Introducing SteemEconomy.com - A Directory of Businesses Accepting STEEM/SBD
Today I just launched a new website!
SteemEconomy.com
What is SteemEconomy.com?
SteemEconomy.com is an up-to-date list of businesses that accept STEEM/SBD as a form of payment.
The main goals of this website are to:
- Provide Steemians with an easy-to-use interface where they can find all of the places to spend their hard-earned STEEM/SBD.
- Help support the Steem economy by connecting Steem-based businesses with potential customers.
- Encourage more business owners to start accepting STEEM/SBD as a form of payment.
What is the status of the project?
So far, I have collected over 50 businesses including coffee shops, restaurants, online stores, graphic designers, hosting companies, and more!
"Version 1.0" now is officially live!
Version 1.0 has:
- A directory of over 50 businesses accepting STEEM/SBD as a form of payment.
- A list of exchanges that support STEEM/SBD.
- Instructions for merchants on how to start accepting STEEM/SBD.
- A form for users to make suggestions and submit new businesses to be added.
What is the future of the project?
As the community and Steem economy continue to grow, SteemEconomy.com is planning to grow with it.
As new businesses such as SteemMonsters start up, and existing businesses decide to tap into our amazing community, it will be easy to add them to the site.
I'd like this to be the "go-to" place for anyone looking to spend their STEEM/SBD.
Looking for feedback
Please let me know what you think so far. Suggestions are welcome. Also, if you know of any businesses that need to be added site, please let me know.
You can make suggestions using the website's contact form, or you can reach out to me in the comments below, on steem.chat, or Discord.
Awesome!
Great to see a list of everyone on the SteemPowered train!
The Garden Of Eden has been accepting Steem for over 1.5 years before even peerehub existed.
We also have over 100 hand made SteemGear designs available for Steem and over 1000 unique items available
More than anyplace I’m earth!
To SteemFinity and beyond!
Tim, so nice to have you on our side!
Does SteemEconomy have job board? E.g. I'm Analyst / Data Engineer and could help someone with his or her data.
Check out steemgigs.org. I'll add that one to the site too - thanks for the reminder :)

excellent initiative tim would be great if one could classify the reputation of the seller that would give an idea to other buyers if the seller is reliable.
Agreed. I’m thinking of some ways to possibly integrate a feedback mechanism.
May want to have a chat with @asbear who runs steempayco
I actually already have that listed on this page:
https://steemeconomy.com/how-to-accept-steem-sbd/
:)
Asbear announced recently that he is building a directory of real life businesses accepting Steem/SBD as well.
Maybe combined, and also with the efforts happening in the promo-steem community an API can be built. That benefits everyone. :)
I like that idea. Reputation, customer opinions, etc.
clearly the reputation that the users give to the company speaks very well of the service that they provide to the buyer.
as you say the comments of the users who have already used any of the companies in steemeconomy.com would be very helpful at the time of buying with our steem ..
I like that idea. Reputation, customer opinions, etc.
Thank you so much Tim really appreciate you sharing this information.
Duuuuuuude! Free advertising! Yes please. Also looks like I am the 1st Brick and Mortar listed in the US! Pretty cool man. I dig the site and all the businesses listed on it. These are the types of tools we will need to gain more adoption.
Cheers to you @timcliff super job!
That’s awesome work. If someone can get the Etsy plugin to work again I’d definitely push steem out as a payment method.

A lot of Etsy store owners are just allowing people to contact them via Etsy to arrange STEEM/SBD payments.
Do you have any details on the plugin that was there before? I wasn't aware one ever existed.
My apologies, I said Etsy, but I meant Shopify.
Here is the link to the tutorial from @adept

A few stores had it working, but now they don't seem to actually work anymore.
I opened an issue to add a tutorial to the developer portal on how to integrate payment processing. The dev team seemed interested in getting it added.
Thanks bud. It’ll open a tonne of possible options especially for drop shipping companies

Awesome job Tim. Curious does the site automatically find other steemians when they have something new to offer for steem/sbd? Thanks.
No. It is all manual data entry. I have myself as the main contact person that people can reach out to, and there is also a form on the website where people can submit new businesses.
What an awesome idea! Have actually been wondering, if there is a directory like this somewhere... well, you did it!
I have already sold my fine art prints here on steemit for STEEM/SBD, and I will certainly continue to accept this form of payment. Do you think I can be added to your listing?
I'm a professional artist and also have a "real" gallery here in Germany...
Yes. There is a form on the website where you can submit the info for your 'business'.
My feedback would be to add the logos of the different buissneses so you can recognize them easier.
Good suggestion, thanks!
WOW! This is just what I've been looking for @timcliff! I want a place where 1) I can purchase service & products in Steem $ to support other Steemians, and 2) I can sell my own services, courses, etc for those who want to buy in SBD. It is a win-win situation. Thank you for sharing this.
