SHOP.COM & BitPay Announcement Receives Global Media Coverage
Steve Ashley MAIC 2021 Announcement: SHOP.COM Accepts Cryptocurrency Through BitPay
On Saturday, Aug. 28 and during Market America Worldwide | SHOP.COM’s 2021 International Convention, Steve Ashley, President & COO of SHOP.COM, officially announced the use of cryptocurrency as the next chapter in purchasing products on both the US and Canada SHOP.COM sites. In the video above, Ashley discusses why SHOP.COM has now decided to accept cryptocurrency, what the major value of accepting cryptocurrency through BitPay has for both UFOs and online shoppers and what the future holds by welcoming cryptocurrency as a form of payment on SHOP.COM.
“SHOP.COM and Market America are such great brands,” said Sonny Singh, BitPay Chief Commercial Officer. “What I really like about them as such a great fit is because of your international presence. The fact that you’re only doing 40% of your volume in America means it’s a really global brand. In countries like Taiwan, Thailand, Argentina, Brazil and Indonesia, it’s very hard to make payments. Credit cards are not everywhere and in those countries BitPay and crypto is the cheapest, quickest payment option to accept Bitcoin and to receive crypto payment options as well.”
