Accept Bitcoin without rebuilding your business around crypto.
Bitcoin4Retail helps retailers understand how to accept Bitcoin with Square — with a focus on processing economics, faster settlement, practical setup and day-to-day operations.
Make the payment rail earn its place.
Retailers do not need another technology experiment. They need payment options that improve economics, reduce friction and fit existing operations.
Reduced friction
Offer Bitcoin through a familiar commerce platform instead of stitching together a separate checkout stack.
Better economics
Compare Bitcoin processing with card fees using actual transaction examples.
Fast settlement
Lightning payments are typically completed in seconds, subject to network and technical conditions.
Operational choice
Eligible retailers can receive Bitcoin payments as dollars or Bitcoin.
