Printful partners with BitPay to offer cryptocurrency payments
Jul 18, 2022
Charlotte, North Carolina—Printful is one of the first print-on-demand companies to offer customers the ability to make payments using cryptocurrency. The new payment option is facilitated by BitPay, the world’s largest Bitcoin and cryptocurrency payment services provider.
Cryptocurrency payments are available for registered Printful customers, allowing the company to cater to new and existing users’ needs. The new payment option could also help Printful bridge the gap between cryptocurrency and print-on-demand store ownership for people interested in selling NFT-related merchandise.
“Crypto can transform the ecommerce industry, making payments faster, more secure, and less expensive on a global scale, benefitting companies like Printful,” comments Merrick Theobald, Vice President of Marketing at BitPay. “Our goal at BitPay is to make accepting crypto a seamless process and increase adoption as we believe crypto is the future of payments.”
The cryptocurrencies available for Printful customers include Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Ethereum, USD-pegged stablecoins, and many more. Additionally, Printful customers will benefit from BitPay’s crypto payment solution as the blockchain eliminates transaction fraud and improves borderless payments worldwide.
“Our users have been asking for a cryptocurrency payment option for a while now. Since one of our main priorities is meeting our customers' needs, we decided to collaborate with BitPay. With this partnership, we can be one of the first print-on-demand companies to offer a cryptocurrency payment feature to interested customers,” adds Janis Akmentins, Head of Engineering at Printful.
