In about a month I will be launching an e-commerce website selling physical products online. Naturally, I am interested in accepting bitcoin in addition to other payment methods.
Unfortunately, after the better part of a day searching there doesn't seem to be a company offering merchant services for bitcoins that meet my needs; either the company requires me to be a registered business with a TIN, or only is set up to handle digital products.
My needs are as follows:
A button integrated into the website that allows processing of payments in bitcoins similar to Paypal's 'Buy Now' button.
The ability to price goods in US Dollars and have the bitcoin payment system calculate the current exchange rate and charge the customer accordingly.
For a unique payment address to be given to the buyer that is tied to their delivery address. (I am happy to create a bunch of these in advance if necessary)
To be sent an e-mail (or web-based) acknowledgment when payment has been received from a specific customer so I can promptly ship out their order.
Does anyone have any ideas of how I could arrange this on my own (I am not super technical) or knowledge of a company that would meet my needs? Thanks in advance!
