An important retailer in South Africa called Pick n Pay’s is now accepting Bitcoin temporarily as a payment method for groceries and services.
In a statement posted on its website, Cape Town-based specialist software payments development house Electrum, said customers at Pick n Pay’s campus store are now able to use the bitcoin cryptocurrency to purchase groceries and services.
Jason Peisl, IS Executive at Pick n Pay, said, “At Pick n Pay one of our key values is to embrace change and encourage innovation and leadership. To deliver on that promise we are constantly working with our technology partners to find ways in which we can deliver valuable, innovative services to our customers. Cryptocurrency and Bitcoin are still relatively new payment concepts, yet we have been able to effectively demonstrate how we are able to accept such alternative payments.“
Clients have to scan a QR code with a Bitcoin wallet app to make the purchase.
Here is a video showing the process to pay with Bitcoin at the store:
