I-Shoppes and Chipotle’s Partner Flexa Launches Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana for E-commerce Payments

Flexa, an e-commerce payment platform, has announced the launch of cryptocurrency components, adopting Bitcoin and other digital currencies in the process. According to Flexa, the launch signals a revolution in the adoption of cryptocurrency in the e-commerce industry and makes it easier for app developers and merchants alike to use reliable payment infrastructure with cryptocurrency embedded in it.

Since its launch in 2018, Flexa has partnered with the likes of Chipotle, I-Shoppes, Mikimoto, Regal Cinemas, 99 Ranch Market, and many others, thereby increasing the payment options they can offer.

With different companies adopting cryptocurrency, Flexa believes crypto adoption requires seamless transactions; hence, it has launched Flexa Components as a bridge for merchant financial infrastructure.

As the “first asset-agnostic, embeddable toolkit” helping developers interface directly with merchant point-of-sale systems, Flexa Components allows merchants to interface with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Lightning, Litecoin, Polygon, Zcash, and many others.

Flexa is available in thousands of locations across the UK, both online and offline, and comes with zero fees.

Cryptocurrency is gaining wide adoption globally, but it is also frowned upon by some global economies, as some countries see it as a threat to their prosperity. Today’s Gazette published how Nigeria has been meeting cryptocurrency with stiff policies, and how Binance is being seen as a means of terrorism financing in the country.

In the same vein, cryptocurrency clarity is gradually being introduced, as highlighted by the recent Ripple Labs victory. Ripple had a significant legal engagement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) aimed at bolstering crypto clarity.
