A second price, never a replacement
The amount in your currency stays exactly where it was. The sats figure goes beside it or under it, smaller, and it inherits font, colour and weight from your theme. Nothing of ours overrides your design.
Shopify app Coming soon
Every price in your shop, also in sats.
Next to your price stands the same amount in sats or bitcoin, smaller, in the font and colour your theme already uses. You keep charging in your own currency.
Running in production hosting. Going to the Shopify App Store next.
What it does
Everywhere a price stands
Product pages, collection listings, the cart, quick views, and the prices that appear after a variant switch without the page reloading. There is no standard marker for a price in a theme, so the app also watches for what arrives later.
Follows the currency the customer sees
With Shopify Markets the same shop shows euros, dollars and francs. The app converts from the currency in front of the customer, not from your base currency.
The merchant decides how it looks
Sats or bitcoin, the word or a symbol, before or after the amount, beside the price or under it, and whether a tilde marks it as approximate. Every setting sits on the block in the theme editor.
What it costs
2.10 USD per 30 days, seven days free.
Seven days free. We never ask you for payment details; Shopify handles the billing and you approve the charge there.
After that 2.10 USD per 30 days. Cancel any time in the app, there is no minimum term.
2.10 because there are 21 million bitcoin. That is the whole reason. This app is meant to travel, not to pay rent.
What it does not do
- It does not reach the checkout. Shopify's checkout cannot be extended by a theme app, so the second price stops at the cart.
- It does not change your prices. Nothing is charged in bitcoin and nothing is converted at payment. Your shop bills exactly as before.
- It writes nothing into your theme. The block is an app embed you switch on yourself, and it goes with the app, out of your storefront and out of the editor.
- It reads no customer data. The only permission it asks for is read_themes, used for one thing: to tell you whether the block is switched on.
Where it can be blind
There is no standard way for a theme to mark a price, so the app looks for prices in the rendered page. The free themes and the widely used paid ones are measured and covered. A theme that names its prices in a way nobody has seen yet can slip through, which is why the first question in support is always: which theme are you on.
Questions people ask first
Does my shop start accepting bitcoin?
No. Nothing about your payments changes. The app writes a second number next to your price, and that is all it does.
Where does the rate come from?
mempool.space leads, because an app that writes prices in sats should not take its rate from an exchange while a source from the bitcoin world exists. mempool.space knows seven currencies, so a broad source lies underneath for every other one.
How current is the rate?
It is refreshed at most every 60 seconds. What you see is a conversion at the rate of a moment ago, not a promise, which is why a tilde stands in front of it by default.
Will it fit my theme?
It takes font, colour and weight from the price it stands next to and sizes itself relative to that. This is why it fits themes we have never seen.
What happens when I uninstall?
The block goes with the app, because it is an app embed and not code in your theme files. Nothing of ours stays behind.
Your data
The app asks for a single permission, read_themes, and it holds nothing about your customers. Your shoppers' browsers never talk to our servers either: the block asks your own shop for the rate, and Shopify passes the question on.
