Bitcoin’s volatility created a nightmare for most merchants. A 10% rise or drop in price in a single day was and is still common. For a merchant, this could lead to a $100 loss on a $1,000 sale.

BitPay, Coinbase, and other Bitcoin payment processors have helped merchants by taking on the volatility risk in accepting Bitcoin payments. Merchants can integrate with a Bitcoin payment processor and accept payments through these third party services. Payment processors receive bitcoin and send the merchant local currency at the end of each day or week. Merchants may also choose to keep any percent of payments as Bitcoin.

Bitcoin payment processors charge 1% per transaction, while credit card companies take 2-3% per transaction. Bitcoin helps businesses with low margins cut costs. If a merchant feels comfortable accepting Bitcoin without a payment processor, it’s free to accept Bitcoin with an address or wallet.

In addition to cutting costs, price increases have been the main driver of merchant adoption. As Bitcoin’s price rises, the hype makes more businesses view Bitcoin as legitimate and something that can help improve profits.

Bitcoin’s 2013 run up to $1,100 brought a huge wave of merchant adoption and is responsible for bringing on many of the billion dollar companies listed below.

This post will show you how to buy just about anything with Bitcoin. A number of the stores below offer a wide range of products that cover almost every category. If you don’t see what you need under a specific category, come back to the top and check under the “General” category.

General

Overstock - Overstock became the first billion dollar company to accept Bitcoin in early-2014. It’s possible to buy just about anything with Bitcoin at Overstock.com. From furniture to clothing, to jewelry and electronics, Overstock can provide Bitcoiners with most everyday items.

Gyft - Gyft is an electronic gift card retailer that started accepting Bitcoin in mid-2013. Suddenly, Bitcoin users could buy gift cards for Amazon, Best Buy, Delta, Home Depot, Whole Foods, and Walmart. Although some small stores had accepted Bitcoin before Gyft, none offered mainstream goods or ways to shop at already frequented stores. Additionally, Gyft offers 3% back on Bitcoin purchases, making Gyft competitive with credit card rewards programs.

Rakuten - Rakuten, a multi-billion dollar company based in Japan, added Bitcoin as a payment option for its US customers in May 2015. Rakuten’s offerings are similar to Overstock’s: clothes, books, furniture, health, toys, and electronics.

Purse.io - Purse.io makes it possible to buy anything on Amazon with Bitcoin. Purse matches users with extra Amazon credit (buyers) with users who want to spend bitcoin (spenders). A spender first creates a wishlist with his/her desired items. Once a buyer finds a wishlist in the right price range and accepts a spender’s offer, bitcoins are placed in escrow with Purse.io. The buyer then orders items to the spender’s destination address. Once a spender receives the order, the escrow is unlocked and bitcoins are released to the buyer.

Spend A Bit - Spend A Bit is a search engine for merchants who accept Bitcoin.

Domains and Hosting

Namecheap - Namecheap became the first domain registrar to accept Bitcoin in March 2013. In addition to domain names, customers can buy hosting, SSL certificates and more with bitcoin. Namecheap has taken stand against legislation like SOPA and CISPA, further boosting the company’s favor among Bitcoiners.

Decentralized MarketPlaces

OpenBazaar - OpenBazaar will become the world’s first purely peer-to-peer marketplace when it launches in February 2016. Users will be able to create listings similar to the way auctions are created on eBay. Since the available products depends on user listings, it’s safe to say that there will be a wide range of both unique and everyday items available for sale.

Food & Groceries

Fold - Fold, together with its sister company Card for Coin, helps pass on discounts from unused gift cards over to Bitcoin users. Since gift cards lack liquidity and can only be used to buy specific products, many are willing to sell gift cards for cash for only 60-80% of the listed value. Card for Coin purchases gift cards at a discount and then spends the gift cards for users through Fold. Bitcoin is sent to an address displayed in Fold. Within seconds, a scannable gift card is ready for use. Currently, Fold offers a 20% discount at Starbucks and 3% discount at Target with its AirBitz integration.

Hire Freelancers

Physical Locations

Most companies accepting Bitcoin are online retailers. Bitcoin acceptance in brick and mortar stores, however, is growing at a slower pace. Although the options are somewhat limited, merchant directories like Coinmap.org and AirBitz’s Directory will help you find local restrauraunts and stores that accept Bitcoin.
