Newegg accepts Bitcoin payment

Los Angeles – Newegg is partnering with BitPay to accept Bitcoin payments on Newegg.com. The company’s registered customers can now pay using Bitcoin through BitPay.



With BitPay’s platform, Newegg can accept Bitcoin payments and also handle refunds and payment exceptions using the Bitpay Bitcoin API. When completing an order on Newegg.com, customers can now select “Bitcoin” from the list of available payment methods during stage two of the order process.



Orders processed using BitPay can be completed using a “Pay with Bitcoin” button if the customer has digital wallet software installed, by scanning a QR code if the customer’s digital wallet is stored in a smartphone, or if the customer’s digital wallet is hosted on the Web, the customer clicks the “View Address” link to display the digital wallet address and send the Bitcoin amount due.
