The website is all bitcoin only. I host my own btcpay server and sats come directly to me. No middle man. No Shopify / wix / Wordpress bs.
No regrets. This is how I planned to do it from the start. I believe that in order to see a better world, I think one should act from first principles and support the very thing that is the least extractive. This is proof of work. Bitcoin is money, and I want to encourage it and be an example for others. Yes, this is limiting, I’m aware of that. But it’s my choice. Plus, it’s cooler to say that I’m Btc and nostr only tbh. I’m probably one of maybe 100 people in the world right now that can say that (someone correct me if I’m wrong).
Btc volatility never comes to mind. My prices adjust in realtime, so the sats price is always updated with no manual updating on my part. If I need fiat to cover expenses (supplies, shipping, etc) I trade p2p with a friend or I use Robosats (npub1gdf…2ffw).
When an order comes though, it is processed by btcpay which runs on my Start9 (npub126n…e9ll) node. The sats then go into one of my lightning channels that I manage (6 or 7 now) and as those channels fill I simply swap out to onchain, do coinjoins and then to cold storage. Inventory is also managed by btcpay.
I hope this helps!
quotingOh man you sure? I have so many questions!

How much of your demand actually comes from Nostr vs. word of mouth vs. elsewhere? Seems like from your site you’re Nostr/Bitcoin only? Any regrets? Do you think this is limiting sales/growth at all and if so any plans to expand? How do you handle btc volatility?
Your site/store really is great looking and easy to navigate. When you get an order paid in btc, what’s the process like on the backend and with fulfillment? 🙏
