American online retailer begins accepting Bitcoin

The US-based online retailer Shop.com has added cryptocurrency payment support as part of a partnership with the processing service BitPay. This was stated by Market America Worldwide president Steve Ashley at the MAIC2021 conference.

The platform supports payments in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and “several other cryptocurrencies.” Ashley added that the BitPay integration is available in all countries where Market America operates, including the United States, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, Singapore and Malaysia.

Earlier, the leading telecommunications company in Latin America and the Caribbean, GoldConnect, integrated cryptocurrency payment support via BitPay.

In April, the online retailer Newegg added Dogecoin as a payment method through the processing service, and the flexible workspace provider WeWork announced the acceptance of the first cryptocurrency.

In May, the authorities of the American city Williston announced a partnership with BitPay. Under the agreement, residents were allowed to pay their utilities with Bitcoin.
