The biggest online retailer of Switzerland, Digitec Galaxus which is also known as the ‘Amazon of Switzerland’ has now started to accept bitcoin along with other cryptos as a method of payment.
Digitec Galaxus accepting cryptocurrency payments:
According to Digitec Galaxus, they were willing to integrate cryptocurrency payments on their platform for a long time. The users will now be able to make their payments using Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin SV, Ethereum, Ripple, Binance Coin, Litecoin, Tron, OmiseGo and NEO.
According to the Co-Founder Digitec Galaxus, Oliver Herren, Cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin are captivating and could very soon be an important method of payment for all ecommerce stores and they are happy to support it. He also said that people will pay using cryptocurrencies because the ones who own them are willing to use them somewhere, some are not being able to convert them into fiat currency because of banking regulations and others would just like to try latest things.
Digitec Galaxus also admitted that by integrating cryptocurrency payments, the company is going to showcase itself as a progressive brand.
Partnership with Coinify:
Digitec Galaxus has partnered with a third-party cryptocurrency payment processing company, Coinify. All the payments accepted through cryptocurrencies shall be instantly converted into fiat currency i.e. Swiss Franc. This would ensure that the cryptocurrency market volatility does not create an issue for the company.
