Definitely a third party service. Then place the bumper sticker "No Bitcoins on our servers" somewhere :)
I integrated MtGox and BitPay. Compared to Google Checkout (XML mania) and PayPal (documentation drama) they take about 5 seconds to implement (test is another thing entirely).
I went with MtGox in the end since it was cheaper. I was then happy to offer a 3% discount to make up for the fees users got stung with purchasing BTC. However MtGox has a number of bugs that make it a show stopper for some customers.
If you ask the right questions they will acknowledge the bugs and tell you they are working on it and need plenty of time. I would probably not use MtGox if I had known about the bugs prior to integrating.
- sounds 13y agoJust wanted to public thank you for detailing your experience as a merchant, setting up with MtGox and BitPay. Just curious, would you give BitPay a second look? Obligatory: I'm currently using MtGox and haven't really had the time to try BitPay, but the MtGox legal issues could be a reason to need a second option.
- _Lemon_ 13y agoYes I would, I'd probably jump back to them. I've just not had time to sit down this year!
