"I want to pay with Paypal is that possible?!"
Of course. But you only get 3% Discount if you pay with Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency.
"Yeah but I want the discount for Paypal too? That's real money."
My idea was simple. I wanted to shop in cryptocurrency as simply as possible. This should be like the offline experience - fast and private. You go into the store, pick out your stuff, go to the checkout, pay and leave.
The customer has his goods, the merchant has his money and privacy has been preserved.
But how can this be done online?
With Paypal? Impossible, they track your every move as soon as you integrate it.
Klarna/Credit Cards? Same. But different. But still the same.
We don't have to track anything because Bitcoin is prepaid. "Don't trust, verify." is the motto. Our payment process can therefore compete with the largest online shops in the debt-money system, because we only request necessary data. My goal is to ensure mass adoption in the long term, so that we all can finally live free with hard money.
"Pardon? I should pay in advance? Why should I trust you?"
Because I opened ShopinBit in December 2018, and it is now Europes biggest Bitcoin Store, with over 300,000 products.

This is a Bitcoin Company. Our brand is built on our good reputation. We don't get a second chance if we don't deliver and I would be branded a scammer for life.
"Okay, and why is this more private than other sites?"
You don't have to open an account with us. In fact, we've made this our default. That means you have to actively uncheck "Don't create an account" to create one. For this purpose we pseudonymise all personal data 30 days after your order and delete the e-mail traffic. This is of course only valid for orders without a customer account.
Invoices are stored offline by us, because we have to keep them for accounting.
We don't use Analytics. Again this is a Bitcoin Company: Are Sats coming in? Yes = Good, No = Bad, change, reiterate, try again.
If i wanted to run a spy agency I would have called my self John Le Satosheé or Sats Archer. No need to go Full Gestapo.
We also have a newsletter. You can subscribe to it voluntarily or not. We do not impose it on you. If you want to use a newsletter without giving us your e-mail address then join our telegram channel.
"What about warranty claims if I don't have a customer account?"
Keep your invoices safe. If you do not have an invoice, we cannot help you. With an invoice you of course have the legal dealer warranty of 2 years as well as the 14 day right of withdrawal.
"What about refunds?"
If we make a mistake, e.g. you receive the wrong product, we will give you your coins back precisely.
- As an illustration: You have paid 1 BTC but received the wrong product. You send the product back to us and receive 1 BTC back.
- If you make use of your 14 day right of withdrawal you will get back the current Euro value.
In other words: You have paid 1 BTC but now want to return the product. After receipt of the product we will take the current Kraken Euro exchange rate. In the meantime, the exchange rate has risen and you will only receive 0.85 BTC back. These are only sample numbers for illustration.
"What cryptocurrencies are accepted?"
Bitcoin, Lightning, Monero, DASH, and Litecoin directly.
Altcoins like ETH, BNB, etc. through our two Altcoin Exchangepartners (they exchange them into Bitcoin for us).
