How to Setup Facebook Page for Shop that Accepts Bitcoin Cash

5 70

Bitcoin cash has made it possible for the users to accept the money with extremely low fees. You can't possibly imagine running online store with the Ethereum or even Bitcoin for processing small amount of money. You'd be buried in the sea of transaction fees.

So I was thinking about writing series of articles on how you can setup a shop on facebook where you get to accept the BCH and get to run your business.

Before we can discuss the setup of the online stores. We have to find out what are some of the common obstacles that come our way when it comes to the online shopping and crypto.

  1. Shop needs to give invoice for crypto payments.

  2. Shop needs to accept the coin of your choice, in our case, Bitcoin Cash.

  3. Shop needs to build trust so that you can pay them through crypto.

So considering some of these issues that we often notice with most of the online stores that accept the crypto. Here are some ways it can be solved.

  1. Through local POS which accepts the bitcoin cash.

  2. Through payment gateways.

  3. Through QR code systems that accept the bitcoin cash.

So I decided to come up with a steps to do the same with few of the above methods and monetize the facebook page that showcases the shops offline and online. So we will go through that and see if that can be done to accept the BCH.

Step 1. Find Facebook Pages Similar to Your Shop

This step may take some time. But you can always check out how other people have done. Just search for such shops in the search bar of Facebook. Find out how they are designing brand logo, content and also page in general.

Check some of the pages on how they are making the page and how they are marketing the products on the page. It would be reasonable to build the such pages which can be monetized later using the Bitcoin Cash.

Step 2. Build Your Page

Get help from your designer friend or simply use the canva. You can then get to build the design as you see fit. Focus on the experience and reduce the clutter. Just empty space with logo is lot better than stamping the ads all over the pages. Just your brand name and phone number on the page header can help a lot.

Add some products into the pages and populate the gallery. This would help you get some focus on the products too. As you can see more images you add about product, it becomes easy to get attention of the customer.

Step 3. Start posting images of products on sale

You have to learn to create the posts on the page effectively such that you can get some people to click on them and go through your links.

Focus here is getting the attention. Once you get the attention you can get them to page where they can pay in crypto.

Avoid using too many hashtag. Just use hashtag related to product and another your own for brand. That should be enough for establishing spam free presence.

Step 4: Use Payment Gateway that Accepts the Bitcoin Cash

There are plenty of payment gateways that you can use to accept bitcoin cash. You can also make use of them for your shops too. You either use personal or business account in order to accept the payments.

Here are some of the gateways that you can use.

  1. Bitpay

  2. Coingate

  3. Coinspaid

These are some of the known and reputable payment gateways that you can use for accepting the bitcoin cash in your shop. You can try them out by creating shop links and testing the payments through small amount. If it works, then good we will be using them in product posts for redirecting customers.

Step 5. Use the payment links on every product post or gallery image

This should be a no brainer but you have to use the product payment links as often as you can in order to get the user to buy from you. And also make sure to explain your delivery and the process to your customer in general. This way you can get the payment link to do actual work on your business.

Conclusion

You may notice that this is pretty simple process as long as you make use of the tools that are already available for you. Start using Bitcoin cash and start accepting them into your online stores. Ask your users or customers to accept bitcoin cash and see how it helps your business. :)

This is an awesome article especially to online sellers out there and Bitcoin Cash enthusiasts like me. I was thinking this recently to accept payment online via Bitcoin Cash QR code but I think I need to consider my customers too if they are also into cryptocurrency like BCH. I will try what you have mentioned like BitPay, Coingate and Coinspaid soon. Thank you for this. Have a wonderful day.
