The ongoing Crypto Winter has mellowed down the enthusiasm towards cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin. However, some good news has arrived from a Superstore in South Africa.
Pick n Pay is a leading grocery and appliance store in South Africa that has recently added payment support for Bitcoin. The shoppers will be able to make payments for their purchases using Lightning-network wallets such as Zap and BlueWallet.
To make the announcement, the parent company of the store has also issued a public statement informing the masses about the new adaptation.
The press conference suggests that the Bitcoin integration is the celebration of the completion of the first phase of the pilot mobile purchase application with success.
To make Bitcoin payments possible for their consumers, Pick n Pay has partnered with a secure mobile application platform.
The company also declared that it has been trying to introduce the same feature for its other stores. As per the company statement, shoppers can process their transactions with debit or credit cards.
On the other hand, the consumers can also scan the QR code generated by the application and use it to make conversions in RAND or legal tender in SA.
In addition to fast transactions, the transaction charges for these payments are also only 70 cents, and the time required to process them is smaller than 30 seconds.
Bitcoin Payment Option is now Available at Pick n Pay Stores
According to the local media reports, Pick and Pay has introduced the service in Western Cape Area. The pilot phase has been going on for around five months.
The company has claimed that it is planning to make more integration around the globe in more than 29 stores and has intentions to make it universally available among all branches.
Chris Shortt, company executive of IT at Pick n Pay, has told the media that by adding Bitcoin payments, the company has managed to deal with high and low-value transactions with equal efficiency. He further claimed that it would also set the trend for financial inclusion in SA.
Furthermore, the organization aims to open its doors to the latest innovations and technology. The Bitcoin community sees this news as positive addition and an extension of its use case.
