Ah, so there you go. Thanks.

    As a merchant, you never need to hold bitcoin or expose yourself to any exchange rate risk if you don't want to.

    Most merchant set prices in their local currency and get paid in their local currency. For this "instant exchange" service we charge 1% plus $0.15 to convert the bitcoin you receive into your local currency (the same price if you manually sell bitcoin).

They should really make that more readily accessible. I have to imagine that there are a number of merchants that would love to put a "Bitcoin accepted here" sticker in their window, but don't realize how painless it could be.
