Book Your treehouse with Crypto: Bookatreehouse.com Integrates BitPay
We’re thrilled to announce that guests can now pay for their treehouse stay on Bookatreehouse.com with cryptocurrency. Thanks to our partnership with BitPay, you can confirm and pay your booking in seconds using digital assets such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), Dogecoin (DOGE), XRP, Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and popular stablecoins like USDC. BitPay instantly converts your crypto into local currency for the host, so everyone enjoys a smooth, worry-free transaction.
Why Crypto Payments Make Sense for You as Traveler?
Faster International Transactions
Traditional cross-border payments can take days. Crypto settles almost instantly, letting you lock in your dream treehouse without delay.
Lower Fees
Credit-card surcharges and foreign-transaction fees add up. Crypto network fees are typically a fraction of those costs, and BitPay’s processing fees are lower than most card processors.
Enhanced Privacy and Security
You never share sensitive bank or card details. Instead, you approve a one-time payment from your own wallet to a BitPay invoice with a locked-in exchange rate.
No Currency-Exchange Hassles
Pay in the cryptocurrency you already hold. BitPay handles conversion behind the scenes, sparing you the headache of fluctuating exchange rates.
Finally, a place to use your cryptos!
The wait was long, but we're happy to be (one of) the first website where you can actually use you cryptos to pay for something useful!
