Example: How a Phoenix Repair Shop Let Customers Know It Accepts Crypto

Gail, a warm older woman with grey bob hair, dark glasses frames and a teal jacket, places a small laminated card with a QR code next to the register in her phone and laptop repair shop in Phoenix.

Gail runs a phone and laptop repair business in Phoenix. After enabling crypto through her Square account, she wanted to let customers know without making it into a big announcement. She added one line to the bottom of her website: 'Crypto accepted at checkout.' She posted once on Instagram with a photo of the QR code at her counter and a caption that said customers could now pay with crypto and the dollar amount stayed the same for them. She put a small laminated card next to the register. Over the following month, four customers used it. One was a regular who had asked about it before. Two were new customers who mentioned they had found her by searching for local businesses that accept crypto. One paid for a laptop repair in USDC after asking one question: does the price change? Gail said no, the price is always in dollars. The customer scanned the code and paid. That was the entire conversation.
