The company has also announced the launch of a “repurchase” feature, which enables users to immediately top up their bitcoin wallets after they make a purchase in the digital currency.Once placing an order via the checkout page of a site that uses Coinbase as its bitcoin payment processor, users can click a “Repurchase” button and refill their wallet directly from their bank account. Previously, users had to navigate to the main site’s “Buy” page in order to add more bitcoins to their wallets.A walk-through of the process can be found on the Coinbase blog.
