The introduction of Bitcoin payments is a significant innovation step. The format of the press release has limited space, so we extended it with some of the most important questions that relate to the topic. Jan Sadílek, Head of the Internet Marketing Department, answered for Alza.
There was a demand from our customers. Alza.cz is a technologically-oriented, trend-setting company and Bitcoin is a progressive technology. We took steps to ensure our customers enjoy the potential and benefits Bitcoin provides
It is an increasingly popular way to pay for products and services. We have received numerous questions and suggestions regarding this issue for quite a long time, and the interest just kept rising along with the growth of the Bitcoin value. So we began thinking about introducing it.
First, this payment method is not that different from other online payment methods when it comes to speed and simplicity. Unlike those, however, bitcoin allows you to pay online even if you do not have a bank account or a credit card. This is an important factor that many people really appreciate.
Bitcoin payments currently account for more than 90 percent of all cryptocurrency transactions. That said, we are also making preparations for accepting other types of cryptocurrency, such as Litecoin, Ethereum, Dash and others.
Yes, Bitcoin transactions meet the Czech legislative requirements. We have introduced the virtual currency option because of the demand from our customers, and we believe this type of payment will only become more popular in the future.
Bitcoin is simply, another way to pay for products, so the tax system remains the same as with any other type of payment.
All payments are processed via the Bitcoinpay.com payment gateway, operated by British Confirmo Ltd, a British-based company with considerable experience with Bitcoin transactions.
There are many ways to obtain them. One of the easiest is to use a Bitcoin ATM, which enables you to purchase and redeem bitcoin for crowns or euros. One such ATM is located in our showroom in Holešovice, Prague and another in our Bratislava showroom. Our ATMs are operated by GENERAL BYTES sro, a leading company in the field.
From the large ones, we could name Microsoft, Dell, T-Mobile Poland, WordPress, or Wikipedia. And of course, there is a huge number of smaller merchants who have embraced this technology as well.
Yes, we accept Bitcoin payments on alza.sk , alza.de , alza.at and alza.co.uk and alzashop.com.
Absolutely! For example, a customer who purchased bitcoin a few months ago can now buy products more than 30 percent cheaper, due to the favourable exchange rate
