Lolli - Earn Bitcoin While Shopping Online
Since the advent of the internet, there has been a paradigm shift from the traditional face-to-face model of commerce to the electronic commerce model (e-commerce). No doubt, many of us have used at least one e-commerce service before to shop online, but do you know that you can earn Bitcoin equivalent of up to 30% of your total purchase while shopping online? If I may ask, have you ever been rewarded in cryptocurrency for shopping? Here's a good news; Lolli has blazed the trail in rewarding online shoppers in Bitcoin.
To get started with Lolli, you need to sign up in the website where you will be required to install the Chrome extension from the website. Once you've signed up, you will see the "add to Chrome" button at the top right corner of your browser, click on it and it will redirect you to the link to install the Chrome extension from. Alternatively, you can click on this link to take you straight to the Chrome extension installer. This works for PC users, but for iMac Users, there is still an option for Safari extension (For Safari browser). The installation is pretty easy and fast and should be completed in less than 20seconds (depending on your network speed). Once you have done this, Lolli icon will appear on the top corner of your browser which will notify you when you are shopping on Lolli-partner stores. Here's how Lolli works in a nutshell: Firstly, install Lolli extension and activate it. Secondly, get notification when you are on a Lolli-partner store - the notification normally changes the colour of the Lolli extension logo from Purple to Reddish. Thirdly, Get Paid in Bitcoin for doing your normal shopping. Viola!! It is that simple.
Currently, Lolli has secured the partnership of over 500 retail stores which represent almost all the categories of goods people normally shop online. Anytime you want to perform an e-shopping activity, be sure to activate the Lolli extension so as to earn some Bitcoin. Clicking on the activation button on the top right corner will show you the percentage of Bitcoin you will get from a particular retail store while making purchases. The total percentage of Bitcoin earned from a particular retail store might vary from another store. Here are some of the Bitcoin Percentages for different retail stores:
| Retail Store | BTC Percentage |
|---|---|
| Jet.com | 3.5% |
| Hilton | 7% |
| Samsung | 6% |
| Overstock.com | 9% |
| Groupon | 9% |
| GoDaddy | 9% |
| Harry.com | Whopping 27% |
You can get a full list of the partner stores and the percentage offered from here.
Is there a better way to shop online than to get paid in Bitcoin while shopping? To add up to the goodness in Lolli, they have introduced a referral program where a user will get $5 equivalent of BTC for referring others. That is, when people sign up to Lolli with your unique referral link, BTC equivalent of $5 will be paid into your Lolli wallet. the BTC can easily be converted to fiat or used for online purchases. Here's my referral link https://lolli.com/ref/6Ab6cYuyLf, feel free to use it to sign up.
To shop using Lolli extension, here's an easy way to do it: Click on the list of partner stores, you will be redirected to an interface hosting all the stores supported by Lolli. Assuming you want to buy from harry.com (of course it offers a whopping 27% BTC back), you will just need to click on "harry" - as shown in the screenshot below.
You will get a memo stating that you will receive 27% Bitcoin back. You can go ahead and make your purchases and at the end of your purchases, your Bitcoin will be credited to your account.
One great feature of Lolli is the simplicity it employs. You don't need to be a tech savvy to use Lolli, neither do you need to be a cryptocurrency expert to get your way around the services provided by Lolli - it is absolutely beginner's friendly. For all the online shoppers, if you have not already gotten Lolli extension, you can sign up today and enjoy the amazing perks that come with it.
