Amazon is an e-commerce giant, as their logo states you can buy A to Z on Amazon using your fiat debit or credit cards.

But for crypto lovers, Amazon does not accept any crypto payments.

As a crypto lover, you can buy any product on Amazon using alternative payment methods utilizing different platforms.

Here I listed different platforms that allow you to shop on Amazon using your Bitcoins.

Moon Browser Extension.

Moon is the US-based startup operating since 2018.

They launched the Chrome browser extension, which helps you to shop on Amazon with Bitcoin, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, or Ether.

To use this extension, you must have any Bitcoin wallet that works on the top of Lightning Network (Lightning Network lets you open a payment channel between Lightning nodes to enable fast transactions).

Also, you can use Coinbase’s API to spend Bitcoin in seconds.

Here is a detailed video of how you can utilize Moon extension to spend your Bitcoin.

Moon made it clear that they convert your Bitcoin to fiat currency before paying the merchants, thus, serving as an interface that allows Bitcoin payment on Amazon.

Not only Amazon now Moon let you spend your Bitcoin in Uber Eats also they want to expand to other e-commerce websites soon.

For now, they operate within the US, and Canada, in future, they plan to expand the operation to Europe.

Purse.io.

Purse is a US-based escrow platform operating since 2014.

This platform uses Amazon Gift cards in exchange with Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash.

Purse is a platform which matches buyers with gift cardholders. The gift card holders purchase the item you choose for you in exchange for Bitcoin, which is the easiest way to redeem an Amazon gift card for the money. This means that if you have extra gift cards, you can also take advantage of the Purse.io system.

You don’t have to worry if your item could not be delivered because the Purse is an escrow platform they wait until the Amazon product arrives your doorsteps before issues payouts. That means you can redeem your Bitcoins if you didn’t receive the product.

Another awesome thing is, with Purse, you can get up to 33% discount on your purchases.

Even make your shopping more easy with Purse, they released a Chrome extension.

To use this extension, you have to connect your purse account to it.

After connecting, this extension popup when you’re on the product page.

After clicking on checkout new page open and ask you to set Discount percentage.

The high discount means the product delivery delays and purse charges high fee to your order that’s why always set discount 5% to a maximum 10%.

After clicking on continue, purse asks your delivery address then you have to send your Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash to the displayed public address. that’s it your order placed.

The Chrome extension works well on amazon.com however you can create a public product wishlists links and paste on the purse to utilize this tool on other amazon versions.

SpectroCoin is the UK based crypto exchanges operating since 2013.
