To this day, at least 65 brick-and-mortar stores are using Keychain Store to receive payments in HIVE and HBD.
Based on feedback, we are introducing two new features today:
Currency conversion
Stores can now generate invoices in HIVE and HBD by entering the value of the goods in their fiat currency. Keychain uses the Coingecko API to convert it into HIVE or HBD seamlessly.
In this example the HBD price is calculated from Euros
Sharing invoices
To enable remote payments, we added a Share button to send invoices using any messaging App:
Pressing the link will normally redirect directly to Keychain and proceed with the payment confirmation. If Keychain is not installed, or if the link is opened in an App that doesn't support redirects (Messenger for instance), it will show this page instead:
Future updates
Keychain Store is still a pretty basic App, but we will improve over time as we receive feedback from its users. We are looking into generating and sharing receipts once the transactions have been confirmed.

Awesome adds! Keep on going!
Very cool! The currency conversion feature will give merchants the peace of mind that it will be accurately priced based on what they know is the fiat value of the goods and services offered.
I just want to clarify, the conversion to HBD… is based on Coingecko? I noticed that HBD’s price shown in coingecko is unstable compared to Hive’s Internal Market. Will this be an issue?
I am still facing issue with biometric login on the app.
Another great addition and good to see that now keychain is adding features that are good for merchants. Great work team
Those are two nice utilities, I hope the keychain continues to improve. We need more improvements in Hive.
Good utility for the users to accept payment and generate invoices the easiest way possible. As always good work done by @keychain
The conversion feature looks like a game-changer, awesome! It's going to help a lot people which use currencies with a completely different value than the US dollar.
I still don't understand why developers include the HBD price shown by coingeko or coinmarketcap, which is the one Upbit has.
I hope the day will come when we have a developer that shows the actual HBD (internal market) price. At the moment this tool is of no use, it only causes confusions to be generated.
I had no idea this was even a thing. Pretty cool to find out about this "real world" use
