When we talk about who accepts Bitcoin cash as payment, we think of Cine Multi, KFC, Quiznos, Namecheap, and Amazon. But how many other places accept Bitcoin cash? In this article, we’ll take a closer look at a few places that have been quick to add the cryptocurrency to their payment options. In addition, we’ll look at some businesses that don’t yet accept Bitcoin cash.
KFC
In Canada, KFC has launched a promotion in which a person can buy a bucket of fried chicken using bitcoin cash. The bucket costs $20 and contains 10 Original Recipe Tenders, Waffle Fries, Med Side, Med Gravy, and two dips. However, customers can’t pay with bitcoin at the cash counter. In addition, they can only purchase a bucket online. Whether KFC will eventually accept other cryptocurrencies remains to be seen.
Cine Multi
Cinemas are starting to accept cryptocurrencies like bitcoin cash. One such cinema is Cine Multi in Florianopolis, Brazil. The cinema claims to be the first of its kind in South America to accept bitcoin as a form of payment. The company has partnered with the Bancryp App to allow customers to use their digital currency to pay for tickets at the cinema. Cine Multi isn’t the first cinema in the world to accept cryptocurrencies, as the Major Cineplex Group in Thailand began accepting the blockchain payment method earlier this year.
Namecheap
Among the many new payment methods on the web, Bitcoin has finally found a place in the domain registrar Namecheap. The company, which has an impressive 3 million domain names under management, has recently announced that Bitcoin cash will be accepted for domain registration. Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer, decentralized cryptocurrency that allows people to send money instantly to anyone in the world. Unlike conventional currencies, there is no central authority to manage transactions; instead, the P2P network itself manages and processes payments. Namecheap has previously accepted PayPal, Google CheckOut, MasterCard, American Express, and Visa. But the new feature of Bitcoin cash acceptance is especially welcome as the company offers zero confirmation transactions.
Quiznos
As a leading cryptocurrency advocate, Bitcoin has been a hot topic lately. So much so that the fast-food chain has partnered with the digital asset marketplace Bakkt to accept bitcoin payments. Customers will be able to download an app that will allow them to pay for their meals and reward themselves with bitcoin in exchange for their loyalty points. The new partnership is set to launch in mid-August, but even if it doesn’t take off immediately, the move could lead to widespread adoption of the cryptocurrency.
At&t
AT&T has announced it will accept bitcoin cash and other cryptocurrencies as payment for online bill payments through its myAT&T app. The company has partnered with BitPay, a leading blockchain payment processor, to enable users to pay their bills with the cryptocurrency. Customers can select the payment option when logged in to their account online or in the myAT&T app. BitPay will then process the payment and convert the funds to fiat currency for the operator.
Shopify
There are many benefits of accepting Bitcoin cash as a payment method on your Shopify store, but it’s important to understand the nuances and how to get started. With Shopify, accepting bitcoin payments is as simple as following 3 steps. You can then accept payments directly into your wallet or store. If you don’t want to deal with the complexities of the cryptocurrency payment process, there are other options. For more information, check out the Bitcoin Cash FAQ.
eGifter
eGifter is a gift card marketplace that accepts bitcoin as a payment option. It offers gift cards from many companies and sources, but now you can purchase those cards in exchange for Bitcoin cash. Previously, you needed a Coinbase wallet in order to purchase bitcoin from eGifter. Thankfully, there are now many services accepting bitcoin as a payment option, including eGifter.
Home Depot
A large retail chain, The Home Depot, is testing Bitcoin payments in its stores through the use of its Flexa checkout system. The Winklevoss brothers founded the technology and partnered with Flexa. Whole Foods also started accepting Bitcoin through digital scanners. While many companies and institutions still refuse to accept Bitcoin directly, Home Depot is making an exception. The company is also accepting credit for bitcoin. A new app is currently available that will allow customers to use Bitcoin as payment.
