Australian Woodwork now accepts Bitcoin

Now you can shop for unique Australian-made gifts and homewares with Bitcoin.

At Australian Woodwork, we are always looking for ways to make life easier for you, the customer. We want to lead the way in providing a completely hassle-free purchase experience. And a big part of that is making it possible for our customers to pay in a way that suits them.

So naturally when we noticed the rising popularity of Bitcoin, we wanted to get on board. Since its release in 2009, Bitcoin has grown rapidly to become the largest digital currency of its kind. By February 2015, over 100,000 merchants were already accepting Bitcoin for products and services. However, it seems to have taken some time for the Australian gift market to catch on. We’re excited and proud to be among the first Australian-made product merchants to offer payment using Bitcoin.

There’s no question that the digital currency of Bitcoin offers advantages that traditional currencies cannot. To start with, Bitcoin is issued and managed with no central authority – it is not controlled by banks, governments, or companies. Instead, it is completely decentralised and distributed throughout the world. That means Bitcoin is the same no matter where in the world you may be. In many ways, these features make it the perfect form of currency for the Internet.

So now when you check out at Australian Woodwork you’ll notice the option to pay in Bitcoin using their dedicated payment service provider, BitPay. It’s never been easier to buy beautiful, sustainably sourced, Australian-made timber gifts and homewares.
