Yes, there are some interesting real-world examples.
One notable case is ZenMarket, a Japanese proxy shopping service that integrates cryptocurrency payments through CoinGate. The company wanted to attract crypto users worldwide and provide an alternative payment option for customers who preferred digital assets.
According to the case study, ZenMarket experienced a 264% increase in sales compared to the same period in the previous year after introducing crypto payments. Interestingly, crypto transactions accounted for only a small percentage of total monthly sales, but the company reported that crypto payments helped expand its user base and attract new customers.
The company also benefited from increased brand visibility. After positioning itself as a crypto-friendly platform, ZenMarket received attention from media outlets and crypto-focused communities, which helped drive additional traffic and awareness.
Another advantage was improved accessibility for international customers. By accepting cryptocurrencies, users could avoid some of the currency conversion challenges and payment limitations often associated with cross-border transactions. ZenMarket also highlighted lower transaction costs compared to certain traditional payment methods.
While crypto payments alone don't guarantee revenue growth, the ZenMarket case suggests that offering crypto as a payment option can help businesses reach new audiences, improve customer convenience, and create additional growth opportunities especially for companies serving a global customer base.
