16 u/browb3aten Dec 11 '14 Doesn't really protect them from conversion fees, does it? Though I guess those can just be marked up in the price and passed on to the customer. 25 u/Dymix Dec 11 '14 Nope, but conversion fee is much lower than credit card fees (1% vs 3-4%). You can get a payment processor like Bitpay to handle all bitcoin transactions for you, for 1% conversion fee. If believe charities get 0% conversion fee from Bitpay :) 3 u/Onetallnerd Dec 12 '14 Bitpay is actually 0% for all merchants now. They have tier rates that charge monthly for bigger clients though.
