Hello all, I'm new to the E-Junkie community but have a question about the platform. If this is the wrong forum my apologies, please move to the appropriate place.



I'm looking into my storefront accepting BitCoin and LiteCoin payments. So Far I could only find a couple payment processors: www.gocoin.com3 and bitpay.com. I've read the reports that Overstock made over 100k USD revenue in a single day just from accepting Btc payments, so I wonder if E-Junkie supports it or will in the future?



I also think gocoin.com stands out because they accept Litecoin payments, from what I have read are the only payment gateway... But I'm not one to jump into the deep end.



There are probably not too many negatives in adding additional payment options to increase conversions. Is there any plan for Btc/Ltc integration? Also, anyone here have any storefronts that started accepting the crypto-currencies and any positive results?



Thanks for any and all feedback!

Currently none of the payment processors we support accept the BitCoin currency or any of the other similar variants, and since these are currencies and not services there is nothing we can do on this end to integrate them into our cart. We are still considering payment gateways or processors that accept these currencies but we have no definite plans on supporting them in the near future, as bringing in a new payment service is one of the most time consuming and expensive development tasks we can take on.

Hey CommerceJunkie,



Welcome to the E-Junkie forums. We all love e-junkie for it's price and simplicity, but there's a dark side to e-junkie.



They left their fiery startup development phase long ago, and from what we can see, current development is about as busy as a ghost town.



Bitcoin integration is an 8 hour job for the right person. And e-Junkie would make it straight to the headlines for incorporating bitcoin payments. Unfortunately, they don't have that person, and there's nobody to find that person on the e-junkie team. People here have been begging for bitcoin, amazon payments, and a non-flash back-end. Alas, it's still the same e-junkie we've all been using for the past five years with almost no changes.



BTW, E-JunkieMonster, Bitcoin is both a currency, and a transfer protocol. If you wanted to, you could integrate payments directly without the use of bitpay or coinbase. But using bitpay/coinbase services would allow merchants to avoid exchange risk.

Power at e-junkie: You guys have an awesome service, but you're missing out on a real opportunity here.
