Another e-commerce success story accepting STEEM!

in ecommerce •  7 years ago 

You guys have to check this out a new online store accepting steem as currency that just popped up! And this one pretty much gives you fiat for STEEM in the way of gift cards.

This is a great way to think outside of the box in the problem of changing steem directly to fiat.

You can check out the store announcement post here.

Anyways it sounds like it's been a success so far since @xtrodinarypilot (the man behind this amazing idea) made this post today sharing that he had gross sales over $2, 000 in his first day.

This kind of thing makes me really excited for steem as a currency, we have also been accepting steem for about 2 months now on our silver bullion store Phelimint.com with great success as well. We were an established store hosted on shopify and we have since fallen in love with steem/steemit.

Adding the "pay with steem" gateway was quite simple using the scripts here provided by @adept

I always though and suggested in a past post that other people that wanted to start a shopify store, dropship some line of products that may interest people on steemit, accept steem and other cryptocurrencies would be a great way to make a little bit of passive income.

Yes please steal my idea! Heck if I didn't already have a million things on the go, I'd be starting all kinds of stores to this effect, but I need to focus on the one I'm already running, plus the 4 other jobs I have locally and my family (family first of course).

I also believe that having more retailers that are accepting steem as a form of currency will only help with the long term valuation of the currency.

In fact maybe the big spike in price we witnessed today is the direct result of this new store opening up! Hey it's possible.

I know @pennsif is hosting a list of stores accepting steem HERE on his blog and this has also been a passion of mine trying to promote this idea also.

I'm excited to be announcing this! Anyone else considering the same don't hesitate to reach out to us to any help or support

Thanks for the information :)

Great stuff @phelimint! I've noticed a couple of users with links to sites accepting Steem in the past. For those of us that aren't very crypto savy on exchanges, or don't want to pay the fees, it's a good way to actually get paid for your content.

Myself, I like turning Steem into pure .999 Silver over at https://www.phelimint.com Haha! Sorry, I couldn't resist.

That's a great collection you've amassed from us man. I love seeing all this! It is nice that it's just one step compared to working it all through the different steps on the exchange.

Too sweet!

Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

Nothing I like more than Steem & Silver! One I speculate on - the other my insurance policy ...

You got it figured out perfectly man. It seams more are starting to figure out this perfect balance!

Fantastic advice and story. I love it. Thanks. How do we make this grow really big? Any ideas?

This is awesome. Placing a order soon. I spend most my money on amazon anyway. 😂

Awesome man! But not too much, you always need more SP too...lol.

Woow es de mucho interés y utilidad tu información @phelimint muy buena explicación sobre el uso de esta tarjeta de crédito y el uso del "pay with steem"

I'm considering accepting it for my art, but my website is with WIX, any idea if I can incorporate the gateway in my site? I'm an artist from Montreal, followed you. I've thought of potentially doing coins with my designs at some point so, nice to connect on here!

Unfortunately I'm not a programmer, but I should see if I can search out someone who can, it would be great if this same thing worked for any store. I guess I lot would depend how much control you have over the check out process with WIX. Maybe give them a shout and start asking if it's possible.

You're a man of multiple capacities!!!

wait for more sites like amazon :)

Great to see and hear! Thank you for sharing!

My pleasure, I'd love to have time to curate and share more of these e-commerce stories like @pennsif and it was my plan at one time.

I love seeing stuff like this.

When you think about Steem is so undervalued compared to other coins. I cant think if another coin that is used for anything other then staking, holding are lending.

I had no idea of any stores accepting steem. That's an awesome idea. And I would love to start a Shopify store that only accepts steem.

i will like to use the APP,,is the app really for real thank you
