My 11y old son asked me today if I can "make" the local convenience store accept BTC/LN so he can spend his SATs ( he gets most of his pocket money in SATs.)

The shop is in-between home and school and they pop in after school for some sweets/ snacks/ drinks!

This is the best Project Brief ever give to me but also the most daunting for me. I can build tools for BTC but how to I even start to try and convince a local business to accept BTC/LN

Calling on all reinforcements for this one ! All tips are welcome

Does he want more business? Simple as that.

Doesn't need to be orange-pilled just yet. Auto convert to fiat to begin with. Just another payment method for him at zero cost. No charges, no charge backs.

Even offer to buy the sats back for fiat yourself to get him started.

Here’s the math on it. The bottom line is the merchant isn’t going to save a meaningful amount of money. I’m a bit surprised it’s not more given how a many transactions it would be over a year. No need to read all of this - but it’s here if you want to.
