Payments company Stripe along with bitcoin (BTC) payments infrastructure platform OpenNode have formed a partnership to allow Stripe’s merchant customers to instantly convert their payments to bitcoin via the OpenNode app. Using the app, customers of Stripe will be able to convert incoming payments and any amount of their balance into Bitcoin. The service will be part of a public beta of a new apps marketplace from Stripe slated to launch in the next few weeks. Through the OpenNode app located in Stripe’s app marketplace, users will be able to convert fiat payments into bitcoin in real time. Businesses can also set an automatic amount of their payments to be converted into bitcoin, or they will be able to manually convert any amount into bitcoin they wish. Businesses will also be able to view their bitcoin wallets and conversion rates at a glance within the app. The application will also allow businesses to connect directly with their bank accounts enabling accessible bitcoin conversions from fiat at any time. Convert incoming payments to #Bitcoin in real time, automatically or on demand with the new @OpenNode app featured in the upcoming @Stripe App Marketplace.
