In Sweden we got an electronics chain called Webhallen who accept
Bitcoin as payment through their website and allows the customer to pick
up the goods they purchase at any of the business's store locations. It
does to my knowledge not accept purchase of goods with Bitcoin through
their cash registers or Points of sale.
I would just tag each and all of those stores with payment:bitcoin=yes
Some in the Swedish osm community find it confusing to find out at
CoinMap.org that a business accepts Bitcoin but does not accept it at
the cash register/Point of sale. One in the Swedish osm community told
me that he/she asked a question at a Webhallen store at Sveavägen 39
where the personnel replied that they do not accept Bitcoin at the cash
registers/Points of sale of that store.
More in the osm community want a way to tag that a store accepts payment
in Bitcoin only through their website and not at a cash register/Point
of sale, vice versa or any combination thereof.
One idea that got proposed was payment:online:bitcoin=yes/no +
payment:offline:bitcoin=yes/no
where online=purchase through website and
where offline=cash register/Point of sale
Any ideas?
