Yes both @siggy47 and @DarthCoin do a lot for the Worldwide Bitcoin community. I (also as a wholesale merchant, exporter, importer etc. ) encourage you contact Andrea https://bitcointourists.com/. I have met Her , her Husband and Brother literally at the Pier here in Honolulu they can help in placing your website with various Bitcoiners around the World. They have purchased using Bitcoin on my wallet POS which was to help my company, and the local Honolulu Bitcoin community.

Having a circular Bitcoin use is the key to working with other merchants and B2B suppliers, etc. Yes B2C is cool, but without B2B using Bitcoin we are delaying acceptance on a larger scale.

Glad you've joined SN Much Aloha from Waikiki. Rich globalmerchant.io

Should we try and support his business is there a website ? Thank you, Rich globalmerchant.io

I use opennode on our site,

globalmerchant.io

it works. https://opennode.com/

So basically we use shopify and integrated opennode to allow customers to pay in Bitcoin.

WE WANT TO GET SATS, WE ARE NOT, REPEAT NOT converting to any fiat, our goal is to GET SATS AND USE IN THE REAL B2B MERCHANT WORLD OF USING FOR TO PAY SUPPLIERS AND PARTICIPATE IN THE CIRCULAR BITCOIN ECONOMY.

("stay safe and hodl") is a great idea, but when will humans actually use Bitcoin ?

Some things to keep in mind: B2B or B2C merchants all need the very, very, very, basic stuff on their website:

Automatic shipping confirmations sent to their customer at time of payment, regardless of the size of the order.

Automatic packing lists printed (if you want to print it).

Automatic shipping info (tracking number) sent by email to the customer.

Automatic notification sent to the merchant that an order was received so you are aware and can do the manual order packing asap to make the above happen.

Shopify is the default used platform, the merchant can select various Bitcoin payment acceptance methods with little difficulty to add to the payment options for the customer.

Years back we tried accepting JUST Bitcoin on ibexpay (ibexpay pulled out of supporting the usa, we got notified and moved to opennode).

Yes it's a wonderful World we could pay for a beer or a cup of coffee using lightning somewhere in the World B2C, But we are running a wholesale business.

The sad news is very, very, very few actual users paying in Bitcoin.

95% of our B2B customers are in other Countries, we have to include the Harmon Codes ON EACH PRODUCT. When using shopify, it's easy they have a field to include the code for each product, when your adding products to your departments (shopify calls them collections).

Over the years I have read and continue to read soooooooooo many blogs, postings, videos about paying and ONLY USING YOUR OWN NODE.

That's cool, in the meantime shopify with a bitcoin payment processor is an excellent baby steps in getting started.

I just started using satstash.io might want to check it out.

This is a live example https://satstash.io/listings/523ae1a8-abfc-4352-aea6-66519c5c72ce

Darth has many great writings and ibexpay is shown, but when ibexpay notified us a year or so back that they are pulling out of USA support, is why I switched. I even did a medium writing on how "happy I was using ibexpay".

Actually I have found over the last 4-5 years some of my friends/clients have tried and occasionally use (read accept) usdt when they pay for their miners etc.

Check your site down again ? But thanks sawit for few minutes

Excellent writing. Thank you Jimmy, Aloha Ke Akua

I run a Shopify store (for b2b wholesale NOT retail) and added opennode.com as an ADDITIONAL payment method. If anyone actually checks into this using Shopify is probably the easiest to do.

Sales/payments using Bitcoin are almost zero. This is a reality. 14-15 years and Bitcoin is not yet really being used for b2b wholesale merchants. I also use zaprite, why ? because actual b2b merchants, want flexibility maybe they want to pay with a credit or debit card, or ACH or a T/T (wire transfer).

Very, very, very, very few (read almost zero) actually use Bitcoin for a payment method. I am a long term Bitcoin but for daily actual use the adoption is not here (YET), it will be. Sure it's a good conversation piece on paying for a cup of coffee somewhere in the World with Lightning, but in my humble opinion, wholesale use, normal, regular b2b adoption will eventually come, but keep the door open to having conversations, communications with those b2b merchants that get requests for also using USDT.

IF ANY OF YOU READING THIS JUST CHECK OUT WHEN YOU WANT TO BUY A BITCOIN OR OTHER TYPE OF MINER, the companies selling miners use multiple methods of payment. Sad to say you will see more types of crypto for payment than Bitcoin.

I use to have a territory on SN hoping to get exposure to b2b merchants, but no real interest. Don't get me wrong I am indeed pro Bitcoin, but there is more need in other Countries for using Bitcoin for payments than in the USA.

Welcome Brother, Food for thought Here are issues my B2B clients around the World are dealing with today: Accepting Lightning payments for more than $ 1,750.00 USD value, still seems like BTC on chain is the way to go.

Aloha, Rich globalmerchant.io

Me too, I feel the same way.

Even though I get a minute amount of traffic (on my territory) as I'm focused 100% on B2B buying and selling merchandise etc. And most people are not really merchants, let alone BTC focused merchants. But that's ok, I'm long term BTC.

Stay humble SPEND SATS, USE SATS IN A CIRCULAR BITCOIN ECONOMY.

I very much support any efforts in humans being able to trade goods. I will be glad to post any items on our site and bulletins we send out. Some suggestions from selling, marketing online on various domains since 1998.

Try and reach merchants with an "open arms approach" what I mean by this, in the past I have tried to immediately "push" people to only use Bitcoin at the beginning of conversations in person and online.

Today I have a tiny amount of B2B customers and suppliers around the World that use BTC, USDT, Liquid. Many, many, repeat many cannot afford large B2B transactions and want to do multiple payments or a combination of payment types. I HAVE LEARNED TO BE OPENED MINDED, I was introduced to Bitcoin from a few years of Sh*t coins.

I can provide some possible purchases into the USA from other Countries, but I'm in Honolulu, Hawaii and past experiences it's easier if whoever is offering any food stuffs, general merchandise, homemade goods, at some point they will need basic info to keep the attention and interest of a commercial buyer.

Looking forward to reviewing and possibly purchasing items that are logical for re-selling to my dealers.

Feel free to contact me Rich www.globalmerchant.io

We buy from New Delhi, long term relationship, primarily 6205.20 100% cotton shirts. Beach sarongs (polyester). We get bombarded with solicitations for selling us stuff.

Still open to discussing any opportunities. Are you a supplier ? or trader IN India ? Please use my contact page to discuss details, thank you Richard www.globalmerchant.io

Thank you, I'm looking forward to the day when we can freely trade with Cuba. Bitcoin will be a big help. I'm hearing through the grapevine some with similar thinking in Miami. Aloha, Rich

I would suggest having a Bitcoin payment method. I know it's NOT technically a nostr direct item, however Nostr users would probably be looking to support paying you in Bitcoin. OpenNode has a Wordpress plugin.

I am using open node on my Shopify B2B site. As I am doing B2B , I have to have automatic tracking notification and linking, Shopify is easier. I STRONGLY SUGGEST getting a working payment first that sends to your wallet in BTC first.

Once you want to have it go to your bank, you start having to do a bunch of KYC.
