Philip Rooke has finally confirmed that Spreadshirt will implement Bitcoin payments because of the pressure we applied. I am incredibly relieved that our persistence paid off for every shop owner waiting for this change. We successfully moved the company to adapt to the future.

Help us get Spreadshirt to enable it’s 300,000 shop partners to accept Bitcoin.
Not only will customers have the freedom & flexibility to buy goods with Bitcoin, sellers will also have the option to earn in Bitcoin too. If you want to help increase or speed up Bitcoin adoption. Please spare 5 seconds and support this movement.We need every one of you to make this happen.

"I receive hundreds of requests a month from consumers and our ecommerce platform sellers wanting Amazon checkout and payment. We have yet to have one for Bitcoin. If Bitcoin is not mass market then it will be of little use to ecommerce retailers and platforms. The internet is a funny place however, where new ideas do catch on. My job therefore is to try and cover as many of our customers’ needs as possible, so if enough people want to use either Bitcoin we will adapt and find ways of taking payments!"
We believe Bitcoin is the future of digital currency. We would like to request as a community and as consumers for Spreadshirt to implement Bitcoin as a payment option.
As an international online retailer operating in 17 countries we feel you have nothing to lose but only gain by granting our request.
By embracing Bitcoin not only will you gain a competitive edge over your rivals. You will be giving more choice and flexibility to your customers.
The BitPay system costs far less (1%) for merchants to use as a payment system as compared to credit cards (3%). Merchants do not have to worry about chargebacks and can convert secure digital bitcoins directly in USD dollars.
By accepting Bitcoin through payment processors like BitPay, merchants can choose whether to keep Bitcoins or to receive a direct deposit into their bank account in currency.
By fulfilling our request not only will Spreadshirt attract a lot of media attention, I’m sure it will benefit from an increase in sales as well.
Customers residing in countries with limited payment options will also benefit from Bitcoin option too.
Spreadshirt can avoid paying high transaction fees to payment processors like PayPal and credit cards. We believe there is no serious drawback to accepting Bitcoin.
It will also enable Spreadshirt to pay the 300,000+ worldwide shops that create and use their platform to sell designs in Bitcoin as well.
Spreadshirt and its customers can only benefit from Bitcoin: it is a win-win situation.
So Spreadshirt we ask you to join us in becoming apart of The Bitcoin Revolution!
Disclaimer – We do not represent Spreadshirt. This is a grass roots cause powered by people who believe in Bitcoin. We hope our actions will inspire others to take action.

I have been reading through the shop owners comments and the desire for more payment flexibility is loud and clear. Your stories about wanting to earn in Bitcoin keep me pushing forward with this request.
May 12, 2014
Seeing this momentum grow confirms that we are not just asking for a new feature but defining the future of how we trade. I remember when the idea of Bitcoin at Spreadshirt felt like a distant hope. Now it feels like a necessary evolution that we are pushing toward together.

I really want to buy a bitcoin shirt with bitcoin! I'm in Canada and it's expensive for me to pay it in other denominations - I don't use credit cards.
I have designed a t-shirt I want to by from you, but I can't since I don't have a way to pay for it. Please Implement bitcoin and I'll buy from you!

Spreadshirt alone has a total of 72,000 sellers. This is good news for Bitcoin and Spreadshirt. If we can get the signatures it will hopefully encourage other online retailers to follow.

Yes please, it is much safer to pay with Bitcoin compared to credit cards (Push vs. Pull Payments). Thanks :)
