Looking to set up a shopping cart and would like to accept bitcoin.

Coinbase looks ok if your customer already has bitcoins to spend. However if he needs to buy them, he will need a US bank account (not very global). After some days he can verifying that account with Coinbase and initiate a transfer from the account in order to buy some Bitcoins. This seems like a bit of an impediment.


Does anyone have any experience with bitpay, either as a customer or a merchant?

Thanks
