In brief: Beaugrenelle shopping centre opens up to cryptocurrencies

The Beaugrenelle shopping centre in Paris will be the first establishment of its kind to accept cryptocurrencies. Customers will be able to use their cryptocurrencies to pay for purchases in 115 shops and restaurants in the mall.

    Purchases will be made via a gift card provided by the French startup Lyzi, which is a payment, buying and selling crypto app, but also cash-back.

    In fact, a 10% bonus will be offered by Beaugrenelle to each of its customers.

    Customer journey:

        All you have to do is enter an amount in euros on the platform, which displays the equivalent in cryptocurrency.

        The platform generates a QR code that merchants only need to scan to validate the transaction and be paid in euros.

    A total of 21 cryptocurrencies can be used, such as bitcoin or ether.

    The operation will take place between 8 June and 8 July 2022.
