Opening a thread to share info about merchant adoption…
Also check out https://paywithz.cash to get more ideas about where to spend your ZEC!
A merchant asked me about accepting Zcash in their online Shopify store. I’m not too familiar with Shopify. What’s the best tool for that job?
@Shawn has some experience with it, IIRC.
It would be nice to have on the same page a guide that explains “How to accept zcash” especially to z addresses. I wouldn’t mind asking for zcash at my place (brick and mortar) at the counter, but I haven’t found the ideal solution yet (POS).
Zatsuma is a a Zcash POS by @ChileBob, he could probably help you with that GitHub - ChileBob/Zatsuma: Javascript Point-Of-Sale app for Zcash, Ycash, Bitcoin (+LN)
Thanks for the reminder. I looked at this, but at that time, I stopped because of this :
I could however check this again …
I imagine that some lighter solutions will come soon with the light wallets becoming available on smartphones too.
Is Zatsuma compatible with Shopify? This merchant has a Shopify store.
Errm… probably not.
Zatsuma is basically a JavaScript UI that talks to a node, plus a some mysql for order tracking.
Edit: At some point I need to get it working with a light wallet rather than a full node, and lose all the Bitcoin stuff!
I was only able to accept transparent Zcash via coinpayments.net through Shopify. On the Shopify backend you had to email Shopify (and possibly coinpayments?) to get a code to enable it because it’s considered Beta software. But it should still show as an option under payment methods in the back end.
k, thanks. i shared that info with him.
This call to action is as pertinent as ever:
BitPay has a Shopify integration: BitPay Auth
That’s really what we need! But I think BitPay only does BTC.
However… maybe some of their open-source projects would be useful to fork and adapt for z2zcash?
I believe BitPay intend to add more currencies. BitPay CEO: Platform Will Support More Cryptocurrencies and Possibly Lightning Network
