The Atlanta-based PeachDish sells specific premeasured ingredients for prescribed Southern-style meals featuring local produce, which it delivers to consumers in the Atlanta area. The e-commerce company's other partners include Uber, which it uses for delivery; and a number of local food retailers. BitPay is also based in Atlanta.

"There's a strong BitPay community out there, and we're eager to make PeachDish available to them," said Judith Winfrey, president of PeachDish, in a Feb. 23 press release.

BitPay recently partnered with Microsoft to exchange currency for digital content purchases. BitPay has also added support for Near Field Communication payments, offered a payroll option, and discounted its fees to attract smaller merchants.
