Moon is a small startup company with only three people on staff, and it recently released a new browser extension that allows consumers to use bitcoin when making Amazon purchases. The browser extension is compatible with Google Chrome Brave and the Opera browser.
After a user has installed the browser extension, it will automatically know if the user is on the Amazon checkout page and it can open an option for payment with bitcoin. The extension will also present how much each item in the checkout will cost in bitcoin.
Cryptocurrencies are becoming more popular and most of the major e-commerce retailers do not allow bitcoin as a payment option. This is why Moon is in a unique position as it can fill a demand for crypto payments on e-commerce sites.
