a foreign currency, but as soon as that changes, there will naturally be adjustments. We want to provide our merchants with all the tools they demand to make it as easy as possible for them to accept Bitcoin payments.
Thanks @0xbitcoiner!
Absolutely, we recently onboarded an official Apple reseller as a merchant. Now you can buy MacBooks for personal or business use via Bitcoin Lightning! :)
Thanks @Coinsreporter, Exactly, we think it's important to be present at such events! Besides, as you mentioned, Cologne is a beautiful city, and spending a few days there is a great experience.
Thank you @IamSINGLE! :)
My dear @DarthCoin, Thank you for your detailed comment :)
The drink shown is called Spezi or Cola-Mix, which is a mixture of cola and orange soda. It is often sold in beer bottles.
Our merchants place great importance on this; however, it is up to each individual to decide how and whether they declare their earnings for tax purposes. At @OPAGO_PAY, we aim to provide all the tools necessary to offer a reputable payment service.
Hello @Coinsreporter, Thank you for your kind comment. Please contact us via email at sales@opago-pay.com, and we will gladly provide you with a quotation.
We would like to add that we do not proactively recommend that merchants convert to fiat, but only use it as an additional option to orange-pill more merchants. As of today, almost all of our merchants hold their revenue in Bitcoin.
Furthermore, there will soon be an option in our dashboard to decide what percentage of incoming payments should be off-ramped. You can imagine it like a gauge where the customer can independently adjust the pointer.
