These are both ours, but only used for internal testing and not part of our production infrastructure.
Not to my knowledge. We've looked into a couple, but haven't found one with the right combo of customer base and open API/payments model that would let us slide in. We could be missing an obvious one, so let us know if it's out there. It's an obvious next step to e-commerce.
I'll answer #2:
It's extremely satisfying to be a part of people's journey to stack sats. Previously, my favorite product I had ever built was the trading feature at Unchained Capital. Helping people stack sats directly to cold storage with keys that they control.
Zaprite helps you do the same. Stack sats directly to a wallet of your choice. Often times that is directly to cold storage with keys you control. I wanted that for a decade before being able to build the products to encourage that behavior.
We've found fiat optionality to be a requirement for the majority of our customers. We've invested a lot in making sure the fiat options sitting side-by-side with bitcoin are the best at what they do. Most businesses, even bitcoin businesses, still have obligations in some fiat currency or another, and they appreciate being able to stack both. It also helps sales. More discerning customers have found success in adding a premium to fiat payments, showing a clear preference for bitcoin. Wilson Mining did a nice video that covers some of this: https://twitter.com/WilsonMining/status/1766544769281413572?s=20
Indeed. We love Shopify. Their app store is a bit more locked down than WooCommerce's, but we've been talking to them and hope to be in there this summer. The main issue we're working through is that we don't take a transaction fee, which looks odd to Shopify. We'll get through it though!
To expand on John's note: Wallet connections are front and center as are primary integrations with other e-commerce platforms. A core part of our strategy is to bring Zaprite payments to where you already are; the wallet/custody arrangement you like, and the platform you like to sell on. Let us know if there is a particular wallet or e-commerce platform you'd like to see us add.
We're also keeping a close eye on BOLT12, creative ways to do subscriptions that could be productized etc...
