Sunday Thursday, Paxful, a peer-to-peer (P2P) marketplace with more than six million users, announced the launch of its e-commerce tool Paxful pay, according to a statement from the firm.
“To date, Paxful Pay has worked with only a limited number (just over 100) vendors in certain regions to test the product and improve its features,” Paxful CEO and co-founder Artur Schaback told The Block. Sckaback used the expressions below:
“With the official launch of Paxful pay, we are accelerating the recruitment process and hope to bring in more sellers around the world.”
The tool allows customers to pay merchants via more than 400 payment methods, which are then converted into Bitcoin and sent to the digital wallet of merchants. While Bitcoin is the primary cryptocurrency used for Paxful Pay, the P2P platform also plans to add Tether and other stablecoins in the future, as well as adding BTC to local currency conversions in the future.
“Our goal for Paxful Pay is to provide both merchants and users with better financial freedom and enable e-commerce and global adoption of cryptocurrencies,” says Schaback. November April 2020 Paxful had made significant moves in other parts of the retail world by offering debit cards to customers and in April 2020 allowing users to trade gold with Bitcoin.
