“The Hudson’s Bay Co.-owned department store teamed up in January with Pounce, an app that allows shoppers to snap a picture on their smartphones of an item from the retailer’s catalog, and complete the transaction via a mobile checkout.  For those who don’t want to use traditional credit cards, the app’s partnership with Coinbase—a digital wallet that stores the evasive cryptocurrency—means shoppers can now tap into their bitcoin allotment to pay for their new pair of jeans, Hudson’s Bay Co. confirmed.  Lord & Taylor is not the first retailer to sync its online operations with Coinbase.  Overstock.com also offers the service to online shoppers.”
