Hopefully in the next week or so!! Still working on the integration. We’ve been focused most of our time on sourcing more beans due to shortages around the world right now, so have a limited supply. Trying to build up inventory ASAP!

Thanks for sharing, and so glad you enjoyed them!! 🤗 We’re working on cooled shipping boxes as an option, but definitely challenging in the warmer months!

Seconding merchant adoption here! For the average business just getting interested in bitcoin, the logistical, financial, tech, and other barriers can be overwhelming. With a guided on-ramp and support, hopefully more businesses would take the plunge!

We posted a similar question yesterday! Nice to know we aren’t the only ones trying to figure this out with physical products. We get cocoa beans from small, rural producers in various countries, but none of them accept bitcoin (yet)… and great cocoa suppliers with ethical standards, organic certification, and high quality beans are hard to find as it is. Plus other obligations aren’t going to be payable via bitcoin overnight. We’re taking baby steps… likely going to start accepting bitcoin shortly, but will need to convert to usd regularly until we have more profit and/or convert our vendors over time 🤞

Thanks! Unfortunately we don’t have the luxury of holding any currency type in reserve yet 😅 Everything coming in goes right back out to expenses to stay afloat (obligations for equipment, rent, suppliers, investors, loans). But will definitely reach out in future if we have questions about setup 👍 Hopefully as we scale this gets easier! And roger that on Coinbase… someone else commented they don’t even accept Bitcoin?! Yikes. Didn’t realize haha. Clearly new at this… so appreciate the feedback!!

This looks great! Will look into it

Totally! Understand exactly where he’s coming from, and we would love to be all-in if we could right now. Holding anything (fiat or crypto) is currently impossible though 😅 Everything that comes in is immediately spent on expenses! Once we grow, we’ll have more flexibility to accept and hold/find vendors that accept Bitcoin 🤞 Our cocoa bean vendors are mostly in remote areas with limited infrastructure… actually think they’re prime candidates for Bitcoin in future which could be a huge win-win!

Thanks! Totally agree with the comments on mindset and we’re on that track. We’re juggling financial obligations, a complex supply chain, and multiple stakeholders that make a sudden transition risky for a small business like us. But love navigating this! Have to imagine many businesses are facing these same challenges and questions. Hoping on our journey we can help others move in the same direction🤞

I should add, the setup part for BTCpay would be pretty easy, mostly need to navigate the legal/accounting/cashflow side of things!

2025-03-17 19:41:24 UTC

Looking for feedback! We’re short on resources for legal, accounting, and tech logistics for accepting BTC directly. We want to use BTCPay Server, but are considering Bitpay/Coinbase Commerce temporarily to reduce friction while we figure out the details. Any thoughts, tips, or legal resources?? 🤔 All our suppliers use USD so might need to exchange regardless? Cashflow is always top of mind as a small business 😬

Hello world! Finally on Nostr. We’re excited to be here! 🙌 We’re a small craft chocolate producer based in the USA, making chocolate from bean to bar with simple, organic ingredients, using single-origin cocoa beans. Working to accept bitcoin in our online shop ASAP! 🤞
