We tested Luno Pay at Pick n Pay, and it was surprisingly quick and easy to buy products using Bitcoin at the retailer.
Luno Pay allows customers to pay merchants, like Pick n Pay, directly with cryptocurrency from a Luno wallet.

Shoppers can also buy airtime, electricity, flight and bus tickets, and pay municipal bills with Bitcoin at the till. “While for many years crypto was something for specialists on their computers, or used by early adopters trying it out, things are changing,” Pick n Pay said at the time.in monthly sales from shoppers using crypto to buy and pay for goods and services.
