BitcoinFriendlySA online store

Shop local SA goods with Bitcoin only. No rands accepted.
We partner with small businesses that accept Bitcoin and curate their products for online purchase. All payments are made in Bitcoin, and our partner merchants are paid in Bitcoin.

Why this store exists

Bitcoin is often called digital gold but it’s also money you can spend. This store exists to:

  • Give South Africans a place to spend Bitcoin directly on everyday goods like coffee and tea without converting to rand.
  • Support merchants who already accept Bitcoin in-store by giving them another channel to generate sales and earn more Bitcoin.
  • Grow real-world Bitcoin spending.

Current partners
