Overstock’s international customers can now pay with Bitcoin

Overstock has updated its checkout system for international customers so they can pay with Bitcoin. Early this year, Overstock became one of the first online shopping sites to accept the cryptocurrency.



"Bitcoin has been readily adopted in countries outside the United States, yet the opportunities to spend Bitcoin internationally are extremely limited," states CEO Patrick M. Byrne. "We're pleased to offer this service to the millions of Bitcoin users in other countries and believe they will respond enthusiastically. With this move, Bitcoin has indeed become a borderless currency that permits its holders to buy and take delivery of millions of products."



International customers can shop the Overstock website for any of the nearly 2 million products available, including furniture, rugs, apparel, electronics and jewelry, and pay with Bitcoin.



Overstock is a discount online shopping retailer based in Salt Lake City, Utah, which sells a broad range of products. Worldstock.com, a fair trade department dedicated to selling artisan-crafted products from around the world offers additional unique items. Main Street Revolution supports small businesses across the United States by providing them a national customer base.
