Should we add a bitcoin option to our payment page?
Discussion - started by nzpersonals, posted on 3-Sep-25 10:24PM
Hi everyone,

I'm looking into ways that we can introduce a "pay by bitcoin" option to our payment page. I'm informed that such an option would only suit the younger generation.

Of course, any business that we sign up to would have to be a trusted, safe New Zealand based bitcoin service; to keep it all above board, and accountable under NZ law.

But I thought I'd throw the idea over to you guys.

Given that credit cards and open banking processors are now off the menu, would the option of paying by bitcoin be something that you would prefer as a way of paying your subs?

What do you think?
Have you paid for online services using bitcoin?
What was your experience?
Or, is it a really bad idea?

PS: I can't promise that we *can* bring you this option, I'm just doing some research and thought I'd canvas our community

I may have missed something somewhere - why are Cc/bank transfers not an option?

I think you partly misread my post, bank transfers are still an option and will continue to be an option.

It's just Credit Card and Open Banking processors that are off the table; for no reason other than Visa and Mastercard's declaration of war with selected industries, regardless of their legitimacy.

I've been informed that a bitcoin solution might be a good alternative to credit card payment processing.

It would be nice to get some feedback, advice, or opinion from our community, but if no one cares then I'll plod on with it

Ah! Thank you. I’ve used bitcoin to pay for things…but nothing under $25k from memory. That’s my personal choice though - I kinda like to trick myself into thinking it doesn’t exist 😂
