Shopify Launches Coinbase Integration: Leap Motion, Boosted Boards, Soylent and iOgrapher Now Accepting Bitcoin

Starting today, merchants that use Shopify’s e-commerce platform to sell online can use Coinbase to accept bitcoin payments. This integration allows the 100,000+ stores that use Shopify to begin accepting bitcoin by simply creating a Coinbase account, enabling the integration on Shopify, and entering Coinbase account credentials.

Leap Motion, Boosted Boards, Soylent and iOgrapher are the first Shopify merchants to use Coinbase and offer their customers the exclusive benefits of two-click checkout, simple refunds and, if they choose, automatic discounts to customers who pay in bitcoin.   For anyone looking to open up an online shop, visit www.shopify.com.
