WayForPay payment engine has launched cryptocurrency transactions option to let Ukrainian webstores accept bitcoin.

The country’s largest food delivery service Ekipazh partnered with WayForPay, adding a QR-code to their website to let customers pay in BTC.



Payments are automatically converted into the national currency (UAH). No additional fees are introduced, the transaction fee being same as for ordinary transactions (maximum 2,5%).



WayForPay is a payment platform offering solutions for business and enterprise.



Earlier, Ukrainian online store ALLO.UA partnered with the country's leading bank PrivatBank to let its customers pay in bitcoin. The largest Dutch food delivery chain Thuisbezorgd.nl also started accepting bitcoins last year.



Ukraine is considered by many to be the Eastern European bitcoin leader. While the Ukrainian Central Bank is not ruling out the possibility of integrating bitcoin digital currency into the country’s financial system, common citizens campaign to raise the number of cafes and restaurants where bitcoin is accepted.
